Really fun avoidance, it's largely pattern especially in the first 2/3rds but there's lots of RNG sprinkled in, especially at the ending. A lot of the patterns feel pretty good to perform which is really nice, in particular the ones after the first dark bit are really fun for me. The highlight of the entire avoidance is the 2nd chorus, it's super exciting and intense, especially when you consider the difficulty of the avoidance isn't the highest, it still evokes a really powerful feeling. At the same time though, some of the RNG is a little ridiculous. It's definitely not the worst but at some times you'll get a kinda ridiculous situation you probably aren't getting out of, especially in chorus 2. I don't mind this but it can definitely be a deal breaker. In spite of that though the game is fun and it's a pretty approachable difficulty, would encourage trying it out at some point.

A grand little adventure, somewhat abstracted away from what would traditionally be termed a "fangame" but clearly inspired by them nonetheless. Basically a grand adventure to defeat the dreaded Chungo (inspired by a popular meme). The art is fantastic and has little flourishes of originality that make this feel like a real work of love. Definitely worth a play.

Boshy kills me. It's an absolutely stunning game overflowing with unique ideas, interesting gameplay, compelling aesthetics, and epic moments. The amount of secrets and additional content on top of an already long game is frankly insane. It is undeniably one of the most iconic fangames of all time and pivotal to the history and enduring popularity of the community.
So why the low score? Because for all the amazing aspects it is a seriously unbalanced game. The difficulty spikes are ridiculous. I personally bounced after wasting several hours not getting better at the Sonic boss. I remember Boshy speedrunner Witwix said that that is where most casual gamers give up, so I'm not ashamed to admit that. It points to an underlying excess and lack of constraint that ruins a lot of the fun. Case in point; the Ryu fight is one of my favourite bosses in all of fangaming, with an incredible soundtrack and compelling setup. Solgryn really has a feel for creating "epic" moments beyond what most fangame creators are capable of. However, he can't help himself...he just had to put in a ridiculous button mashing section in the Ryu fight that was completely unnecessary and adds no enjoyment to it at all. This defines "IWBTB" well actually; technically incredible, but ruined by a lack of restraint.
Beyond that, some of the gimmicks are childish and unenjoyable (spinning screens for instance), and a lot of the humour is meme-based and has really not aged well at all.
It's almost an insult to the wild vision of its creator to suggest that this game needs editing, but it really does. Its excesses are just too severe to be remotely enjoyable. There is a near perfect game here lying underneath a some shockingly poor gameplay choices and excessive difficulty. The best fangame to watch other people play, but not fun to play itself. To quote Witwix: "Boshy is an amazing game; 10/10, don't play it."

There's no doubt this is a classic colab game. Basically an anthology with a bunch of different styles emulating various famous game franchises (Metroid, Kirby, etc.). The narrative, framing and voice work is such a treasure, and exactly what I want to be seeing from high quality fangames. Despite that, this game will only be as enjoyable as the individual segments, and my experience was mixed. The Kirby stage was pretty boring and the Metroid game was frustrating. Still, it can't dampen a compelling overall experience. Recommended.
