For: I wanna be the Fangame!
One of the first fangames, though not quite the first as some people think ('I wanna save the Kids' & 'GunDude Game' predate, it among others). That being said, it gave its name to the genre of games that would follow, so points for that.

The game itself plays very similar in style and aesthetic to the original 'IWBTG', although slightly harder, with more secrets, and a broader variety of different bosses. The overall quality and difficulty scaling is less well handled than 'IWBTG' and the final ascent of the tower at the end is rage-inducing in its finickiness. It's just fine on its own merits, but its place in fangame history makes it a must try for people new to the community.

People are way too harsh to this game. Sure, it's short (can be comfortably beaten in under 15 min once you're used to it) and part of a series which has been abandoned, but that's sad more than anything. For what it is, this game features great visuals, an awesome sound track and a fun additional gimmick in the form of a claw arm which really adds a lot of interest to the dynamics of the game. Definitely worth a play.

All time classic. What I'm particularly impressed with is how many of the modern fangame genres derive from this in some tangible way. Adventure and Boss is self explanatory, but as well as that, there's Needle (the section with the platform moving through the spikes), trap/troll (the game is filled with them), Puzzle (arguably the arkanoid section) and Avoidance (the Vic Viper section). There's even water physics for exactly one screen's worth.

A gem far ahead of its time, no other game could be better suited to launching a thousand emulations, derivatives and evolutions like it has. The physics is a bit funky and there are bugs, but it still holds up to this day.
