Patch 1.11 : https://www.mediafire.com/file/25exqmwuxzi8w1e/I_wanna_Eclipse_ver_1.11.zip/file
more framerate issues fixed since 1.1
Things to note:
make sure you don't just copy the exe since there's more stuff in the music folder (doesn't apply if you're just going from 1.1 to 1.11)
A boss intro is now skippable once beaten
Another boss intro can be shortened with S and the intro attack is now a bit less annoying hopefully
Final boss changes (not exactly nerfed, but hopefully less unfair)
Framerate should not drop anymore
other minor changes
I'm leaving the 1.02 link up if you prefer the old version of bosses (and if this is somehow broken)

3.5 years worth of work and I'm really impressed that someone had the patience to work for such a long time.
That said let's talk about the game. Eclipse is one of the most beautiful game I have played, with neat hand-drawn tiles and background. Same goes for sprites, bosses and your character are beautiful and have some insanly fluent animations.
But yeah as you see, I rate it "only" 9 because the gameplay is more a mixed bag. I mean, I love snowy mountain area for exemple but I found submarin stage a bit borring, with a gimmick that I didn't like. I feel that for one thing I loved, there is another thing I like less. Also, the fact that you need to seek for required secrets bothered me a bit because you sometimes have to replay an entire area to get them (and also the concept of a required secret is really weird). For bosses, they are mostly good but first, a lot of them have a small unskippable cutscene. And second, most of them are good but not excellent, nor very memorable (except maybe Him).
There are also some traps, and I didn't like them, I feel they don't add anything to the game.
And last, the game is very buggy. I encountered many bugs, only a few were really annoying but it bothered me a bit.
(also if your computer is a toaster, the game will lag a lot)
In conclusion, the game is of course great, I just don't consider it as a masterpiece as a lot of people do.

Adventure game which is decently sizeable and a good amount of variety. It's certainly a spectacle to look at but there's a few things which I had issues with. The traps felt kinda out of place, I think the game would flow better without them, and some of the platforming (especially in the earlier parts) isn't very noteworthy in my opinion. There were two major blemishes towards the end, the Robot boss was sorta obnoxious and tedious, and the platforming stage after annoyed me a lot, I'm not even sure why I just really hated it. Despite those things, the rest of the game has cool satisfying platforming, bosses which really feel like impactful boss fights in their scope, and a great conclusion. Absolutely play it if you haven't!

First off, the game looks great and is almost all original art. Huge props to that. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't quite live up to that. The platforming has some cool gimmicks and several fun parts, but a lot of annoyance and really bad traps. The beginning of the game is quite fun, but the middle section, starting at the mountain, starts to feel pretty unpleasant. The bosses feel really cool, but are mostly annoying to play. The big offenders are the wizard and the robot, both of which felt very unfun. Fort Ferdinand is the best platforming in the game, making true end feel like a major step up. The final boss is alright, but still suffers from some awkward attacks. Also, both the robot and final boss would benefit greatly from checkpoints. Overall, the game is worth playing, but expect some serious rough patches.

I think this is one of the most well-produced adventure fangames visually if not the most so. Every aspect of this game is literally stunning and serves as a showcase of what someone can achieve with custom visuals they spend dozens (probably hundreds) of hours working on. And it all comes together pretty nicely, making a very solid game indeed, but I do take issues with some of the actual gameplay segments that I felt necessary to mention in case they can help with future works.
First, the whole secret thing is cool, but only when they aren't required for the real ending of the game. At least in my playthrough, nothing really seemed to hint which stage you can find which item in once you unlock the teleport (unless I missed a hint), so it did come down to using a video to find them. I wish there was more of a tell to this item hunt, similar to NANG's glitched text on screens with secrets because otherwise, it makes getting True End quite a slog. That's also important to me because I felt as if True End was the best part of the game platforming-wise. Few other complaints come from many of the stages feeling almost too "similar" to each other, there are so many crushers and spike blocks and spinning pinwheels that make the saves kind of just do the same thing. There are also pretty weird segments using the gimmicks, and the V6 one was particularly unsavory to use almost entirely.
Despite those issues, the game still won me over. The final stage is truly what won me over though, I was not a zoom-in fan throughout the game until this area and it completely sold me on it. It's probably one of the best platforming stages I've done in a fangame. I can't even imagine the amount of effort put in to make this game as beautiful as it is, but man it must be more than what I gave in college. It's definitely elegant enough to showcase as a flagship title for incoming Fangamers interested in some great games.
Highly recommend it, well done Gwiz.
