For: angel ring

I've played most of the maker's recent works, and I have to say that this is the best. You might think "Next, Lucien will definitely praise for this game", but actually not. First of all, content of this game is absolutely rich enough, with a total of 16 levels and about 50 screens, including some 80 difficulty levels. However, In such a long-length game, I didn't experience much level diversity, but lots of monotonous and homogeneous needle design, though appearance in each stage has something obviously different. This is actually also a general and old problem of his games. I have to say that his games are somewhat tedious, really, always 16px general or near-general jumps, otherwise very common combos of vine, water and platform. If his recent works were used as a training set, AI might be able to generate dozens of similar new games in 1 hour. As for the difficulty balance, it works well in most cases, but in a few cases it doesn't exist at all. You can even play a 50-difficulty level and an 80 one in 1 screen at the same time.
In the end, however, I'd like to say that it's difficult for him to make a game with excellent needle design for sure, but it's difficult for him to make a very poor game, too. In fact, although some levels once made me want to give up (considering the factor of "difficulty cheating", stages in the middle are much harder than previous stages), this game doesn't have too many unsatisfactory aspects. Most of the time, the needle design is decent enough. So if you are a high-skilled player, it might not be a bad choice for you.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

fun time, however overall just felt kinda forgettable, the kirby section was annoying, but the iwbtg trap section was by far the peak, with it being the most interesting part of the game. the final two bosses, however, The Kid and My Game Melody, were pretty long and boring and left a sour taste in my mouth by the end

Decent adventure game that has some ok bosses. Final bosses are also just ok, even with the production value. Overall, this was just a fine game.

VERY easy and short fangame with 2 easy to learn bosses, a cute art style, and an optional secret boss if you're willing to go the extra mile
id say playing this is a good way to dip your toes into i wanna be the guy fangames if you want something very short and doesnt require a large time sink, as it only took me 12 minutes to beat

For: I Wanna Plunder

Very cool idea of plunderphonics. It combined sprites and spikes from different games, and used some psychedelic and warped visual processing, ultimately formed a 3 screens needle game. However, what I'd like to say is, this idea hasn't actually made my game experience any better. In fact, it instead leads to a more serious problem, which is, it's really difficult to distinguish between blocks and backgrounds at first play, especially on the 3rd screen.
I found that finding the origin of pictures is way more interesting than the game itself.

Really cool avoidance game with a neat gimmick. It also comes with some good attacks to go along with it.
