Probably the minority here, but I have no idea why everyone seems to like this game so much. The platforming is very middle-of-the-road, and the bosses are an absolute slog to play through. Secrets being disabled on Medium makes no sense either.

Another short and enjoyable gimmick needle game from roubaozi. Does a few things in pretty cool ways but otherwise nothing wild.

Wannafest22 is what I believe is the most important release of 2022, even aside from the actual quality of the game it is by far the most technologically advanced production that pushes Gamemaker to a limit other fangames rarely try. I would not view this as a game that sets a higher standard and expect others to follow suit, an incredibly upper level of coding knowledge was necessary to make this that many others will never obtain, but I do think this stands as an artifact showing the furthest potential this community has to offer. This also stands as another strong example of how traditional Fangame gameplay is not required to make one good, instead only passion, creativity, and a focus on player enjoyment.
Wannafest at its core is a spectacle, in fact, I equate experiencing this game for the first time to something like Outer Wilds or The Beginner's Guide. The entire act of playing was an immense attack on the sensations of the player, always bringing about surprises and making you question what else could happen next. Just when you think the game has played its biggest playing card, you'll sit there and watch as Cherry Treehouse reveals it has an entirely new deck to use. Every instance of the game is prepared with special care, from the title screen to the pause button, music to visuals, cutscenes and credits, this is very much a passion project that could rival the intensity of any professional game. And while walking out I realize that I will never be able to experience it blind again, the gameplay is still made to encourage consecutive replays should you wish through the usage of achievements and additional modes.
Each stage brings about a new game for the player to discover, I would wager at least half of them you have probably never played. This creates an interesting situation in which not only did I appreciate the stages for what they are, they actually convinced me to play the games they reference. Now here's an important aspect as well, these are some of the most faithful "video game" stages in a Fangame you can find. They will absolutely woo the player with how specifically in tune they are with the original source, once again due to how this game barely has any traditional fangame gameplay at all. It is understandable that this fact may turn off fangame purists who play these specifically for the standard physics and style, but for those who enjoy these purely because they just want an enjoyable game, this is the Casterly Rock of Delfruit.
After playing this, I think the final truth that I can say about this game is that it's probably the easiest 10 rating I have ever given on the site. There is no hesitation in my mind when writing this that it was one of the most enjoyable times I have ever had in the community, and I hope others have the same feelings as I do in the future about this. This is truly a masterpiece that excels beyond what anyone expected and holds the highest recommendation I could possibly give.
