Be Myself is a very well produced game, full of gimmicks, varied stages, mind-bending plot twists and even a lesson or two about friendship. My enjoyment varied quite frequently due to the general level and boss design not always being my kinda thing, but I can appreciate the game for what it is and can definitely say it's a memorable fangame experience.
The game's primary gimmick of sorts features you being able to swap between a small selection of characters, each with their own powers and drawbacks. The variation between these characters is pretty cool, and the stages are usually designed in a way that requires you to switch on the fly which makes the platforming feel quite fast-paced. Bosses are done similarly, making use of attacks that force you to think fast and make use of your little squad of scallywags.
I felt like the game design in general got better for me towards the end, particularly in the boss fights. Some of the earlier bosses felt quite tedious and drawn-out for me and ended up feeling like they could've done with a lot less HP. The last few in the game though I loved and thought were very intense, making good use of the character switching. I also enjoyed the general platforming more in the later stages, as some early parts (particularly chapter 2) just didn't feel all that fun to play. I think this is mainly just a personal preference though.
I wasn't crazy about a good portion of the design in the game, but I could still appreciate it a great deal. The ambitious story and the wide variety of content including puzzles and bonus challenges make for a memorable time, and I really do wish I enjoyed it more than I did. Maybe if the game ever gets finished, SirRouven will polish up the game's weak spots and round off the game to a great state. Even still, it's well worth a play as it is.

When I was a freshman, I was inspired to play when I saw a Korean YouTuber broadcast the game. The YouTuber said it wasn't fun, but on the contrary, I cleared it all in a fun and not boring way based on version 1.7. This game is very difficult to play against the boss. Be careful when you play.

Last chapter one boss is shit, I don't want to continue, many big shadow R bosses above you, and boss will shoot target you big arc or ice shuriken, that is definitely sucks
Although this is a 2012 fangame, it's not reasonable to make such an unreasonable attack
