Good decent game, with good music, simple design, maybe the bad are the physical but is because the game is old.

Impossible to hate completely! It even has a story, and the opening had me rolling.
The most notorious effort from superstarjonesbros (among only 2), this is a beginner-friendly insane adventure that spits any possible original retro (and some new mobile) videogame reference the maker could possibly think of to you with full passion and parodic self-awareness. The variety packs the game with unpredictability, actually too much: it goes to the extent of having almost every screen being single-themed (if not two or three screens), and then changing the layout entirely along with the soundtrack of a new videogame reference before you could start enjoying it.
The oversaturation might be overwhelming from a negative point of view for many, and maybe the creator felt this would keep the adventure frenetic and unexpected. It does, but also leaves you hungry for what you were just starting to experience. What other fangame gives you Kirby-shaped spikes??
However, it is a work of passion and full of personality: it uses humor without being incomprehensible or too niche-based like many of today’s meme fangames, it has details all over the place and the production value is committed, and the game over screen referencing Gene Wilder’s epic performance in the grandiose “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971) is more than welcome. As a trap game, it works competently, since they all work differently within the confines of each game referenced, so you won’t necessarily face the same troll move twice... Well, at least not identically-looking.
The toughest challenge, which makes me rate this in the 20s territory, is the extensive Boshy boss rush, which uses every single boss in the original, including Bomberman of course, as an endurance test. It is quite amusing and entertaining, but will be a notorious difficulty peak for many, and I do question not even adding a checkpoint halfway through. There is also a horrible boss right after the Castlevania screen save: Spoongod. Up to this day, I have no idea how to beat it. He throws garbage from the sky making siren and burp sounds, and briefly teleports to your height so you can shoot him (?). However, he’s below such a small fraction of time that it’s more a guessing game than a reaction one. Even jumping might pose a threat considering the RNG from above.
If only this game allowed you to enjoy every tileset, reference and theme more, it would be much better. However, I am surprised fangames kept looking the same after 2012 for so much time (and some still do today!). I will admit this is a guilty pleasure of mine: the engine does not pose so much trouble and has tremendous replay value.
Recommend this to anyone willing to begin with fangames and show the old-school charm that is lost today.

This review is based on a 100% clear
JungleKID is a really unique and fun game, it feels a bit closer to just a difficult indie precision platformer than a fangame, but that's not a bad thing. There's tons of charm oozing out this game with the cute art, visuals, animations, and enemies. The game primarily focuses on exploration, as you need to use various abilities to locate secrets. I'm not really one to love secret hunting, but I did enjoy searching the levels a lot, the game makes it not too tedious and it's pretty satisfying to find them all, since they all have good hints. There's so many fun ideas and it basically never gets stale. If you do get everything you can access extra, which ditches the secret hunting and tests your skills and knowledge of the games mechanics. This stage is tough but I thoroughly enjoyed it, one of the highlights of the experience for me. While at times this game can be very mildly annoying if you go for 100%, I think it's worth it for the more complete and fulfilling experience than you could get doing the regular clear. Amazing fangame, at least worth trying at some point in your fangame lifespan.

Don't let the poorly-drawn sprites fool you, this game is actually so much better than it looks. The levels are mostly based on fighting with enemies rather on the actual platforming. There's also a diverse weapons/skills system, which makes this game really unique. And it even gives some space for cheesing strats.
There are many dialogues in this game, but since everything's written in japanese, you're most likely to miss the major part of the plot if you're not a jp speaker. The plot is really long and I just wanted for it to end when there was like 60% of the game awaiting ahead. Since I enjoy more platforming-based fangames, this whole experience was rather a miss for me.
Nevertheless, it is a nice fangame. It's unique, it's original, it's mostly fun, chaotic but charming. I recommend to give it a shot.

Another astounding game in the genius trilogy. This one has more robust level design and more menacing bosses. There's even secret items to find! Do you have what it takes to be the genius 3? The fourth boss has an error, but you can ignore it to avoid a crash.
