This was my first game made with yuuutu engine. tried to make it beginner-friendly for normal, and chaos mode is for someone who wants more(I was greedy about chaos' difficulty so it may have some less fun and more bs part)

Of the best beginner fangames out there with a nice difficulty curve.

As a new player, I think this is possibly one of the best games to start with. I found it a good challenge, an entertaining set of references that I could understand (no dependence on references to other fangames), one troll trap to remind you this is a Guy Game, but otherwise completely fair. That jump in the interim room before the final boss was kinda tricky to navigate, otherwise I'd give this the perfect 10/10

Octophobia absolutely deserves all the praise and recommendation that it gets. It is a wonderful showcase of a bunch of different stuff, and it feels like the perfect way to show beginners what fangames can be! It ranges from really cool bosses to the silly survival section, with each stage being a breath of fresh air.

Overall, an easy recommendation for everyone, not just beginners. Of course, the infamous Chaos mode is pretty messed up, but the easy more is an awesome experience that was one of the first fangames to show me how much potential they had.

A beginner's fangame, while extremely easy, manages to never get boring or lacking in content. I really like the idea of a game based on the phobia of the number 8 (which, by the way, is a true diagnosable phobia) and the inclusion of numerous references to this number. Each trial has an objective that you must accomplish. From your typical needle stage to a Pokémon battle, interspersed with a shooting mini-game, the game offers a lot of diversity, and no two stages are alike. Unfortunately, the game's major flaw isn't the stages themselves but rather how they are arranged. On one hand, the first half of the game is filled with platforming trials, while on the other hand, the second half consists of boss fights only. Because of this uneven stage progression, the game doesn't flow very well, and my progression felt interrupted due to the brutality of the second half.
