Takes the quality and uniqueness of the original and elevates it in virtually ever department, this is an amazing gift to the community which shows a real respect for fangaming history. Beyond fixing all the bugs, it also adds a considerable amount of easter eggs, makes the secret items actually mean something, and adds a lot of post-game content which potentially adds hours of additional gameplay to the original.
This remake allows new players in the community to rediscover an old classic, and old players like myself to rediscover our love for the game that started it all. A monumental achievement.

A near perfect game with difficult but not overly frustrating platforming and a considerable dose of puzzles to boot, this is a grand rollicking adventure from beginning to end. The bosses are pretty nicely put togethor as well; Ariel in particular is one of the most obnoxious, challenging, but enjoyable bosses I've ever encountered in all of fangames. The final boss(es) are also amazing in both scale and enjoyability.
My biggest critique would be that the end platforming section feels unnecessary, and there is a massive missed opportunity to tell something of a story here to suit the epic vibes. For the life of me I don't see why fangame developers don't include more stories in their works, surely it's fairly easy to do and elevates the enjoyability of the game immensely?
Either way, this is a classic and one of the best Adventure fangames ever made.

A grand adventure of a game. Shares some gameplay similarities with MattinJ's other game 'I wanna be the Overlord' but has a much more light hearted vibe and bright style to it.
The story here is simply but nicely executed on. You live in a world that has been made dangerous by a "troll king" who has filled the world with various traps and trolls. Your job, of course, it to go kill him. Each of the world's has a distinctive and enjoyable aesthetic. Secrets are also peppered throughout, which can give important advantages for the final boss. I love the framing/rug-pull at the beginning, which fools you into thinking you've got a very different experience coming for you than you actually are. Trap/troll games have become less popular over the years, so it's always a pleasure to see high quality ones like this get released.
What really stands out, however is the bosses. Although not too difficult, the design of them is actually astounding. The Water Dragon in particular makes great use of a 2.5D aesthetic which can be a bit tricky to get used to but looks incredible. Every single one of them is pleasing to the eye and has a suitably epic soundtrack to boot.
A technically perfect game from a balancing and production level POV, my only critique would be it lacks a certain degree of length and epic-ness to justify a higher score. Still, this is an absolute gem and a must play.

What a great game this is. Made in just one month too, this is essentially a little adventure that takes your gun away and replaces it with a variety of mostly melee weapons. A lot of the sprites are taken from 'Maple Story' which gives a cute little vibe to the whole affair. The change in weaponry opens up a lot of fun opportunities to play with the tropes and expectations from fangames.
It's clear that the game didn't have enough time to get completed to the extent that MattinJ intended, with for instance a boss that is already defeated by the time you arrive , but for what it is this an excellent little game that pushes the genre in exciting directions. A must play.

I'm giving this a perfect 10; partly because it's my favourite fangame, and partly because its the ideal example of what the community should be expecting from the fangames being developed and released.
This is essentially a massive metroidvania style game, with multiple different routes and environments. The path taken is fairly open; if you're having trouble with one section you can always leave it and come back to it later. There's also an experience system which increases your damage output, so you can actually grind a little if a boss is giving you trouble, though I find the balancing is mostly pretty good.
The aesthetic of the game is amazing. It clearly draws from many different inspirations, including non-platformer games like the 'Dark Souls' series. The soundtrack is great too, with the music used for the 'Crypt King' being a particular highlight. Combined with an immense number of items (some of which are optional), a challenging but not unbearable difficulty, really cool bosses (the secret boss in particular is fantastic), and an enormous amount of secret levels and content, and you essentially are getting a full fledged game of at least >10 hours of gameplay for free.
Negatives would include a lack of description for items (although MattinJ does give opportunities to discover their purpose from the environment), a final boss which isn't quite as epic as he could be given the grandness of the adventure, and a lack of satisfying narrative which is sad considering how simple it would have been to integrate a few more characters and dialogues. Despite that, this is a fangame par excellence and should be held up as a standard in the community for high quality Adventure games.
(As an aside, in case it isn't clear, the 'White Snake Ring' doubles your experience gain. The final secret item, by contrast, doesn't appear to do anything. I tested it quite a bit and I'm quite sure about that.)
