For: I wanna be the Vardoc
For: I wanna be the Vardoc
Oh boy, where to begin with this one... I guess I could start explain what a "Vardoc" is. Well Vardoc is a Chilean Youtuber that used to play fangames. So this game is kind of a tribute to him I guess.
Now on to the game:
First stage is some bad needle which consists of around 10 rooms with no gimmicks and literally just seeing them will tell you what you'll be getting yourself into, an extremely ugly pixelated-background with random tornadoes, some even stuck on the walls and random needle, showing a lack of interesting in making the gameworld feel and look good. Afterwards you get to the first boss, Airman. At first, as I said before I didn't even beat Airman, but since everything is a solid in this game by poor coding (this means that projectiles and bosses can get stuck on your bullets (which are also solids mind you)) you can actually glitch him so that he takes a lot of damage, funnily enough thanks to bad poor game design it's still hard even if you get him stuck, he has way too much HP, so much in fact that I actually thought he was impossible. The boss shoots out Tornadoes and since everything is a solid then those Tornadoes serve as sponges for your bullets and you do less damage. Once you beat him he throws out a warp in the direction he's going, really fast, so if you're not prepared (there's no way to tell when the boss will die) you're going to miss the warp and you will have to do the boss again! Funnily enough, the ENTIRE GAME is like that. A proof of inexperience when it comes to fun game design and just fangames in general. Every boss is just a bullet sponge that if you don't get stuck or cheese with save spots then you're not going to beat them. This game has way too much RNG which significates that skill is just thrown out the window and you just gotta believe that you get good enough RNG to beat it. This is literally the worst thing you can have in your game. Instead of making something fun and challenging it went out of it's way to make the most annoying and frustating thing it could make, because everytime you die to a boss or some dumb section like world2 it doesn't feel like your fault; it feels like you just got cheated out of your time.
Before knowing there was anything after Airman, I didn't think much of this game, it was just a short mindless poorly desinged game, but after playing through the rest of it; this might actually be the worst fangame ever created. While you could make the argument that games like "My heart will go on" or "chokochoko" because those games don't impose any challenge and are just time sinkers this one just makes you feel such dread and doesn't even respect the player nor the guy this game is tributed to: Vardoc1. You see, when you think of a tribute game I usually think of funny references to the person this is aimed at, this game barely has any: Just because he played those games doesn't make it a reference buddy. The only notable reference I can think of is boss 3 which is a reference to I Wanna be the GB final boss and his famous moment "Lo mate, mori, CTM".
Overall it's an excruciating game filled with nothing but above average difficulty jumps, horrible game designs, mind-boggling coding and horrible horrible bosses, which the last one seems to be impossible according to Koslyn, since his HP doesn't seem to go down, great thing they tested the game beforehand, and the worst part: it's barely a TRIBUTE. No, you know what, the worst part is that it actually wasn't tested beforehand, there's just too much solid proof that there wasn't and the fact that IF you kill kirby it will spawn "warpvardoc" while the actual warp name is "vardocwarp"... I really don't know what to say, I've never; in my entire decade playing fangames seen such incopetence when making a game. Still I shouldn't be so mean as this was probably made by a young child (at the time).
Skip this one, for you own sake really; it's really that bad.

Back in the day, this one was pretty alright, nowadays this fangame has aged, roughly. Platforming is not fun nor hard, just traps. There isn't anything really challenging (hardest thing you'll do is a gate) about it so you just check for traps, die and re-do. That's about 95% of the screens of the game. There's a bunch of gimmicks that are just plain obnoxious and annoying. (Invis. Blocks and Random Balls(that room is actually one of the worst rooms i've experienced in any fangame)). Bosses are Ok except for Koffing; he is infamous for being awful rng fiesta and it's true.
Music is above Average and the sprites could have been better.
I'm really saddened going back to this one after so many years and noticing that my Nostalgia-goggles where just tricking me and this one was actually bad, when I first played this I actually thought it might be my favorite fangame; looking at it right now, yeah no.

An interesting gimmick that sadly isn't fully explored in this really short game.
I wanna Time travel is centered around, you guessed it, time travel. Use other Kids to push buttons and bring stuff towards you in this puzzle-oriented game.
As I said before there's not really much in the game (around 10 screens) after that the game will crash.
It's good to burn some time but don't expect anything too crazy, even if some of the ideas here are interesting.

This is one of the first fangames that I played. First of all let's just say the physics in this game are way different that what we're used to now but it's not that bad for it to be unplayable (I will admit it makes easy jumps kind of weird the first half an hour). The game has a lot of original ideas in it. The music in this one is godlike.
Major problems with this one would be: The physics being clunky and making jumps awkward, waiting: there's a lot of it and incosistency interms of quality (some bosses being awful and some ok)
It's a fun adventure game and worth playing. Super beginner-friendly even if the physics are weird

Man, where to begin with this one: From sprite to music to platforming everything is done greatly. The gimmicks and variety on this one are great. Yes even the golf part.
My only problem with the game is the difficulty curve can be rough for beginners, the first level is probably the second hardest one only coming after the last level. In terms of bosses, they're alright, nothing really special or groundbreaking. The last boss can be super easy or super hard depending on the platform rng. And talking about rng, for a game that's supposed to be speedran there's a lot of rng all around the game..
100% recommended for Beginners

I Wanna get Cultured is an interesting Medley, Taking inspiration from the Kamilia Series this one takes a more Beginner-Friendly approach, platforming feels great in this one even when they change some stuff to match the game it came from. The difficulty curve in this game is really good, starting out super easy then going to actually challenging. The humour is done pretty well (IMO) and the music is fine.
But still this is not a perfect game whatsoever, there are lots of stinkers in this one. Mainly
Stage4 being a huge tower that ends up being boring rather than anything else and being way too long. And for a more important negative: The final boss is thematically good but just ends up being annoying with all the rng it has. For the final phase getting Speed with "I wanna conquer the 100 trials" was just an instant restart because it was just so unfair comparing it to any of the others. I Wanna be the 3200min with low-g or I wanna celebrate the 100 with anything.
Still I wouldn't go as far as to say this is a bad game, I would be lying if I didn't say i had fun with it but those thing in the spoiler really wreck the experience.

I had a lot of trouble with this game my first time through, but upon a replay I found it to be a very smooth experience. Recommended for more experienced needle players who want something chill, but with enough content to keep you occupied.
