For: I Wanna Kill The Kamilia 3

Well. I finally did it. I tend to struggle a little bit with writing reviews and properly articulating my thoughts but, I just fucking beat K3, I don't care if I ramble and say random stuff that doesn't make sense, it's time to talk about this journey.

I remember watching a playthrough of I Wanna Be The Guy, which lead to me watching videos of fangames. The main videos I ended up watching were videos of all bosses in Kill the Guy and Diverse, but one day, I saw something that caught my eye. It was xwidghet's K3 any% TAS. I clicked on it because I actually happen to have a name that's VERY similar to Kamilia, and I just found that interesting. Being a dumbass child, I skipped around the video to find interesting things and got my first glimpse of Piano, a boss which looked so absurd to me that I assumed the game was an impossible TAS only kind of thing. I skipped to the end and saw M-Stage, probably save 7 specifically, and decided that yeah, the platforming is impossible too. For now, I moved on, but I kept the game in the back of my mind.

Many years later when I finally got my first pc, I ended up playing through and loving IWBTG, which then got me to try out Boshy, which took me much longer, but I did get to the end eventually. I was insanely proud of myself for that, and not knowing what to try out next, I remembered K3, and that's where the playthrough started.

I started this game on 10/18/23 and quickly grew to hate it, calling it mindless trash that's just hard for the sake of being hard. Back then, I couldn't do the corner on NCE because I didn't know about aligns. The first screen took me hundreds of deaths, I tried the secret 1 entrance and gave up after hours of trying, where I finally decided to move on and go for Flandre, where I decided I did actually want the first secret. After 1 more hour of that, I gave up. I did start playing K3 EZ and made some great progress there, which I found really fun. When I was on the third boss, I had to take a small break to go to our state chess tournament, and in the middle of an intermission between rounds, I checked my phone and saw that K3 2.00 had finally released. I saw people talking about the nerfs and decided that one more try couldn't hurt.

That's where my playthrough REALLY began. On 2/11/2024, I was finally able to enter secret 1. Surprisingly, I beat it after an hour. From there, my playthrough went pretty smoothly, for literally 1 week. On 2/18/2024, I made it to the dreaded Secret 2, where I didn't feel like learning numpad cancelling and I gave up for over a month. When I came back after a ton of time in jtool here and there, I beat it in 2 days, and could FINALLY move on. I got through shine & bright with ease, and stage 3 went very smoothly as well. I had a bit of trouble with RZ of course, but it wasn't anything major. With the help of the practice tool, I quickly moved on to stage 4.

From here on out, I knew things weren't going to be so easy. I was incredibly scared of boss rush and really struggled on the needle, but I got there through enough perseverance. This is also where I started streaming the game. It's important to mention that I wasn't even sure if I could beat Flandre, so seeing myself at the section that decides whether people beat the game or die trying was surreal. Most of it wasn't that hard, and I could feel myself improving as I went on, but then came Piano.

The boss that I thought was impossible. One that I thought would be so unbelievably difficult I could never win. And it definitely felt that way, as I passed 10 hours and got completely shocked by the fact that the grind kept going on and on, to the point where it seemed like it would take twice as long as the other 3 devas. I got demotivated, and it took 3 months for me to finally leave that boss behind. A grind that started on my 16th birthday ended randomly on September 9th of this year.

Beating Piano was the push I needed. I can never say how I did it because I don't understand it myself, but I FLEW through the rest of the game. I started putting in more time than ever, tearing through saves and avoidances like it was nothing. Cyber was a week long grind that I crushed, and it was only at that point when I realized that I really was going to reach the end of the game. I'm typing all of this out on 10/08/2024, the day I beat Kamilia, literally just a few hours after, and my progress this past year is hard to comprehend. How I went from someone who struggled on stage 1 to someone who cruised through the hardest any% content in the game is something I can never understand.

This game is very special to me, and so is the journey. There were lots of highs and lows, I made a ton of friends, and just enjoyed my time with it a ton. If I were alone playing this game, I likely never would have finished it. Naturally, I have a long list of people to thank.

Xwidghet, for making the TAS that introduced me to this wonderful but also very fucked up game.
Mastermaxify, for his complete playthrough that inspired me to continue even when I had lost all hope, and even showing up to cheer me on and help out with strats near the end.
Princedraconis12, for being an amazing friend who believed in me since before I started, and even showing up to help out with Kamilia Area. This one's for you.
Justdawn8, for also helping with Kamilia Area.
Roy, for never giving up on me and pushing me to go farther and farther. I would never have beaten piano without you man. Thank you so much.
D15c4rd, for supporting me through the absolute hell that was boss rush and making sure I didn't give up on it.
RitsukiCat & barzys, for helping out with strats and supporting me.
ameliandyou, slimetiemm, YGamingDude, Dullsonic3, and catgirlaether for showing up and supporting me through everything.

K3 will always be very special to me. I'm incredibly thankful to have experienced this game. One that I once considered to be nothing more than mindless trash ended up being one of the most important video games I'll ever play, not just the most important iwbtg fangame. Beating this game has been a long goal for me and now I have finally reached it, and now I just feel satisfied, much more than I did when I beat Boshy. I thought I would have a million thoughts racing through my head, I thought I'd be bouncing off the walls and while I was for like 2 minutes, I just feel... good now. It's hard to describe, it's just good to finally have the game done. It feels like a journey finally complete.


































what the hell am i supposed to do now? go outside?

For: WannaFest 22

This game completely blew me away for every second I was playing it. All of the classic games are recreated super well, and it's a goddamn miracle that Cherry Treehouse managed to get all of the 3D effects working and looking great. The animations are amazing, having the original voice actors is crazy, and the gameplay is super polished. Tons of these classic games aren't very popular, so when one popped up that I already knew about, it was really exciting to see. Best part is the game is really accessible, since the difficulty is kept down a bit. Perfect fangame for anyone who's cleared IWBTG, and I would recommend this to everyone.

For: I Wanna Be The Guy Remastered

By far one of the greatest 2D platformers to ever bless this earth. The original had a lot of problems, but this remaster is both faithful and fixes almost all of them. The game is difficult on your first playthrough, but some of the traps are so creative and funny that it just makes up for it. While some may be brutal, it's never discouraging to the point where you want to give up. This game just kept me coming back, and now i've gotten into the world of fangames. Thank you Kayin, and everyone on the team that made this incredible remaster!

For: I wanna Love the Winter 2

This fangame has really beautiful art, some traps are pretty creative, and its SUPER beginner friendly. It is a very short game, but the experience is really great. If you're new, I highly recommend this game!
