Bio:
I only properly rate games I truly enjoyed. If I didn't enjoy it, then it simply wasn't for me, and I don't want to prevent someone else from playing something they would otherwise love because of my words.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I took down all of the creator reviews of games I released before Chatran because I no longer wish to be intimately associated with them. Please don't ask me about them anymore; feel free to use any of them in a medley or whatnot, but I do not wish to know that you're using them.
You can download all of them outside of collabs here:

Don't be like infern0! Keeping track of clears is a mistake and I wish to spread this word! Play fangames to play fangames, not to cite a statistic!
Don't be like infern0! Normalize realizing your boundaries and don't commit to something if you aren't feeling it. Don't give in to the sunk cost fallacy! Approach fangames with a healthy mindset and it will reward you!
Don't be like infern0! Be understanding and receptive to the art the great people in the community can produce!

For: I wanna oguo needle
For: I wanna read the readme
I feel if anyone were to actually read what was included in here, you'd find it touches on every criticism listed by others. Its entire purpose asks the question of why it should exist in the first place, why anyone would or should give it attention; and then it tells you to move on, play something with actual content. Whether or not you like it, it's a novel concept; the readme says as much as well! It even discusses whether this can be even called a fangame in the first place!
I found humor in its concept and novelty, even if the whole thing wasn't exactly the most enlightening read. My personal belief is that it is a fangame because its contents touch on an everpresent element in fangames, even if a vast majority of players always ignore them; and because the author also refers to it as such. I think it has every reason to be included here; and I don't believe there's reason to worry about the slippery slope of seeing The Flood of non-game games appear here, because when has it in the past? I also don't truly believe it buries any other project one could play; this was going to happen whether or not this thing was released. I've long been vocal about my disappointment in what little attention StrathGaze has received since release, in spite of my efforts; but this existing and receiving attention to this degree doesn't particularly bother me. Why should I be jealous of another game's popularity? Yes, I pine for the same popularity of my own creations, as anyone should, but do I condemn what receives it instead, regardless of quality? I say no.
The criticism I think is overstated. I think many points brought up by others here are also completely irrelevant and only exist to touch on separate events from separate timeframes, and don't put forward any proper ideas on how to remedy their woes with the state of our community. This page, if I may outright say so here, has become a spot for people disenfranchised with our direction to vent, and I hardly see it the right venue for that.
But, I also think the praise is overstated; even if novel, it doesn't automatically make it a masterpiece. Of course, I can't and won't force others' hands in how they perceive this. It kind of is a waste of time; I think that was its intent as well. Troll fangames from every era set out to do just this anyways; and every time the reaction is just about as polarizing as this is. Actually thinking about it, historically this same praise on the likes of "I wanna be the my heart goes on" has garnered the same reactions from those who believe it's unfair for other makers who put REAL effort into their projects. Maybe if we stop giving these games so much attention then it resolves everything?
I don't know, history is a flat circle and this will happen again in 6 months time, you can bet on it. I just think all of you are annoying. I also think I'm annoying; it's not like me posting this review isn't also giving this game more attention. Actually, isn't every side giving this game unwanted attention?
Oops, I'm soapboxing like the readme is; if you read through this review for whatever reason, go put it on your clearlist next to the readme and play StrathGaze or something.

There's little in the way of cohesion here, and I feel the design could really benefit from tightening up at times (particularly on the screen transition department, sometimes it's really not clear where you're meant to go to continue). But barring the occasional bumpy bits, it's a game worth checking out.
