If someone new to fangames ever asks me what game to start with... I'll definitely tell them to play this one.

A stunning presentation for only a 1 month time frame for creation. The classic Mattin formula of an adventure game with exploration elements, wrapped in top tier production value, with a difficulty level that makes it accessible to a wide audience.

The game features a variety of power-ups, some of which are weapons that not only give the player options for fighting enemies, but are used to open up new paths for exploration. On top of this, there is an inventory system, secrets, and a shop. This game brings more to the table with a 30 day production window than many larger projects do that get lost into dev limbo for ages.

This game is another must-play for both players and especially game-makers as a lesson on what these games could be if the makers stop trying to make something that's really hard instead of something really fun.

Perfect example of a very fun game which is also not hard. Wish it was longer

Fairly short and inconsequential, but it has a certain charm to it and makes for a nice beginner adventure game, especially since it makes things pretty forgiving overall by giving the player HP. The bosses all kinda suck tbh, but they're not hard enough for it to matter so whatever.

Also, the download link listed on DelFruit is broken (and the name is actually incorrect too - it's "in shining armor," not "of shining armor"), so I don't know if this was officially released yet or not... I found a download from elsewhere.

What a great game this is. Made in just one month too, this is essentially a little adventure that takes your gun away and replaces it with a variety of mostly melee weapons. A lot of the sprites are taken from 'Maple Story' which gives a cute little vibe to the whole affair. The change in weaponry opens up a lot of fun opportunities to play with the tropes and expectations from fangames.

It's clear that the game didn't have enough time to get completed to the extent that MattinJ intended, with for instance a boss that is already defeated by the time you arrive , but for what it is this an excellent little game that pushes the genre in exciting directions. A must play.
