If you are unspoiled on this game, stop looking at this page, go download the game and play it right now, then come back. I will not be touching on any specific content of the game in my review, but knowing absolutely nothing about this game is (what I believe to be) the best way to experience it. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Over the last couple of years, I have felt very little desire to play fangames. In my mind, I am done until *the* game comes along and proves itself to be worthy of attention. Once or twice per year, our community is blessed with one of *the* games. This year, WannaFest 22 is *the* game. To be clear: I was a playtester for this game, but I fell in love with this game the second I started watching its premiere during Fangame Marathon. When I was asked to playtest, I was entirely elated. Despite my obvious biases, I genuinely believe this is one of the best fangames ever made.
Every stage is an homage to classic games, most of which were sadly forgotten by the majority of people. The positive of this is that the people who grew up with these games or otherwise have a soft spot for them will be extremely pleased to see them receive attention from Cherry Treehouse. The games referenced and their relative obscurity notwithstanding, the game has extremely impressive attention to detail across the board. Where most fangames that reference older games arguably fumbles is inconsistency and/or inaccuracy. One of WannaFest's biggest strengths is more subtle than the average player would consider: every single stage's assets were manually ripped by members of Cherry Treehouse. When you are approaching your homage game from a more intimate angle like this, you will find a lot of little quirks and nuance with things ranging from graphical oddities to exact values for unique mechanics. While it seems like a small touch, it adds up and makes the game feel a lot more like a cohesive passion project than a game which simply mismatches graphics from Spriters Resource and calls it a day. Obviously this isn't the only good quality of the game; it has massive replay value, the music picks are bonafide jammers, the original graphics are beautiful, there's not a single segment in the game that is even remotely unfun... this particular quality is just one that is unique and was worthy of praise and deserving of explication.
WannaFest 22 is the pure embodiment of love. It is a love letter to video games the creators grew up with, and it is a love letter to the very game that started it all: I Wanna Be The Guy. Even Kayin said they don't need to make "I Wanna Be The Guy 2" because Cherry Treehouse already did it for them. Despite a large portion of it superficially coming across as "just" other games, WannaFest 22 is an extremely special and important game to me. It doesn't possess qualities that a lot of modern community members would probably consider key to a special game, but the qualities it does possess are inspiring and impressive to say the very least. This game is one of the few that has genuinely made me emotional, and I am so proud of Cherry Treehouse for seeing this project through, and not slacking where others likely would. Thank you for making this and reminding me that this community isn't just about stupid drama and insanely difficult grinds.

It would appear this game was made for Zorgo to cope, but science has yet to determine what the source of the coping is. There is exactly one stage of actual adventure gameplay, then you are presented with some mid guy rock/brown blocks trap needle. There are only two stages.
