For: I Wanna Fill In The Blanks
Definitely one of the most unique and arguably replayable fangames out there. Similar to Draw My Guy, Fill in the Blanks takes a create-your-own-story sort of approach whereby you contribute your own ideas and words and...well, the best way to experience it is to go in blind initially and see what wacky shenanigans ensue.
In terms of the gameplay, it's primarily simple stuff with a few trap-based platforming segments and a couple of bosses thrown in for good measure. The main enjoyment of the game comes with what accompanies it, and is first and foremost the reason to play it. The difficulty feels very reasonable although those who are brand new to fangames may find it a little challenging, otherwise I'd be in a rush to recommend this to non-fangame players as well.
It's a blast to play, and one that I'll definitely be revisiting multiple times in the future. If you are still blind on this then I implore you to download it and give it a whirl, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Even if you aren't blind, I'm sure your playthrough will be quite unlike anyone else's.

Whimsical Mercy consists of just the one avoidance lasting roughly 3:20 in length set to a very upbeat and SourPls Miku song. Primarily pattern based, it provides a fun challenge with a couple of questionable spots dragging it down a little in regards to the fun factor, although I enjoyed my time with this for the most part.
The song is actually what mainly drew me to play this originally, which is a rarity for a vocaloid song. It's very catchy, and the multitude of colourful attacks throughout are synced to the song very well in many creative ways, which makes it very satisfying to play as you slide through the patterns and enjoy the visual festivities it has to offer. I particularly liked the zoom-in segment of the avoidance/song and the rotating wheel-of-sorts in the middle. In addition, there's a fun little easter egg where you can access a second non-vocaloid version of the song by some exploring of hidden blocks in the portal room, which is something I always appreciate to keep things fresh.
Whilst a couple of attacks can feel a bit cumbersome to get to grips with at first, the weakest part is most certainly the last 30 seconds or so. One particular attack will have you timing a very sketchy jump in the center of the screen which can feel a bit grindy and inconsistent, and this is followed up by a clown fiesta ending of sorts that will very likely wall you until you're blessed by the gods of RNG. Thankfully I was lucky and didn't have too many heartbreaks here, but it's a very blatant issue when the super fast RNG spray overlaps with a previous RNG fiesta and all you can really do is head left and hope it sorta works out for you.
Rough spots aside though, it's a fun avoidance. My motivation dipped a little bit around the 2:20 mark when the aimed-cherry/lovetrap-esque-kinda attack happened because I'm generally bad at those, but even with the questionable ending segments I was still having fun playing. Would recommend if you're looking for a primarily-pattern avoidance with a SourPls song and some kooky attacks that feel satisfying or even whimsical to play.

I enjoyed a shockingly small amount of floors in this game! It feels like Crimson Needle 1 but with all the bad parts and very few of the good parts. Later on Anan Spike turns into 16px vine spam with long saves.
Do not recommend.

For: PSIFT: A Post-Structuralist Ironic Fangame Title
So I am really unsure of what I think of this game and how I should review it because of certain situations which will be explained later. In some ways, it is disappointing, while in other ways its a cerebral experience designed to feel alien. The atmosphere that this game gives out is otherworldly and makes you feel like you have stumbled into something thought to be lost, which you will also likely feel if you are able to find a download for this game.
The game starts with a cool idea of speedrunning to get medals to unlock new areas. This was not implemented in the leaked version, so a cheat code is required run button 8 times. This was probably a good thing however because of later issues.
The first issue is the grappling hook. Maybe it is just me, as other reviewers seem to not have an issue with it, but the grappling hook is buggy and tends to aim at spots that I do not want it to aim at. The way it is supposed to work is that it shoots in 3 directions, upper left, up, and upper right. It is decided based on what arrow you are pressing at the last moment before you press "x". However, my grappling hook would usually decide to aim up instead, making it so that I had to skip almost all the levels involving it as I could not ever make it do what I wanted.
The lighthouse gimmick was a cool idea, but combined with the grappling hook was a huge "no" for me.
The boss is just awful. Its an RNG based boss that chooses random movement and attacks in ways that are able to wall you 90% of the time. Once the boss is down to 1HP, the boss starts to move super fast out of the side walls, which it had never done before in the rest of the fight and shoots projectiles at you. I choked to this and rage-quit the boss. I decided to skip to stage 2
Stage 2 had some extraordinary gimmicks and never felt tiring except for a string of levels where you must navigate by lights that move around the screen seemingly at random. I skipped all of these because fuck that noise. The other gimmicks were very cool including terrain that changes the level design based on gimmicks and an evil clone that copies your every move through platforming. Very fun area overall.
Sadly, the boss of this area, is once again awful. Its even more RNG based than the first boss and even relies on luck as to whether you can actually hit him or not. He also has a phase 2 with a sonic homing attack. Fuck that noise, skip.
Stage 3 is not quite as good as Stage 2, but still has some really fucking cool areas. Some favorites are TNT barrels that break terrain and a part where the kid is covered in gold making him more heavy.
Boss 3 is finally amazing! It's a very cool 3 phase boss with a very derfian aesthetic. If you've played any of his games, you know what I am talking about. It feels polished, and offers optional HP boosts throughout the fight making the harsh RNG fair and the fight very fun. What truely sold it for me was the Dr. Strangelove reference at the end of the fight. A true delight, the game is worth downloading just to fight this boss, even if its rather easy with HP.
So some of my final thoughts on this game. Firstly, the game was never properly released. The version I played is called the cornblack edition. The developer has no memory of ever making a cornblack edition, yet the readme seems to argue otherwise:
"PSIFT: By Derf and Katz was never meant to be released.
If you somehow have this, YOU are held responsible for its enfranchising. I'd advise not sharing it with anyone, as it would
cause more complications for us, the developers. This was never intended to be released other than to a certain pool of people.
Thank you and have fun!"
so either the developer made it and forgot, the uploader acted like it was a modified version by the developers, or its a readme from the original version of the game. Why the game was changed to the "cornblack edition" is still beyond me. If anybody has any information on the uploader or how the game got leaked, I would love to hear about it and would keep your identity private if you felt uncomfortable about the information being associated with you.
Since this is an unfinished version, I feel like assigning it a rating is unfair. It wasn't finished or intended for the public to view. The first 2 bosses might have been unfinished and were going to be improved, maybe with the optional HP the 3rd boss has. Maybe the grappling hook would be made less finicky. Sadly, it seems like the game will never be finished. If I was forced at gunpoint to give a rating to this beta I would probably go with a 7.5-8.5 out of 10. I would suggest downloading it if you find it and perusing it, as nothing else like it exists in any other fangame. Just please, for your sake, don't feel it necessary to finish every level and boss.
