Rating a game like this feels perverse. As if it needs a rating. As if saying "10.0" is a meaningful statement to make. It's almost insulting -- that I think my opinion on a game by fucking tijit is worth reading.
Regardless, this game is -- to risk a cliche -- fresh but familiar. Dare I say that it reinvents what a fangame is? Not in some crazy, look-at-me, experimental way. But in a deep, subtle way. It's Fangame if Fangame was made in 2024. What a dumb statement! But it's true...
I can't think of another fangame which is actually aimed at newcomers and isn't just a 60 diff needle game. I can't think of another fangame which goes back to basics of old adventure fangame feel, while retaining all of the polish and 'accessibility' of post-Celeste precision platformers. f:U sits alone in rethinking fundamental questions about what a fangame should look like.

I really don't think I can say anything that derf hasn't said, but that doesn't mean I wont ramble about how actually great of an experience this is. (I wont, just read derfs)

Disappointing to see games being released unfinished, it makes you feel like it will never get completed.
It's a high-variety adventure game with many unique mechanics. It has a 3-life system that makes the game accessible to less skilled players.
I liked it a lot. Games like this are almost extinct these days. The most memorable part to me was a boss fight vs Zombie & Mummy dragon.
There are a few things I didn't like, tough. The shop system, more specifically a mechanic of earning money by shooting the same moving mobs again and again. That felt very monotonous, maybe could use a rework. Game also could use a world map for discovered areas, would be a HUGE quality of life feature. I found myself lost at least 4 times during the playthrough. The "meme" parts of the game felt very out of place and slightly spoiled the mood for me (like funny dog picture during the medley boss and gangster rap, or whatever it was, in GunDude area). Of course it didn't really affect the overall enjoyment, just felt very out of place compared to the rest "Retro" style of the game.
I definitely recommend this one to fans of the old school adventure fangames. In comparison to all of the recent releases this is a real gem.

[ENG]I'm still working through it, but it's so much fun!
The quality has been amazing from the very beginning... (impressed)
The bosses are so difficult that you can only play in adventure mode, but it's fun!
Also, the autosave after each boss phase is very helpful!
[JPN]まだ攻略中ですがとても楽しいです!
クオリティが最初から凄い...(感動)
ボスが難しすぎてアドベンチャーモードでしかできませんが、楽しいです!
あと、ボスのフェーズごとにオートセーブはとても助かります!
