This is what I consider to be the pinnacle of fangame design.
Heavenly Host is a phenomenal adventure, oozing with atmosphere and creativity. It's structured similar to Cardinal House (one of my other favorite fangames), where you have to go into different rooms in a metroidvania style. Every single room feels unique, with plenty of them using gimmicks that never show up again. The items you collect always help you progress in really creative ways. The use of the Lockpick mechanic is outstanding, creating interesting puzzles without the difficulty of the gimmick's progenitors. The game is a good mix of platforming rooms and puzzly rooms, with many rooms managing to mix both without annoyance.
Finally, the boss at the end of the game is the most creative fangame boss I've ever seen, and holds up against bosses from professional games. Every attack feels completely unique, and it manages to use an item swap gimmick in a fun way, as well as blending in key usage.
There wasn't a single thing in this game I disliked. Everyone should play this.

Incredibly charming adventure game, that actually feels like a proper adventure game, with a focus on enemies mixed with platforming. The various stages feel unique and each one is fun. The bosses are super cool, with the handdrawn graphics being used to phenomenal effect with the bosses having multiple forms. My only gripe is that the main size changing gimmick doesn't feel like its used very much. Remove a couple jumps, and the game would be entirely the same without the gimmick. Its only really justified by the big form doing more damage. However, it's still really creative and this complaint isn't enough to reduce my enjoyment of the game, especially when the graphics are so much fun.

Interesting gimmick that isn't used to its fullest imo. You control two kids, one can jump and one can shoot. You don't get to use both for saves until later on, and these saves are kinda weak, with annoying traps. I feel like the gimmick could've been used for more, but despite that it's original and creative, and there's a lot of fun parts. However, the bosses were also pretty boring, and brought the game down a bit.

Phenomenal needleventure game with superb gimmicks and well styled graphics. Consists of a hub with 2 areas, then 2 more areas in a linear order. The left area is a forest stage with a really unique gimmick in which you much step on every grass block, however this makes thorns grow on top of it. This area was really clever, but a couple spots felt inordinately precise. The right area is an underground factory. This is the simplest area, just using moving spikes, however it's made interesting by an escape sequence in which the factory fills with water. The third area is in the sky, and uses a bouncy cloud gimmick. This is used really well, and there's some fun platforming here. Finally, the last area is a psychedelic rainbow dreamscape where the walls grow and shrink on you. This area looks incredible, and uses a really fun and creative gimmick to create really cool screens. Ultimately, I consider this game a must play, and one of the best beginner fangames I've played.

The visuals are really good in this, and I appreciate the extra effort for custom bullet sprites and the timer. I might've just been having a skill issue, but some of the attacks felt a bit too RNG heavy, especially for an avoidance of this level. Additionally, the dodges felt pretty samey for each attack. It's still pretty fun, but nothing too special.

Fun advanced beginner level avoidance. The visuals are extremely high quality, and the prettiness adds a fair bit to the enjoyment. Attacks are all cool, with some varied dodge patterns, however the difficulty balance is a bit inconsistent. The fences on the ground and the fireflies in some sections make it hard to see the player, which can be annoying at times. The avoidance goes on too long, with multiple "gotcha" attacks after the song ends. However, despite these flaws I had fun playing this and would recommend it.
