For: I wanna be the Boshy
For: I wanna be the Boshy
Rating based for 100% on Hard-On difficulty.
I Wanna Be the Boshy is one of the most famous fangames ever made. The reason for its success is high media coverage, with the game being showcased in various speedrunning events, such as SGDQ and even AGDQ, to the point where people don't actually see it as an I Wanna Be the Guy fangame but a whole and unique video game. It's a pleasure to see that some fangames manage to go beyond the fangame community, and I would probably have never heard of them if it weren't for Boshy's popularity.
But paradoxically, the fact that it doesn't follow the common fangame formula turned it into a less enjoyable experience. My main complaint goes towards its engine. It's a handmade engine created by Solgryn himself, and there's no doubt that a lot of time and dedication were involved in making it, but it is honestly really janky. There are a lot of subpixel inconsistencies, and most of the hitboxes are way bigger than they should be. That's not a huge issue, and you'll most likely get used to it with time, but for a fangamer, it can be really frustrating. Along with that, the difficulty balance is kinda weird; some segments are significantly harder, like the eye trap in the Castlevania stage or the first jump of Random World's underground section. I genuinely think Solgryn tried these jumps one time, got lucky and first tried them, then thought they were easy enough, or at least that's the impression it gave me.
I'll still give this game a great rating for what it is and the positive impact it has had on fangames. There has definitely been a lot of work put into this game. The production value is immeasurable, and most of the game references and traps are ingenious. Moreover, the character selection is a nice idea that contributes a lot to the game's identity. It is a great pick if it's your first fangame, and you have experience with hard games in general, but if you're a fangamer, be aware of having to go out of your comfort zone.

For: I wanna go the Parallel World
For: I wanna go the Parallel World
I have mixed opinions about this game.
It starts off with an impressive production value, which will, by the way, never worsen. The game is located in the same area where I Wanna Be the Guy takes place, but everything is in white and black, creating a bland atmosphere that gives a feeling of nostalgia. This area is the hub that will lead you to the different paintings that, similar to Super Mario 64, work as warps that can send you to different locations.
The first place you'll visit is the Minecraft world. It's pretty easy and offers a good variety of traps along with an in-game inventory gimmick. This stage is very short, and I don't have much to say about it. The boss was also alright, and having to use the mouse while avoiding is a great challenge.
After this stage, you get warped back to the Guy section, on your way to the next world, which is a Mario Kart area. This stage is way more interesting than the previous one and has plenty of unique ideas, with different items coming from the item boxes with their own effects and ways to avoid them. While I really like this world, I found the timer to be too tight, as it could have benefited from a longer time limit.
Afterwards, you'll face the Super Mario 64 World. This stage is definitely at the peak of the game's production value and incorporates a triple jump gimmick that goes surprisingly well with the fangame's physics engine. It is composed of two areas, a plain one and a water one, and they both were very enjoyable. The world has two bosses that use the triple jump gimmick in an interesting way, although they both had pretty similar designs.
The next stage is the Pokemon world. A trap-heavy area that is overall quite fun. My main complaint would be the bosses, which require you to take huge risks in order to damage them, with really punitive attacks. You can play them safe, but it will take you a lot of time if you do so.
After an I Wanna Be the Guy Shoot 'em Up segment that is really fun to go through, we just reached the midway point of the game, but the game's quality unfortunately drops from this point. The world you will get sent to is a Fangames world, featuring different screens from old classics, with modifications put into them. This is the worst area in the game. The reason for that is a world full of bland traps without any taste, with every gimmick integrated into the stages in the worst way possible, the Gameboy area being the most annoying one of them all. The area took screens that aren't enjoyable at all, such as the weird water physics screen from Fangame, or the famous GB screen, but with traps and unfair enemies that should not exist. My only compliment is that the final boss is a fun meme, and the only thing that's worth it in this world.
After this honestly horrendous stage, you will be rewarded with an actually quite fun Dark Souls stage, with a speed gimmick that complements the insane length of the saves. What I, however, didn't like a lot about this world is the complexity of the saves and the abundance of enemies. While it's a really good stage, it's also the hardest in my opinion and could cause troubles for less experienced players.
The final world is a Final Fantasy IX tribute. As a final stage, it is sadly quite anticlimactic. Indeed, this is the most forgettable area of the game, with few to none gimmicks and repetitive screens. You are welcomed with a fun minigame boss, but afterwards, the stage becomes boring and uncreative. It's also one of the rare worlds that don't have a final boss, so it ends pretty abruptly without much context.
At the end of this long adventure, you'll get to the top of the Guy tower and meet the final challenge, which is the Guy in person. It's an amazing boss and a great conclusion for such a long game, that, while having its ups and downs, is still an incredible fangame I would definitely recommend to anyone.

