I Wanna be the Salt is a classic fangame that I personally never got to know back when it was fresh. Therefore, when I say this is a great game, you know there's no nostalgia to explain it.

The platforming is at best alright, the visuals are crap even by 2015 standards, the secrets are hidden in the classic esoteric fangame way, and the bosses themselves are fairly simplistic. All of this would suggest this game would not hold up, but that's honestly not true. There's something special about salt, some hidden magic that makes this a joy to play through. I wouldn't say anything about this game is spectacular (although the true final boss is really quite good, as is most every boss), but it all gels into one cohesive, juicy product that leaves the player satisfied.

Each stage is rather short, also featuring a hidden stage and secret item per stage. Therefore, you'll be fighting two bosses per stage, totaling to 14 boss fights in the game. These fights are the gameplay highlight, most of them being quite fun to fight and with a nice bit of challenge to not leave you catatonic from boredom. Again, the platforming isn't anything to write home about, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The true final boss is, as you can imagine, the highlight of the game, being a rather long, rather fun, and rather challenging way to end the game. I personally beat it on my first try, so I can't speak to how difficult it really is, but I was at the very least surprised to have beaten it so quickly.

I wholeheartedly recommend this absolute classic, if you haven't played it already. This is a shining example of a classic fangame.

Rating doesn't include extra.
Focused on the traps, this is a easy-ish fangame overall, but its bosses can be quite tough with their RNG attacks. Particularly the last one, which also happens to be the best boss in the game and the only reason why this game doesn't get a lower rating. The platforming isn't bad, but it just doesn't have anything really appealing. The only good thing in this game is the last boss, which can get quite intense with its attacks. That being said, the boss is just decent, nothing really worth it. Wouldn't recommend.

Unremarkable Adventure game. Highlight was Sanipalt but it still wasn't interesting enough for me.

This review is based on a 100% Clear

Salt is a beginner adventure game which is very simple, although there's a decent amount to it. There's some secret items and mini secret stages to beat, and as such the game has quite a bit of content beyond just the any% clear. The main standout moment is Santipalt, which for this difficulty is a VERY long avoidance, and while it's not the most fun thing in the world, it's not horrible. Overall the game is slightly boring, but not really bad. It's decent.
