For: I wanna be the Neon 3
For: I wanna be the Neon 3
What else is there to say about Neon 3? Let's list all the things that people love about this game:
Platforming - I mean come on, the very core of the game is naturally going to be an aspect that people love about the game. Nader's ability to create buttery-smooth saves is unmatched by almost anyone. Never does any one save get too difficult, never is there a small catch in any given set of jumps, never did I feel like I played even an ounce of a fifth of a filler save.
Music Choices - Nader always makes top class choices for his games, and this is certainly his best showing so far, musically.
Gimmicks - There's a mixture of both original and unoriginal gimmicks in Neon 3, but original or not, they're used masterfully either way. Perhaps my absolute favorite is the Transmutation stage. Nader implements a spin on the idea of changing from normal kid to dotkid, using retrievable objects that change you on pick-up. The way these objects were integrated into the gameplay felt so right, so absolutely natural, that it's a wonder it took anyone this long to hit upon such a brilliant concept.
Visuals - The Neon series has always been known best for its visuals; however, they were always fairly basic in this same department: cool, sleek, simplistic, and above all chill, but never did they deliver any sort of wow factor. Not so with Neon 3. Now, there's an additional level of luxury, an extra dollop of detail, just a little something to really make the visuals pop. The most visually impressive stage, however, and perhaps my favorite stage in all fangames, is the final stage. The way the colors change, the way they're synced to the music, the way it all culminates in this brilliant finale, it's just a thing of beauty that has to be seen to be believed.
Heart - This, I think, is the most important aspect of the game. I got into a conversation with Chatran about fangames yesterday, and something he brought up about what he wants most out of a game is to be able to see the heart in it, the life that makes the game more than just something to pass the time. Neon 3 has that heart, something that previous Neon games were in short supply of. Though they were great games, and you could still feel the passion within the design, they were missing just a little something. Neon 3 has that little something. The passion is in full showing, the care put into making everything feel perfect, the work put into making this game feel special, it's all palpable. The love and soul within this game makes it more than just your typical fangame, it is an all out journey, a promenade through the beauty of a brilliant creator's mind.
I need not say anything more.

For: I wanna be the Krypton
For: I wanna be the Krypton
What do you get when you put two brilliant makers together and have them make a game? You get a brilliant game!
I Wanna be the Krypton is a collaboration between infernoman1 (now Chatran, this was his last game as inf) and Thenadertwo, both highly competent makers, based on the Neon series of the latter creator. What you get is six rock-solid stages of needle, both of the typical and dot-kid variety, made up of thirty-six screens, all of which vary from great to superb. The game further breaks up into couplets, the first two stages being pure needle, the next two being dot-kid, and the final being a mixture of both. The last stage specifically is especially interesting due to combining both in a single screen for every screen. This leaves one feeling a bit curious about why the penultimate stage was not built in this way, but that's not a flaw in any way, merely interesting.
If I were to categorize these stages from best to worst, it would look something like this:
1st - 6th stage
???
???
???
???
6th - 1st stage
Ultimately, every stage aside from the 1st and 6th are totally consistent in quality, not even slightly dipping below the expected norm from both of these superb designers. The 6th stage places itself at the top due to a quite successful combination of dot-kid and normal kid. The 1st stage finds itself at the bottom, however, for no real reason other than a few jumps felt iffy to me, like it took inferno and Nader a few screens before they really found their groove. By the second stage, I stopped having complaints altogether. Every section flows wonderfully and as if it were made by one person; their designs blend together with such purity that you'll find yourself thinking about the possibility that this isn't a collab, that it was just one person making it and lying about it for one reason or another.
The only criticism that I could personally level at it is sort of a double-edged sword. There's not much variety in the design, so every save more or less feels like the one that came before it and the one which will follow it; however, given the strength of the design, I don't see that as a genuine issue. I do not mind if there is little variety in the design so long as what is there is strong enough to hold itself up alone. Plus, thanks to there only being thirty-six screens here, it felt like the design reached a natural conclusion with the final stage, so I was never left asking for something different.
Krypton is a phenomenal game, one that sees both makers delivering some of their best work. Given that this was something of a send-off for both infernoman1 and the Neon series, I'd say that it does this job brilliantly. Luckily, we saw the rebirth of infernoman1 in the form of Chatran, and the Neon series of course found its real end with Neon 3. Nonetheless, this would have been a fine way to see them off had that been the case.

For: Chile Game
For: Chile Game
It's amazing that the Chile Game has marked a before and after for me as a creator (both for better and for worse).
I was able to get better at making a non-generic needle
(because the previous game to this one was the Magic Needle which is a piece of shit)
although the bad thing was the imbalance itself
and above all in trusting that people really liked it,
just because 2 shitty testplayers said it was good.
Seeing so many people criticizing that game
like never before showed me that it was really bad,
believing it wouldn't get very far.
So, out came Another Bad Game
an easy needle game I made in response to all those negative reviews.
I wanted Another Bad Game to be my last project
and to be my retirement as a creator
but I had a pending collaboration with JPRG666 which I also did
and after KogamiTakara and KingSlendy talked about making a collab
(Second Family Members) I decided to participate
but after what happened with Chile Game,
I decided to wait for the bad thing to happen and for them to say that it is a shitty
Hispanic game (as many collabs I've participated in as my own games)
and now, I'm with Go The Medley, and the truth is, I don't expect my game to do well either,
I don't expect my game to turn out well either,
no matter how many effects and details I put, I prefer to wait for it to disappoint me, since it might be my last real project.
I never have hope when my games are public.
28/07/2024: I think I'm getting the urge to redo all this crap to create a game that's actually entertaining.