For: I wanna be Assaulted
For: I wanna be Assaulted
Assaulted was without any doubt a pretty good fangame for its time. However, I don't think this game aged well, and while I didn't like it a lot, but it could have been an amazing experience if it had slightly better execution.
The needle is filled with traps that, while being interesting, are often put in places I found annoying, such as the end of a save. Even though the traps in the orbit area are for the most part enjoyable, and gave me a smile, I must emphasize that nowadays, the punishment rooms are, in my opinion, not fun anymore, with their only purpose being to make you angry.
The stages themselves, if you exclude the traps, have neat ideas, and I honestly like them a lot, but I think most of the gimmicks could have been explored more, and the areas aren't long enough, making them somewhat forgettable.
As for the bosses, I appreciate the Cirno boss's concept, but the two avoidance fights seem to be focused on having good visuals rather than being fun. Most of them have you waiting a great amount of time until the next challenging pattern. Waiting patterns are unfortunately a pretty common issue with old fangames, and while I don't mind about having to learn patterns, having to stand still is, however, very unfun.
Wouldn't recomment unless you're really fond of pattern bosses.

For: I wanna be the Agent
For: I wanna be the Agent
Rating includes Extra.
Agent has everything that could possibly annoy me: It's known for being a never-ending fangame with traps everywhere, and poor stages that don't follow a coherent path and often lack in originality. So when I decided to play it, I wasn't expecting much. But surprisingly, this game surprised me, to say the least.
Yes, this fangame has flaws. スラ has a habit of putting traps in any place possible, to the point of becoming unappealing for most people. The game could also be shorter, and some stages can give a feeling of déjà vu near the end.
However, I must emphasize that it doesn't only have negative points, but also a bunch of awesome ideas that manage to compensate for the bad aspects I highlighted. By playing this game, you are guaranteed to get a unique experience. It is a very special fangame that, while not being much innovative, has the merit of having production value you won't see often. It also offers some undeniably fun trials such as the geometry dash one or the funfair minigame. Moreover, the final boss seems to be where most of the time investment has been spent and is one of my favorite avoidances ever. The game also has extra. It's mostly enjoyable, with an interesting moving boss with learny attacks as a reward for completing it, and I would recommend it if it weren't for the secrets, being both hard to find and unfun.
Agent is a fangame that is really worth playing if you are open-minded enough as far as traps are concerned and don't care about not beating a game in its entirety. I'd suggest you only play the bare minimum amount of stages required and select them based on your preferences.

For: I wanna be the Mascarpone
This game... Exists. I appreciate the time and effort the maker put into his work, but unfortunately, this is a very forgettable experience. The stages all have a specific gimmick or theme, but none of them felt entertaining, despite being quite lengthy without too many repetitions in the level design. I also found most of the traps pointless and annoying, with them often being placed at the end of a save. The final boss could have been enjoyable if it wasn't for the ridiculous length of its HP bar, making it last way longer than it should.
I can understand why some people would have fun playing this fangame, but I would personally not recommend it.
