Probably the last update I'll make for this review.
Extremely old fangame and the first actual medley game. It's clear that the 'production value' is heavily lacking: Visuals aren't very impressive for the most part, lacks the title cards that would be introduced to the fangame world later on, and there are plenty of small bugs and glitches here and there. Restarting music doesn't help either.
On the other hand, this game's strong points are marked very clearly as well. The difficulty curve is close to flawless. The game starts with a tutorial stage, consisting of easy screens that allow the player to get used to the game, and gradually goes up and up, in a way that allows even a complete beginner to take it on, and before you can notice it, you're making your way through relatively advanced jumps and tricky bosses.
The visuals might not be the greatest, but they hit spot-on at the bosses. The background shows bits of the previous screens in the stage, in a way that actually looks good. The bosses themselves are mostly good as well. They don't waste your time with long, repetitive attacks, every second means a new attack. The fights are really fast-paced, but still challenging. Solgryn's first phase is the only exception I can think of, I think that the game could do very well if the Sadist Bee and GR's last boss were to appear at another point of the fight. Speaking of Solgryn, it's also weird that from the second phase to the last phase, he's the only guy to appear in the whole fight. It's not a bad fight, but it feels off, compared to the other fights so far.
Kamilia is a particularly brilliant fight, and probably one of my favorite fangame bosses. First off, she's a Kid-like character. She really feels like a Kid who finally achieved supreme power (Enough to warp space and time, as it's seen through the whole game). Very impressive. The fight lives up to the concept: In the first phase, she'll teleport you through the previous stages while using the powers from the previous bosses. When she realizes that the old attacks aren't working, she'll use her own powers, and summon all the sorts of obstacles in order to kill you. Finally, at the second phase, you'll be fighting against her while falling, and she'll once again make huge efforts to kill you, but in the end neither of you will actually be able to kill your opponent. It's also interesting that your bullets don't work against her, which proves that your Kid is still too weak to defeat her. That's what made room for K2 and K3 to be made, I guess.
I feel like a remake would be very healthy to this game, as most of its issues regard visual stuff and glitches. The stages are well designed and the bosses are enjoyable. I like it, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to get into fangames.

This game was made by a completely different person than Kamilia 2 and 3. You can clearly see the production value of the later games far exceed that of this game. Not only does this game suffer from bad visuals, but the bosses are horrendous. The attempt at combining bosses into a medley style failed horribly and ended up with the boring, generic boss fights. Some of the screen picks make no sense and lead me to believe they were picked so the creator could experiment with the bosses. But wait there's more! The music does not restart when you press "R", but it does when you die! Restarting music is not a problem for me, but half restarting music is worse. Some sections of this game require you to use the Gradius plane, which is fine except when you survive the 50 seconds of the Geezer fight only to have the plane miss the Kid, forcing you to restart the 50 seconds of survival. Its okay though, this game has mid boss checkpoints that disappear when you restart the game. Kamilia 1 is a very poorly made game which was eventually changed and edited to create Kamilia 2. Kamilia 2 was the only good thing to ever come out of this game. Oh yeah and no one would care about this game if it didn't say "Kamilia".
If you manage to suffer through this game to the end, I applaud you.

I do not see why everybody hates this game. It was the first medley game and it is good for being made quickly. If you don't mind some strange screens, then I would suggest you play it.

My first cleared medley game, which I found very fun.
It have 6 stages and 6 main bosses. Difficulty is raising up with stage forward. 1-4 stage have 10 needle screens, but 5th one have 5 screens.First 3 bosses are mix from different bosses, without main one. Fourth boss is geezer, fifth one is solgryn , but last one is kamilia.
Needle sometimes have fun gimmicks, but sometimes just ugly looking needle. The main problem in needle stages is restarting music, which annoyed me every time,espicially in stage 5.
First three bosses were fun, but nothing special to remember.
Geezer was very fun, and I liked idea of its gameplay, espicially gradius phase, but music just doesn't really fit here.
Solgryn have many phases, but I very liked each of it and had fun to play it. Only problem is that it doesn't look very well, but it doesn't made boss bad for me.
Kamilia is definitely the best boss in the game, which have 2 very interesting and well-made phases. They aren't very hard and long , but is very fun to play.
Game has its problems too, but the main is restarting music, some unoriginal needle screen and boss choose, very low production value most of time , not working auto-saves, no saveblocker and etc.
But even all that doesn't make me feel frustrated! I really had fun, and I recommend to play this game for sure, because it is something special, it isn't too hard and it will grow skill for beginners too!
