A medium length adventure game designed to blend metroidvania style gameplay with some quirky interludes. As those familiar with me will come to expect, there are a fair few thinky elements, so be prepared.
Current ver1.07 - fixing some post release bugs due to my own negligence.
I'd also like to think I've eliminated softlock potential, but if you do encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me on discord at Kurath#6671.

Minimetroidvania 4 is, as its name suggests, a small metroidvania fangame. As other reviews have pointed out, despite the map size being small, there is a lot of content here. There are quite a lot of abilities which are all unique instead of your typical triple jump. For each ability there is a trial testing your skills on a unique gimmick. These trials are gameplay wise some of the most memorable parts of the game. I especially loved the cursor water trial, the rocket trial, and the split trial.
My biggest issue with the game is the infamous clock puzzle. You can read Canus’ review to see why it has a big problem. Unfortunately I was quite frustrated with it so everything after it felt less enjoyable than everything before it. Thankfully there wasn’t much left after it. I also didn’t really enjoy the bosses that much. Most of them were okay, but some of them were annoying.
Overall this game is really fun if you can get past some issues, and even though the map is small, every room was made for a good reason, and there’s no fillers in this game.

MiniMetroidvania 4 is the fourth entry in Kurath's mini metroidvania series, with the other three being all in I Wanna Maker, meaning this one had the potential to stray from the constraints of Maker and get a little weirder, something which is always daunting knowing Kurath's other games.
As the name would imply, it follows a very traditional formula. You'll start with very little and gradually unlock more abilities and powerups as you explore the mini world that's presented to you. There's a nice handful of weird gimmicks that all feel surprisingly fun (my personal standout being Reveal Spoiler). The bosses are all fun too and utilise gimmicks from their respective areas, making it feel that bit more cohesive and tied together.
The visuals and music complemented each other nicely. A good handful of the tilesets seemed to be taken from Ocean Princess so maybe there's some deep lore or worldbuilding to be investigated here. If I had one complaint regarding any of these things, it would be that the music loop cut in the final stage is really noticeable and abrupt. I usually don't care about this too much, but my bias for enjoying the final stage song as much as I do probably drove this deeper that it would've otherwise been.
The game can often get pretty puzzly too. I found some saves near the end regarding some of the weirder gimmicks to be particularly challenging, just in terms of getting to grips with handling the gimmick and figuring out what I'm doing. I wouldn't say it ever got too frustrating though, but it's definitely a game that's gonna challenge you in different ways, and some of those ways will inevitably hit some sore spots for people.
Overall it's a great metroidvania fangame with very clean platforming and boss design, and a surplus of variety to make the road stay fresh. So long as you're ready to be challenged in some potentially weird and unusual ways amidst the normal platforming design style, you'll probably have a good time with this.

Fantastic game, lots of variety, multiple paths possible, incredible gimmicks. Must play if you are interested in metroidvanias. It has a couple gimmicks that personally got on my nerves, but that is the nature of a project with such variety. Impressive as always from kurath.
