Really short and easy, yet charming and interesting game. The goal is to collect wrenches thoroughout a small open world. There are two endings, the first one requires only getting to one specific room while the other you get by collecting all the wrenches. I recomend going for the second one as 99% of the content is challenges with wrenches as a reward

I Wanna Be The Vandal is an extremely well polished gimmick needle game, working as a fusion between Wolfie's own style and some distinct influences. It combines clean visuals with a varied soundtrack and while focusing almost exclusively on a traditional needle flow, occasionally interrupts it with charming interludes and a few zany antics.
While it is a needle game, it does add some nice touches to keep the constant feeling that there's a little more going on - which there is - through well connected room layouts and a lighthearted narrative, something more needle games should take to heart. The extra charm and personality definitely goes a long way in this game to keeping it engaging.
The production is very solid, visuals are clean the whole way through with very consistent tileset changes to keep it fresh and an occasional sprinkle of effects to brighten it up. The music is very varied and never lingers too, which means even if your pace through the game isn't good, you won't get bored of the aesthetics.
The platforming, of course, is the core of the game and its very good. There's hints of his old style combined current influences and it makes for a lot of varied stages. Every couple rooms feels like a change in style while maintaining some of the key components and it feels good to go through. There's not much to really add on it, Wolfi knows his needle. If there's any complaint, he may have legitimately used too many 16 or less pixel wall hugs. Difficulty wise, it starts pretty high but doesn't get much harder over the course of it.
Overall, its a top tier gimmick needle game in a comfortable, popular difficulty range with some bonus charm and a good chunk of content, and is worth playing for anyone who enjoys gimmick needle games and can handle the pretty hefty challenge. It really exemplifies the community progression in the innovation offered in this case by CN3 and refinement and adaptation applied to it afterwards.

Most of the time you will face lots of unnecessary huge roadblocks of garbage RNGs like this:

Nice little game with a big focus on atmosphere. The spritework here is all great and comes together for a nice theme. The game is pretty open-ended with no clear path to the end, and there's a good amount of optional collectibles you can get, which is where most of the challenge comes from. One gimmick in particular is honestly really interesting and I'd love to see more done with it. There's a few rough spots, as the game probably wasn't really tested outside of the maker, but it doesn't detract too much from the overall experience.
It's a great first step and I honestly can't wait to see more from riktoi in the future.
