Hi, I'm Jopagu. She/they pronouns please :)
I don’t play much avoidance so my diff ratings on those might be scuffed.
Clears list is all the games I played before I started reviewing them. I'm trying to slowly go through those and replay/review them all.
I review games based on how much I would recommend them to others. 0s are reserved for games I do not recommend for ethical reasons. This does not mean I have anything against people playing or enjoying those games.

This game was quite disappointing. It starts off with a baseball area, which was incredible. It the rest of the game was up to this level, it would be an 8.5. This area has unique platforming gimmicks, funny traps, and a super fun boss idea. However, after this the game loses its luster. Most of the areas only pay lipservice to their sport, and the rock climbing area was the only one after baseball that actually felt like playing the sport. The worst offender is the horse area, which is just horses popping up in the foreground while you do generic platforming, with occasional horse themed objects. It ends with a boring avoidance that has nothing to do with horses. The martial arts area is generic and forgettable, with a couple martial artist characters scattered around. The surfing area is awful, with a lot of forced waiting and a janky gimmick. The rock climbing area is the second best, although the boss has too much insta-gib potential. The soccer area is good, with some funny traps, although it lacks a bit of cohesion, by the time the soccer boss came around I had thought I had transitioned into a new area. The final area is decent, and a good ending. The final boss is pretty boring and forgettable though.
Ultimately, I would suggest you play the first stage and then leave. There are some other good bits, but nothing at the same level, and it's hidden among a lot of bad stuff.

3lt@... is a fantastic little adventure game. Despite simple looks, it provides a variety of really fun gameplay. The game has several gimmicks that are all used to their utmost, taking a core concept and creating a variety of challenges with it. I usually shoutout a gimmick that I particularly liked in my review, but here it's hard to pick a favorite! The first brief stage has a bounce gimmick, which is fun but due to this being an intro stage isn't around for very long. The next stage has two cool aura effects, one that acts like a massive hitbox and the other that slows down moving objects. The third stage has a color changing aura that makes you immune to threats of the same color. The final stage has a cool enemy gimmick, where you can pick up enemies and use them as a weapon or to get an extra jump. All of these gimmicks are really fun, and their usage always feels interesting and never awkward (barring one platform save with the slow down aura). The bosses also use the gimmick of their stage, creating fun fights that play differently from standard bosses. The game ends with an avoidance that's much easier than everything else, and also not really super interesting. Frankly it felt like an unnecessary addition that wasn't up to par with the rest.
Overall, this game is an easy recommendation. It's short and sweet, with some great ideas and fun platforming.

Honyara is is a fun little adventure game with some cool puzzle-platformer gimmicks. The first stage is a classic guy rock trap stage. A lot of generic stuff, but a couple funny ones that made me chuckle, so overall pretty good. The second stage has an awesome bomb gimmick that enforces speed and routing in a puzzly way. Mixed with some fun traps, this is the best area. Although it's brought down by the boss, which is the lowest point in the game. This boss is just really unfun, having too much health, too much RNG spam attacks, and minion shields that make it hard to hit. Stage three has another puzzly gimmick. This one was a bit less interesting, although I still really enjoyed it, and there were some good traps made with it. The final boss is a pretty major difficulty spike, but it's a pretty deserved spike, as the boss is awesome. It's quite forgiving, giving you two extra lives, and making those lives regenerate over time. The boss is super long, but the later phases were much easier, and seemed pretty hard to die on, making it a fun climax instead of a grind. Due to the extra lives, the boss is allowed to go all out, with some crazy attacks that were really cool, and able to be a degree above normal bosses at this difficulty level. Overall, this is a good recommendation for adventure fans, especially those who appreciate traps and puzzles. For an experienced player, this will be a relatively quick play, so you should take a bit out of your day to play this!

Burnmind is a great experience, obviously heavily inspired by I Want. Despite that, I have a hard time comparing the two games. As much as they are similar, they are also different. Burnmind takes off some of the rough edges, but that's not to say it isn't rough. In Burnmind, you can find a stage that's out of a normal gimmick needle game, and you think that this has more mass appeal than I Want. But then, you immediately go into visual challenge movement gimmicks and you reconsider. I think ultimately Burnmind is a bit more fun, and the sanding of some edges was to the games benefit. However, it still maintains the sense of insanity that I want has.
Ultimately, I'm going to say the same thing I said about I Want. Going into the details would be doing the game a disservice. I think you should play this. But for the large portion of people who know they'll hate it, I still think you should go watch a playthrough. Just so you can get a sense of one of the most unique experiences in fangames.

This is perhaps the hardest review I've had to write out of almost 150 fangames reviewed so far. I legitimately do not know what to say about this game. I don't know if I can recommend it, heck I don't even know if I actually had fun.
Now, that's kind of hyperbole. It took me most of the game to crystalize my thoughts, but by the time of writing this review I can say that I enjoyed this game. It's a one of a kind experience, that's for sure. I love fangames that try new things, and get weird with it, and I Want is the epitome of that. Not everything works out well, and some sections are particularly uncomfortable to play, but every area at least had me respecting the idea, and the balls to publish it. I could nitpick and talk about every little thing I loved, and everything I disliked, but I think that would be doing a disservice to the game. So I'm just going to tell you to play it, and enjoy the surprises. This isn't for everyone, not by a long shot, but I think you should at least watch a video of this. It's a one of a kind fangame, and an experience that I think everyone here should have, for better or for worse.
Also, visual challenge needle based.
