Link anything together
Needle Eye is a cozy adventure game built around rope physics.
You can link any object or creature together using your magic needle. Feel like yeeting an annoying villager, flinging a tutorial panel, or launching sheep into the sky by linking them to a wind mill? Well, you can!
Overcome challenges and explore this world however you want: the only limit is your creativity!
Choose your solution
Since the game is based on physics, every challenge is open-ended and can be solved in multiple ways. Want to reach a new height, open a new path, or break something? Whether it's a plateforming challenge or a small puzzle, this world is your sandbox and it's up to you to find your own approach.
Complete quests and find secrets
Each map is a small sandbox filled with quests and secrets you can uncover by exploring and playing around with the physics. Link a lawn mower to cut some grass, try out the odd recipe hanging in the kitchen, or even play some bowling using the strength of your rope. Your journey book will help you find and track your discoveries.
Bring life to the town
Needle Eye is a peaceful but aging hamlet sunk into boredom… until you arrive!
Bring this town back to life in creative and chaotic ways using your needle.
Customize your plush
Playing as a tiny plushie also means customization! Complete quests, help the villagers restore the town, or discover secret interactions to unlock new hats and skins for your needle.
Honestly… who wouldn’t want to link objects using a baguette?
