For: I wanna be the Mario: The Prequel
The 5th game ever released on the Kayin forums back in the day, and while the game certainly shows its age it still was pretty interesting to go back to.
The game is a collectathon where you have to rescue Toads™ scattered across the worldmap. Though "rescue" is a word I use very loosely, as when you reenter the rooms they were located in, they reappear right where they were. The only feedback you get is a small Legened of Zelda™ riff and the music completely stopping, putting a sinister damper on the whole situation. Furthermore, when rescuing one of the Toads™ a spike wall appears, as if Toad is trying to stop Mario™ from kidnapping them. One of them even refuses to go with you, instead escaping up into the clouds. Maybe Mario™ was not as much of a good guy as we all thought, this game establishes his place as a antihero (or villain!) before the sequel, I Wanna be the Mario™, brings his redemption arc as a full-fledged hero.
The main gameplay innovation the design of this game brings to the Fangamesphere is the concept of the Literal Doublejump™. This mechanic prevents you from double jumping unless your airborne status has been achieved via means of a grounded jump, thus preventing jumping in the air after a walkoff and ensuring that every single time you double jump, you are actually double jumping.
While at first this might seem like pure jank it actually brings a lot of depth and precision to the gameplay, as you can't make a false move or you are going to plummet to your death without any means of saving yourself. The game masterfully plays with this idea by means of moving platforms that don't carry Mario™ with them, so you have to keep yourself balanced on them, and hiding solid blocks behind clouds, so every micromovement you make forwards could be your last.
And as this games final masterstroke, after "rescuing" all three Toads™ you are left only with the option to go left from the start screen. Quickly you find out a merciless gauntlet of traps and invisible triggers, the game throwing everything it has at you. Yet even if you manage to persevere you'll quickly find yourself stuck without anywhere else to go, which marks the games true ending. Mario™ is left unable to kidnap all the Toads™, left stranded in a hostile world, unable to have forged any meaningful connections. Maybe that is what caused the realizations that brought him to justice in Super Mario Bros™? Only scholars of this game can know.
All in all, it was a short but surprisingly interesting experience. If you can get your hands on this game, give it a good 5 minutes at least, it might give you something to think about.

Both a really fun and interesting game! A World of Seven Elements aims to be a mix of the fangame formula and Genshin Impact, with a fairly open world to explore, rpg elements and a huge focus on elemental damage and the interactions between them. Personally I haven't played Genshin yet this game easily kept my interest, so it definitely stands on its own.
The core gameplay loop is exploring around the map and either clear combat encounters or solving puzzles or small selfcontained challenges (like breaking all targets or defeating enemies in a given time). This is all built on top of a very solid system of elemental interactions that's both intuitive and a little chaotic, which keeps things fun! Stuff like soaking fire slimes so they don't explode on your face or melting ice slimes armor as to actually damage them are fun strats to pull off by themselves, and when presented with a swarm of enemies figuring out what to do while trying to survive is really engaging.
And luckily the game knows how to lean into this! There's plenty of encounters against multiple varied enemies and as part of the rpg system you can equip up to 4 skills, attacks with a cooldown, a large AoE that make crowd control reasonable and elemental typing to trigger specific elemental interactions. You quickly build up a good toolkit to play around and overworld combat is fun and bursty enough that encounters feel like their own little puzzle!
There's also some mechanics grabbed from Genshin that are very interesting to see in a fangame setting. For example you need to beat specific bosses to keep leveling up (avoiding the pitfall of feeling like you have to grind exp to keep up with the game) and there's mining nodes that replenish every irl day (though by exploring you get plenty for everything, it's still fun to see games playing with timed mechanics like this.)
Even though it's very clearly a first draft of the game there's still a big bunch of content to check out. Spent 3+ hours myself so far and there's still some secrets to look into, so definitely recomend playing this game now! A project I'll keep tabs in and wanna see how it ends up, best of luck to the maker. o7

Welcome to SHOOT! This experimental adventure game focuses on action and non-conventional movement through a small but deep arsenal of weapons.
This game was originally the Blind Adventure game for FASF2023, with plenty of polish and new content to bring it to a point where I'm really happy with it. While it is a direct sequel to BONK you do not need to have played that to enjoy it, so feel free to jump right into this game!

Inspiring game, despite how short it is it manages to fit so many ideas and great ambiences into a neat little package. Masterclass in conveying sensations through gimmicks and level design, consistently funny and interesting and a boss so good I use it as a reference point when trying to design boss encounters that feel like fights and are not just shooting at a thing. Super recommended if you are decent at fangames.

False advertizing, the game is actually a trap game! dun dun duuuuuun
A short, good and chill game! A couple of screens of real content but pretty dense with content. Saves are well placed, platforming is fun and funny, great presentation, and it's a fun 10 minute romp. Would recommend!
