A fabulous extension of Kurath's MiniMetroidvania series in I Wanna Maker. This one features fully-fledged gimmicks that make for some pretty interesting platforming segments, as well as unique boss fights that often implement the use of your new powers to defeat them. I had a great time exploring this mini world, and while the overarching puzzle had one moment where I felt a bit frustrated, it makes sense in the end. The ending was satisfying too, and while there isn't any lore that explains who the bad guy is, I like to imagine that they are the time lord who are responsible for the kid's loss of powers. Good art leaves room for interpretation after all.

Amazing short-ish fangame. A little puzzle game where the goal is to die. I found the game to have a great sense of humor and overall I just had a wonderful time. I would recommend this to anyone.

Fun cycle based needle game, as a continuation and expanded version of what VoraciousReader is well known for in IWM. A lot of these do feel like IWM levels in a package (partially due to the visuals) but with a coherence due to the similar styles per stage. I appreciate the frequent changeups and despite the focus on a singular concept, some custom gimmicks and distinct styles in the stage give them all their own identity. The ending felt a little abrupt, but it was fun nonetheless. Overall, as easier enjoyable cycle needle at a comfortable difficulty level in a genre that tends to lean hard and learny to the point of being unenjoyable to me, this is a very welcome difference and a recommended game for anyone who would be looking for similar.

Very cool game with a pretty unique platforming/needle involving cycles that's explored in varied ways throughout the game. As someone that has played a good amount of maker the visuals felt a bit too "familiar", but the game still looked quite nice anyway, and I liked the song picks.
Something I noticed while playing the game is that the longer a save took, the less fun I had because I would start memorizing movements instead of reacting to the cycles. Thankfully that was only a problem in a small number of segments and the game avoided the trap that many cycle segments in fangames suffer, where you are not even paying attention to the movement of the killers.
I'm happy to see voraciousreader bringing some of his unique design from maker to it's own fangame, resulting in a game with platforming that doesn't feel quite like any other, and I'm curious and excited to see what else he can come up with in the future.
