NEEDLE RUN
Fly through gates, avoid pursuers, and chase score multipliers for a leaderboard spot.
About NEEDLE RUN
NEEDLE RUN has you thread a craft through a series of gates while something hunts you. Every run is a scoring attempt with three parts: pass through the gates, stay out of the pursuers' reach, and pick up multipliers to push the total higher.
The game is framed as a take on the Pacifism mode from the Geometry Wars series. It is a single-player arcade game, rendered in 3D with Three.js and played in the browser, and it placed 98th of 945 at Vibe Jam 2026.
That puts the emphasis on evasion and on routing a path between the gates and the pursuers as they close in. The multipliers reward taking risks, and the leaderboard gives every attempt a number to beat and a spot to chase.
