Pattern avoidance which somehow I had fun with. Some attacks feel unfinished and funny, for example the final. Also some attacks are way too precise than others. Still, blind playing this was kind of special experience lol.

Lesbian Burnmind is another wonderful adventure game from Jane_Chef. This game deviates from the constant humor of Chungo (although it still has plenty of jokes), instead focusing on creating a symbolic and emotional journey. It joins the ranks fangames that aspire to be more than just a game, but rather a piece of art meant to evoke emotion in the player. It does a wonderful job of melding form and function, creating something that was as fun to play as it was interesting to think about. The gimmicks and bosses are a blast, featuring some really unique stuff, like an awesome run n' gun section. I hadn't expected to beat this game in a single sitting, but in the end I just couldn't put it down and played it front to back.
As a queer person, the story and themes of this game are really meaningful to me. There were several parts that hit like a gut punch, feeling like they were drawn from my own life. Even the parts that deviated from my experience still felt relatable and important to me. The game conveys its themes incredibly, and I found myself fully invested in the journey of this kid who was so much a mirror of my younger self.
Overall, an incredible piece of art, and beyond that just an incredible game. Even if you're not one for symbolism and such, the game is still an easy recommendation since it's just a blast. Easily one of the most memorable fangames to me, I can tell it's one I'll be thinking of years in the future. Someday, when my fangaming days are behind me, this is the kind of game I will remember. Someone pouring their heart into a game meant for a small group of people, saying "fuck you" to the rules, and creating something beautiful as a result.

This one had potential, it's set up like a cool adventure game, has different stages with neat gimmicks, I liked that part, but there's too many issues that really set it back in my eyes. Many of the save points are floating above ground which annoyed me to no end. There's way too many "screw you" traps near the end of saves for my taste. The bosses were pretty cool except for the last ones, a lot of it came down to the first part of the fight was easy then the hard stuff is crammed in at the end and it got boring after a while. Then the final phase of the final boss has such an inexplicably long startup time, you have to shoot an object that slowly fades in, then the boss will fade in, then the title card will tell you the name of the boss you've been fighting for the past half hour, then you can finally start playing. After enough annoyance with that I ended up giving up. It would've been a pretty standard boss without the long intro, but it was just painful dying knowing the next 30 seconds of my life would be just waiting for the chance to try again.
There's secrets as well, I didn't go for them but I watched them, they look okay too, some get pretty spicy.
Don't let my review sway you away from at least trying it, there is some good stuff here, but it just hit wrong for me.

This is a perfect fan game for Aiwana!
It was very challenging with a good difficulty level for intermediate players like me, not too difficult but with a lot of placement and gimmicks that require a lot of technique.
I also liked the story and design, very interesting work!
This game is very interesting and I have played it many times!
One of the stacks I have discovered is that if you shoot the save point on the floor that melts the ice from the air, ice forms at the respawn point and you can't move!
(This only happens if you save for the first time from the previous floor)

I appreciate this game was made in Scratch and it did a decent job at that. However, I think some of the sections felt poorly designed due to the Scratch limitations. I will say the traps can be funny when creative and the dialogue for the bosses made me laugh thanks to the text-to-speech.
The final area is also pretty bad as It makes you do some areas again without save points and with no other changes to them.
I can't really dislike this game for being in Scratch, but it still could a bit more thought put into it.

A wonderful yet heavily flawed fangame that's truly one of a kind. I'd recommend it to those who can handle The Sublime.

Очень приятный нидл с классной музыкой. Есть интересные прыжки, но это как раз таки очень сомнительные места в плане кривой сложности, т.к. именно на них средний игрок может под застрять.

Authors who make fangames with "artistic atmosphere" tend to increase the difficulty of their fangames. Because high difficulty can effectively block people who do not like games that require expensive learning costs. "artistic atmosphere" and high learning costs are almost bound together. Someone can temporarily ignore learning costs for the sake of the atmosphere, but others are more concerned about high learning costs, Specifically, the annoying trigger(trap), gimmick, longsave, VisualChalleng and other things behind artistic atmosphere. These authors are afraid of others pointing out what actually makes people unhappy to play with.
But this game is based on artistic, with some areas where the experience is not good, yet it dares to make the difficulty so low. I admire such an author and fangame very much.
----------------
This game has excellent visual overall Except for the last stage.
1st stage is cool, gimmick is interesting.
2nd stage is ok, some trap but easy.
3rd stage is easiest and best in the game, level, tiles and background together create a great atmosphere.
4th stage is ok, a generic long save with some moving spikes.
5th stage is ok, low gravity easy needle.
6th stage is annoying, VisualChallenge can block vision, last 2 save are just boring high learning costs tricks and ruin the enjoyments.
ED is brilliant and refreshing, well-made.
Anyway, it's a very solid gimmick needle game with excellent visual.
