A short but very well made fangame.
The graphics are different from the usual kid and blocks. They were probably hand made, which goes to show the effort and care that was put into this fangame. The needle wasn't very difficult at all. No very tight jumps, no special tricks. The traps were a bit tedious at times but mostly were easy to dodge once you knew about them. The traps were also quite unique. The boss wasn't very difficult, and didn't pose much of a challenge at all.
The only downside of this game was that it barely posed any difficult challenges. Especially if you're not new to needle, this game is very, very easy.
Short, well made, and it's obvious a lot of detail was put in. A fun fangame you can beat in 5-10 min.
Would recommend.

I've played through this game 3 times, once for the bad ending and two more times for the true ending, this will forever be my favorite fangame as everything about it is outstanding. It takes hours to get through the game so you're not gonna run out of content any time soon, and it's fun to rebeat it and see how much you've improved.
Honestly just play it, you won't regret it

Pretty fun adventure fangame with a horror setting. Just like Overlord, it's structured as a Metroidvania, but unlike it, this game is a lot more concise: The overworld is way smaller, and there are less items to keep track of, so even though there's no map, you aren't as likely to get lost (Seems like some people still got lost anyway, though). At the same time, everything is connected to a main hub, so even if you do happen to miss an item, you shouldn't have to replay a lot of sections to find it. Finally, every item has a name and description, and with both of these in hands it should be fairly easy to figure out their purpose in the game. I'm taking my time to mention this because many metroidvania fangames are also the "Where in the hell do I go?" type of games, but this one isn't and I definitely appreciate that.
Now moving on to the gameplay, the core of this game is a "Fear" mechanic, which works similarly to a health bar with some modifications. First off, you can recover your "Fear" bar by resting, as long as you are not in a scary situation (Usually a boss fight). Also, if your character gets too scared for some reason (Though I can only recall one instance of such an event happening), your fear will increase even before you suffer any damage. This mechanic allows the player to make mistakes as often as he wants, as long as he doesn't rush things, which is what makes this game more beginner-oriented even though some platforming sections would be relatively difficult otherwise.
The platforming is composed by a decent variety of gimmicks, moving obstacles and enemies to kill. Combined with the diverse spooky areas, they make for a nice amount of variety. There aren't that many bosses in the game, but the ones it has are among the most well-made bosses fangames have to offer. Nice variety of attacks, crazy good visuals and even though they aren't super difficult, they are still challenging enough to be memorable.
I do have a few minor issues with it, though. The "fear" mechanic isn't very well explored, working as a health bar 99% of the time. Like I said before, as far as I can remember there was only one time where the "fear" bar increased because the character was scared, rather than because he got injured. I've seen many people saying that this mechanic was very well explored in this game, but I couldn't disagree more. The second issue goes in a similar direction. This game takes place in a horror setting. It does a great job on making the visuals, musics and sound effects work together to create a spooky scenario. Yet, it just won't stop breaking the fourth wall and making jokes about it. It's never subtle about it either, it just rubs the jokes on your face like they are spikes and you are the Kid and you keep exploding in a big puddle of blood and pressing R just to take the next joke and that was a horrible comparison...Anyway, it doesn't feel like comic relief, it feels like the jokes belong on a different fangame, almost like the maker couldn't decide between making a scary fangame and making a troll game, and ended up making something that got stuck in the limbo between both genres. It feels cheap, and constantly breaks the player's immersion.
Anyway, gameplay-wise, it was a great experience for sure. Would definitely recommend.

This game is harder for the eyes than for the hands. It is very difficult for those who do not own the cancellation of the jump.

Some jumps seem a bit difficult for beginners but other than that it is a good beginner fangame

I had fun playing it.
It's a needle that doesn't do anything particularly difficult, but is still pretty challenging for beginners like myself. I found the background effect a bit distracting and pointless, but once I got used to it it didn't bother me that much. It was challenging but not in a way that made me mad. There were some jumps that were more difficult than others, which were usually at the ends of the stages. I found that it wasn't very annoying to grind said jumps, and it was especially satisfying once I landed them. The stages didn't have any gimmicks or anything that was over the top, but I didn't mind. It had good level design which was pretty enjoyable.
Good needle for beginners. If you're looking for something new, this might not be right for you.

Okay, I'm gonna cut to the chase: I haven't beaten this game. I haven't even passed the first save point. I just found this game irritating in general. The difficulty was pretty up there, but that might just be me. I'm new to needle fangames. The traps were annoying one-offs that gave you no time to react at all. The needle was difficult and not enjoyable. The controls felt a little off, I can't really put my finger on it. It felt a touch more slippery than usual. Maybe it was just me. All of these things added together make a game that's not very fun. Again, this might just apply to the first portion of this game. Like I said, I didn't beat it.
Over all, it was unfun and I didn't have the skill or the patience to beat it.
Wouldn't recommend.
