Cool music and seasonal pictures make this one a buy for me.

I was hoping for a new Halloween-themed game that would put me in the mood, but one that I could play in spare moments at my leisure. My Hobby: Needlework - Haunted Needle works for me.

The needlework pictures are varied, ranging from quick-stitch cute bats to full canvas eerie phantoms. Spools of thread for the colors and a needle cursor add to the stitching mood. The controls are smooth, and the instructions are easy to follow.

One of the features of this series of needlework games that I love is the music. For me, Graphium Studios always gets it right. In this case, the music is ‘hauntingly’ beautiful—spooky without being scary. I got Halloween vibes right away.

This developer is always improving his games, and this time we have a Gallery to save and enjoy our finished pictures.

For Halloween and/or coloring pixel lovers, this game should fit the bill!

... and this game scratches my itch, despite being released only a couple of months after the prior one in the series (called "Hello Summer".)

Some people love jigsaws, others prefer TMs, or match-3s, or HOPAS; personally, I'm "all over the place!" This series is quite different from other coloring games, especially because of the "needlework" look (which, I know, has advantages and disadvantages).

I just had to try it because BFG posted that image of the kitten next to a pumpkin, so having designs in time for Halloween is perfect timing (as a bonus, it's a cute kitten LOL.)

Also, dragging the needle (yes, I use the custom cursor) over cells of a different value does NOT color them inappropriately, so you don't have to get into a clicking frenzy to color the image... just start by clicking (and holding) in a cell of the PROPER color, and you're in business.

The images are not very big (I play a different game that has images of 250,000 pixels each!), and I would like to see the completed artwork in its entirety (zoomed-out automatically) once done, without having to go to the gallery (a new feature!)

All in all, something nice to relax to, with soothing music, where brain cells can take a break.

Try it... you too might become a victim of the haunting. Show less

I recommend this game!

Here's the deal as to why this is such a badly rated review. As others have stated, it starts out fine for the first puzzle you do but then the numbers get distorted and all over fuzziness. I can't recommend a game I can't see. When you fixed the summer one, I thought the future games would be fine. Why can't you apply that fix to subsequent games? I am planning on not buying another game in this ...Show more

I can't recommend a game I can't see. When you fixed the summer one, I thought the future games would be fine. Why can't you apply that fix to subsequent games? I am planning on not buying another game in this series until the reviews indicate it's no longer a problem. I encourage my fellow swimmers to do the same. I am betting it gets resolved quickly if the games aren't selling. Show less

The images are cute but again most are too childish for me. A Gallery has been added where you can keep your finished pieces. It's great that Graphium Studios delivered the game in time for Halloween and it is not a CE.

You'll find several of the images repeated in more than one category. The few adult artstyle pics appealed to me. I don't understand why everything is so juvenile, the focus ...Show more

The images are cute but again most are too childish for me. A Gallery has been added where you can keep your finished pieces. It's great that Graphium Studios delivered the game in time for Halloween and it is not a CE.

You'll find several of the images repeated in more than one category. The few adult artstyle pics appealed to me. I don't understand why everything is so juvenile, the focus should be on adult gamers,

The game works a bit differently than other pixel art games. Minimal features/options but they are very necessary for any progress and less frustration. The magnifying option is a must as well as zooming. The sewing machine helper is great, coloring in a large one-color area, there's a recharge time of 20 seconds. After applying a color to the pixels, it doesn't show until you choose another area to paint.

I like the spools rather than the traditional scroll for displaying the colors. They all look rather drab but in the finished pic some are much nicer and brighter. I've completed only a couple in the previous game and was pleased with the colors. There are thousands of cells in each image so each one is super time-consuming. Marvelous for those who don't mind the tedium and it does stretch the length of the game, but it drives me bonkers.

That deterrent along with the too-cutesy images make this game a no-go for me. However, I believe it will be very enjoyable for Halloween fans who want a game representing their special day. Show less

I recommend this game!

I got this game 2 days ago. the picture was blurry and the spools of thread you could not read. i had to count them to get a number and then some of the numbers was highlighted also.
I started out ok and liked it but after spending about 1/2 hr. everything went to pieces.

I don't recommend this game.

This game is unplayable. Started out ok then when opened the next all went blurry and could not read anything. There needs to be a fix because it has wasted my money.

I don't recommend this game.
