Unity game engine, no outside sprites were used. Sound effects were recorded and made in Audacity. I didnt compose the music, so I don't know the software

Wow, the transition between directions is so smooth and satisfying + the music gets more intense from there on out. I really like that!

Really love the unique movement mechanic! I love swift and fast movement. Sometimes uncomplete needle throw will leave thread without disappear which I don't know if this is a bug or feature. Anyway, the game is really fun (I got score around 1300++). Great!

Good movement, needle feels kinda op sometimes but that also makes it fun to use :D The music would cut out sometimes and I also did get stuck, when the direction changed from right to down and the ground didn't disappear. Didn't dissuade me from trying to beat my highscore though ^^

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed Vector Needlepoint and it's movement! I tried to figure out why the music would cut lol ><;

Thank you for your kind feedback and detailed bug report

I liked the concept and my highscore was 1986 haha, I tried playing only using the needle for movement and I think that's a cool way of playing without using the arrows and jumping and adds a level of difficulty and a learning curve and also I felt like spiderman lol

thank you! thats awesome, when I was thinking on how this game would work I did consider only having the needle for movement - and my sister said it was like spiderman too!

Such cool movement, feels really great to control!! not sure if this is supposed to happen, but i got trapped in a purple box during the vertical section, is that the end of the stage?

thank you and I'm glad you think so! I spent a lot of time trying to get the platforming right.
Unfortunately no, that wasn't meant to happen OO; - im guessing it must be a bug to do with directions changing or otherwise unlucky level generation..

Thank you for your feedback and I'll be sure to check out your submission ! <3

I like the gameplay. There's just one bug where I have no where to go and stuck then I lost. But fun game nonetheless.

Developer

oh no! it's very unfortunate that happened, im amusing it was just unlucky level generation when the direction changes? 

regardless, than you so much for playing and i'm glad you enjoyed!
