1000 Needles

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] 1000 Needles is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", LTZInc, took a template from the godawful Construct 2 game construction kit, slapped a couple of asset flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam. LTZInc has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off construction kit templates and dumping them on Steam. Don't believe me? Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/720470]Caveman Alive[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by Vyacheslav Shilikhin [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/709780]Crazy Scientist[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by Vyacheslav Shilikhin [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/715980]Eared Hero[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by Vyacheslav Shilikhin [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/699550]Forest Guardian[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by OnBlind [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/860440]Goat Life[/url]", co…

Fun 20 minute game that you can pay for with CS:GO items. It's frustrating at first but it's satisfying when you master the game. Not sure why the user tags include "simulation" and "shooter" but ok.

Terrible platformer game. simple mechanics but the hitboxes and controls are horrid. The theme doesn't even make sense. Why are you a porcupine jumping on logs to find a wrench that makes the water tower start spewing? You also can slide around and jump for a couple seconds while dead before the level restarts. Not much to say other than it's just terrible. Not worth even at a discount. that being said, still with just 12 levels I beat the game fully in 16 minutes.

I'm playing Steam games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/7Ysf9gMKse4 43:08 Prefer to read? 1000 Needles is a poorly slapped together excuse of a 2D platformer that achieves a level of "playable" and seems to be content with that. The majority (possibly all) of the assets are pre-made from an asset store, the level design is uninspired, character animations don't play correctly, hitboxes are poorly implemented, and there's a meagre 12 levels to complete. The single music track restarts if you leave the level select menu and go back to the title screen, and although gameplay is purely with the keyboard, you can't navigate menus without using the mouse - and you're kicked back to the level select menu after completing each level, meaning you're constantly swapping back and forth. Not that it really matters, because you'll be done in 15 minutes anyway.

This game would've been a perfect 2D platformer, but it has almost impossible jumps on some levels, and I just wouldn't recommend it. It may even be impossible to beat.

One of the worst platformers I've played with surprisingly poor music. Another craptastic game from a notorious asset flipper.
