For: I wanna be the Fangame!
Fangame is one of the oldest Adventure games that exists, and I think it definitely shows that in the actual game play of it, most of which I found to be rather unjoyable.
I'll start by saying the route with the Pokémon stage was the best part of the game, that in itself is basically the first real trap stage and sets a good precedence for the future. Following this is a Pokémon fight style boss which also leads to incredible bosses in fangame history, but it's also where the game takes a turn for the worst. After you beat Mew, the fight then ends with a pokeball you have a time limit to kill by mashing, this is probably one of the most egregious things you can have at the end of a five phase boss.
After this stage, everything else starts to turn into an immediate train wreck. You've got so many copius segments that feel annoying as hell to play, such as two different saves with vanishing pattern blocks and one with a moving snake thing; these have got to be my least favorite tropes in all of platforming history. The water in this game is one of the most awkward things I've ever had to play in, the Doom boss was terrible to play unless you use auto fire, Glados homing missiles were extremely obnoxious, there's a chase with fake paths and blocks in it, the bat save was one of the most annoying things I've ever played; I'll stop here but it's definitely a longer list than this of stuff I greatly disliked.
Overall, I can't say I actually recommend this game since it includes almost every single thing you can put to make me dislike one. It's still an important piece of history though so I will say the game is still very playable.

little needle game with a lot of charm. and its a first work, great work
Edit:
took another attempt at it, withdrawing my initial score of 9.5/10
up til the third stage, there was some different design, which was quite interesting
but when I got to the fourth stage, something happened. the balance was shattered in a mere instant. comparing the design of the saves before and after was like comparing water and oil.
and i say this as someone who is quite a lenient ratist. but since this is the creator's maiden work, ill give it some leeway. the game still stuck with me

One of my favourite avoidances, the RNG is a bit unfair at times but I really don't care because it's just such a fun time.

neat little beginner accessible game. the layouts have variety
Edit: after reaching the clear screen, i dont think I can give this game an 8.0 anymore. the first couple of stages do a good job changing up the pacing and remaining beginner-friendly.
but it stops once you hit the 4th stage. at this point, the balance is broken. but despite that, theres still some fun to be had. and it is the authors first work, so noones asking for too much
