I don't remember starting this game but I booted it up and cleared the last save and all I can see and remember is 'really cool pathing with choose-your-own-adventure style routing'. Graphics are hard to see.

I'm really glad I decided to play through this game multiple times. There are four themed areas, each with an aesthetic that accompanies the gameplay to varying degrees. The strongest implementation is the water area, where the stages flood by the time you're finished, while the loosest is the fog area, which, despite the soft ambience of creeping fog, don't really reflect that type of weather in the level design. There are a few outright trolls, one of which made me cry from laughing so hard. Overall, this game is a perfect example of what drew me to needle in the first place and what causes me to continue to love it.

Edit: Here is a translation of the ending poem, graciously provided by icesaltfish:
"Poetry is like fresh water and flowers, and flowers are better than gorgeous articles.
The bright moon is infatuated with me. It makes me dream for a long time, and makes me feel as rich as possible.
Little butterflies fluttered their hair, and the blue dew soaked their cheeks.
Cangshan and Wind falls in love with each other, and the sadness is like the morning glow."

After having a conversation about the idea of a beginner L-needle game, I decided to check this out, and it is certainly that. I don't know how good a job it does at introducing the player to 'L-needle' concepts because I have not played enough of the subgenre to know what it contains at large. There mostly interesting shapes and a few platform boost towards the end. The game is quite short, so it is hard to find more to say about it.

A short and fun little game that I think technically fits in the Hades-like spectrum? It uses the same sort of pattern for bothe tiles and spikes and isn't very heavily produced. There's one normal screen and one extra screen, and the extra is (imo) significantly more difficult specifically due to the use of gravity flippers, which aren't present in the main screen. If you're good with flipped gravity, however, these will probably not be too much more of a challenge. I liked the way certain jumps just kind of flowed on a held direction, and how there didn't seem to be many frame-perfect timings (only two that I noticed, and both in the extra stage, so fair play). My favorite thing about this game was the save balance, they never felt too long, and always like you rewarded at just the right point for completing a difficult sequences of jumps, usually no more than three or four.
