About

Needle Gap

Features
Read full description

Needle Gap is a clean one-tap arcade puzzle about timing, focus, and tiny openings. Tap to launch each pin into the rotating core. Every level asks you to read the motion, find the gap, and thread the needle without touching the pins already fixed to the circle. The rules are simple, but each stage adds more pressure through tighter spaces, faster motion, direction changes, and shifting rhythms. Play through 50 offline levels designed to grow steadily harder. Early stages teach the timing. Later stages test patience, precision, and quick decisions. Features: - 50 progressively harder single-player levels - One-tap controls built for quick sessions - Level select with local progress storage - Star ratings for clean clears - Minimal black-and-white visual style - Original built-in music and sound effects - Music and sound toggles - Fully offline: no login, no network, no ads, no in-app purchases Needle Gap is made for players who enjoy small, focused challenges where one clean tap can make the difference.
