As one of Carnival's older but more well known games, Heaventrap holds up pretty well so long as you know what you're in for. In true Carnival style, it's a trap filled adventure through fairly standard looking areas, usually referencing the original IWBTG or making use of nice simple tiles and backgrounds, often with a completely unrelated boss to round things off. There's some pretty cool variety and I enjoyed the exploration throwback that it uses with the whole Room of Divine Transportation thing.
The bosses whilst being relatively simple all felt interesting enough and unique to stand out, with mixed memorability.. Not many games give you the chance to have a final destination showdown with the Smash Bros icon, or have a taiko showdown in a Big Kid-esque segment. None of them feel remotely special in terms of production value which isn't really expected given the age of the game, but it would've been cool to see the bosses go beyond just a static sprite hurling some attacks at you.
I'm somewhat hit or miss with trap-heavy games like this, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how it holds up after all this time. If you're in the mood for an adventure somewhat reminiscent of the original IWBTG then it's a pretty decent choice. Just make sure you expect a boatload of trap shenanigans along the way and some very oldschool design.

For: New Mini Kongkongi's Adventure(2019 ver)
Adventure game suitable for beginner players (enable autofire using "A" key), but I can't honestly recommend it.
New Mini Kongkongi's Adventure got some length, numerous bosses, and some platforming, but, unfortunately, none of it is very satisfying.
Platforming is a joke, with stiff jumping of the custom engine somehow providing much worse 2D platformer experience than you expect from a fangame.
Tilesets are not the best, but what really sucks is that they clash with backgrounds really hard, hurting my eyes.
Enemies don't pose a threat aside from bosses. Almost all normal bosses are just annoying, placed in similar style arenas without much variation. Final boss is just a combination of all normal bosses, which makes it barely interesting.
All that said, game contains a bunch of secret areas and secret bosses, few of which I uncovered on my first playthrough. In opposition to normal bosses, secret bosses are both better made and got more interesting attacks, making me wonder why all this stuff is hidden to the side.
Honestly, can't recommend, but it is not the worst.

Charming adventure game. It does some neat things, but it isn't all that interesting and the traps are kinda meh.

Kirakira is one of those games that is fun to play but very frustrating to clear (at this time I've yet to clear it fully).
The avoidance is high intensity, exciting, and keeps you on your toes throughout.
Doing that for 2 minutes straight and having every single attack be high probability of walling or sniping you is mentally exhausting and limits progress significantly.
Very entertaining game with a banger song nontheless

Starts out cute and easy, then difficulty spikes in the second half
Not too bad though, short enough to be worth a play

Funny traps, good production value, tons of variety, and an INSANE final boss. Only real complaint with this game is that the horror stage was way too dark and made it hard to see where to go. IWBTJuan always impresses me with the level of polish for simple games.
Would recommend.
