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!

I think this game embodies the entity that is the IWBTG fangame perfectly. Years of fangame history are behind this game and it replicates a feeling that I haven't seen a fangame have in many many years.

You can tell this is a game the maker had fun making and that's the type of energy I like seeing in my fangames. Arzztt took what he loved about fangames and made a fangame out of it, not caring about its "production value" or whatever buzzword you could throw at it. You could craft the most beautiful landscapes and graphics I've ever seen and it wouldn't have the same impact on me as this game did because you did it to make it look good, not to make it actually mean something to you.

I think you can get a higher sense of appreciation for this game if you actually understood the references it makes though, so it may be lost on the crowd that doesn't branch out and explore. If you play fangames for needle or for the challenge or for whatever have you then you likely won't appreciate this game the same way someone like me would.

I only rate this slightly lower than VoVoVo because I got mad at Club Sunshine, admittedly hard to see the spikes with the mess of money being spawned towards the end; but it's still a great stage in a game filled to the brim with soul.

Bit heavy on the fulljumps but the needle is very relaxing overall, has some smooth movements and really cool yet simple trigger usage.

Very good gimmick needle with a weird but simple color palette. Gets grindy at the end but stays enjoyable throughout, though there are a few screen transition moments to look out for.

This maker put his best foot forward and made a must-play. Not a moment passes where you don't feel the artistry pulse through your veins. A masterpiece.

I'm not going to lay in too hard because this is the maker's first game, and for what it is it's pretty good. The needle in stage 1 reminds me of some of the stuff you could see in 2016-2017, that by today's standards isn't too difficult; the game picks up a bit in stage 2 and I think having a difficulty below 50 for this game completely fails to show how difficult it gets at its peak.

I appreciate the artistic intent and the music choices are very good. I do have minor complaints regarding the visuals; I appreciate what was done, but the tiles in stage 1 do really blend in with the backgrounds, especially towards the bottom of each screen. The rotated spikes and the triangle layouts were a cool touch for stage 2, though they do look a bit scuffed the way they are and climbing up the walls is a little iffy (for future reference, RedBatNick's recently released engine supports slopes scaling up to 4x the normal height! Think making use of smth like that could be cool for a future project perhaps). I'd maybe try to clean up the outlines personally but it doesn't affect the gameplay too much so it doesn't really matter. Stage 3 (could I call it a stage? It is rather short) was a bit suddenly bland I would say but at this point I'm nitpicking over the what-coulds I'm used to for my own stuff so I'll leave it at that.

I do think, while the platforming in stage 1 isn't necessarily unique, I don't think it matters too much. I found it fun for what it was. I do think stage 2 was a bit clunkier in comparison (and maybe that was intended); there were a couple jumps I thought were rougher than they should have been maybe.

For a first game you had good ideas, for sure, and it is a very good start. I see promise from you so I encourage you to continue making stuff and getting better at it.
