Have you ever thought about how fun it can be to be a giant pin that is untouchable but touchable by everyone? We thought and made this great game for you! The blue character has a place to reach, but the red characters are more than willing to beat him up. As the legendary needle, befriend the blue character on this road and help him reach his goal. Hope you have a lot of fun hitting the bad guys...
