Welp, I didn't have big expectations for this game, but actually it was really really good! The main gimmick is that you collect courage over the main map and unlock graves to rob, which are themed around different professionalities. The game is really short, but incredibly fun. I would really like if this idea was developed into a bigger and harder game with different maps and more of graves to rob

Fantastic metoidvania (what a surprise, Mattin makes a metriodvania!) which is still very fresh, because Mattin variates gameplay in all his games while continuously making metroidvanias. Especially enjoyed the final boss

There are 2 .exe's, one is around 15Mb and one is around 6Mb.
The 15Mb one looks like an impossible mode as there are no saves on the first screen compared to the 6Mb exe, but in reality it seems to just be a harder version with the same number of saves but a few more traps, which are generally flying spikes.
It was almost fun for a few screens, but then there was a ridiculously precise trigger and I couldn't be bothered to continue.

This game's got some really interesting needle, design-wise and visually, with a very cool atmosphere that's inspired by fangames from dopamine, Derf and Hiddow.
My rating for this so far is only based on the main game (excludes extra avoidance since I haven't beaten it yet).
This game consists of an intro stage, 4 stages from which you can pick the order, a final stage that gets unlocked once you beat the 4 other stages and an extra avoidance.
I personally enjoyed Syfactor's Venereal Cessation Stage the most since it had some neat jumps and its atmosphere and visuals felt very nice to go through. The symmetry also was a nice touch.
Zorgo's Distortion Stage would be my second place for the same reasons (except no symmetry) but it's second because it also had a few jumps that were kinda irritating like a forced 2 frame (at least I think it was) somewhere on the second to last screen.
Nogard's Flesh Stage was also pretty good and it used Catharsis water (no extra jumps, you just fall slower), which created some cool platforming. Though it also had a few annoying jumps, but I might be biased for that since I just don't like platform jumps that much. Still a good stage.
Then there's Zorgo's Separation Stage, which looked really awesome and was also fun to do but it also had some of the hardest and most annoying saves in the game. It wasn't even always his fault for them being like that because there's a vine bug which sometimes just doesn't let you jump off of vines on the right side. That's rather an engine issue though since I've seen it happen in other games as well.
That being said, surprisingly this area also contained my favorite save in this game: the 3rd save of screen 2.
That save was so incredibly satisfying to pull off for me and I can't even quite explain why. At first, the vine jump for that seemed to be a bit annoying but once I figured out there is a strategy for it where you just have to hold jump and BOTH the right and left key at the same time from a certain position it became a really fun jump. The rest of the save was also very well designed and I can't complain about it in the slightest.
And finally the final stage, Mr. Wonderful's Satisfaction Stage. Also a good stage even if I normally don't like platform jumps that much but I think they were mostly pulled off well, except for the third screen where it was a bit irritating to get used to the muscle memory of the platform jumps.
The order of these was supposed to represent my ranking at first but now after thinking about it some more, I'm not too sure which ones I like more or less for the last 3 stages I wrote about. lol

All in all, it's a nice collab game that I would recommend experienced fangamers to play. :)

A pretty lengthy, variety packed adventure game.
The stages in this game are pretty great, tossing in a decent amount of variety while randomly mixing it up with mid-way bosses and new gimmicks. Its also got a good level of traps where they're not overbearing but also not rare enough that you forget that they might be coming, adding that little bit of flair.
Production wise, its up to par - hardly standing out necessarily in any way but everything looks clean and while gameover music is annoying, atleast its not restarting.
The main takeaway is that the game is fun and not too hard. It doesn't ramp up much in general over the course of the game and it keeps you on your toes with lots of different gimmicks and bosses. The downsides are probably difficulty balance - saves are all over the place difficulty wise and while it never gets too hard, it might be a bit rough for a newer player to consider because it will be bumpy. For an experienced fangamer looking for something in the easy-moderate range though, it flows well enough. The other main drawback is some of the boss design - balance wise, there are bosses that select from several attacks and half of them might be totally free, or certain bosses/attacks where your ability to damage them is down to RNG. Another factor is in most bosses, many of the attacks go on way too long or the boss has way too much hp - expect to see a LOT of each attack even in a single attempt. This is another reason to be wary as a newer player as it'd probably be unpleasant to get stuck on - but again for an experienced player you'll likely get through before its tiring.
Overall, if you're looking for a very charming, reasonably bulky adventure of the classic eastern style this is worth checking out. There's fun traps, interesting gimmicks, interesting bosses, jokes and weird quirks abound.
