Hi everyone, I'm Fruitless, that guy you're probably familiar with by now for some reason or another. I'm just here trying to have some fun and hopefully not cause any problems.
My rating scale works in intervals of 2 points, and my difficulty scale works in intervals of 5.
-10/10: absolute must play, reserved for only the highest quality fangames out there
-8/10: high recommendation, but not quite among the best of the best
-6/10: a perfectly fine and well-made game, but with some flaws holding it back
-4/10: an ok game, but I can't guarantee you'll enjoy it
-2/10: outright bad and unfun, and an experience that I just can't recommend to most people
-0/10: absolute garbage, reserved for only the lowest quality fangames out there
Additionally, my favorites list is reserved for games I felt were an 8/10 or higher.
I try not to be too harsh of a critic, although I do tend to internalize a game's flaws more than its strengths, especially with higher difficulty fangames, so that likely affects my reviews. I've tried to adjust my ratings to get around this problem, but keep in mind that this is a thing that does happen.

For: I wanna go the Parallel World
I always like me a good collab game, since it comes with plenty of variety, and this is no exception.
I Wanna Go The Parallel World is a big collab game made for the Nico Live RTA Race, featuring a bunch of stages based on different games. It's a lot like I Wanna Run The Marathon in this fashion, but done almost 3 years earlier, and while the quality does reflect this time gap, I would still call this game good.
In between all the stages, you get a bunch of rooms based on I Wanna Be The Guy, which are nothing special, although they do add some fun twists here and there, especially the Gradius section being the most interesting one. However, you're here for the reference stages brought to you by Kamek's dark magic, so let's go through those.
-First is the Minecraft stage, which doesn't use any fancy gimmicks at first, only focusing on traps. And since this stage is by dagger, that means some pretty good traps. They're laid out well to catch you off-guard, while still being creative and simple to dodge once you know they're there, and of course there's that one trap which was especially funny. However, halfway in we actually get the gimmick, that being the inventory and placing blocks. You do need the mouse to use these, which isn't much of an issue until the boss fight against the Creeper which requires you to use it on the fly. Luckily, the boss is easy enough that you can micromanage this with dodging the attacks, minus the second phase which doesn't even feature the gimmick at all.
-かーにばる is up next, and his stage is based on Mario Kart Wii. Here, you have to race against Mario while avoiding the items he throws at you, and even using them against him as well. This does require tight movements, but unlike Mario Kart, you also need to memorize everything that comes your way, since you need to use the correct items at the correct times to counter what he does. Combined with the tight time limit, this makes for a very hectic stage, but one which is still fun once you know what's coming.
-Then yet another Mario stage, the Super Mario 64 stage made by どるっぴ. Here, your double jump is removed, forcing you to use the single jump instead, but you can chain jumps together to get higher than before. It does take a bit of time to set up every triple jump, but the stage is designed to get around this, giving you enough time and space to do it comfortably. This stage is divided into 3 parts: Bob-Omb Battlefield, Jolly Roger Bay, and Bowser In The Sky. The first one is a standard climb up with some enemies in your way, ending with a boss fight against King Bob-Omb which is easy to do with the triple jump. The next one is almost fully underwater, save for inside the ship and a short section with some bonk jumps, and is basically just a red coin collection stage which lets you save your progress easily, making lost progress a non-issue. The stage ends with a Bowser fight, where he moves around the arena and does a bunch of attacks that you can easily dodge from a long range, especially given the triple jump, I even managed to get it on my first try.
-And now Pokémon! And who else to make such a stage than the creator of the Pikachu trap himself, つたかみ. Another maker known for creative traps, those also make an appearance here with the same humor as usual. There is a cryptic moment or 2 here or there, but for the most part it's fun and intuitive trap design. The Unown minigame is RNG trash though. Of course, since this is a Pokémon stage, you also fight against some trainers here, those being Joey and Silver. You can rush through them if you want, but you're much better off waiting for the moment where it's safe to attack before doing anything.
-Up next is quite a surprise, にひみ's stage, which is actually based directly on other fangames (GB, Fangame, LoveTrap). This was the stage I was the most excited for, since it uses gimmicks from all over those games throughout, in really creative ways too. The GB stage has some lame-ish traps at first followed by some more interesting ones later in the Tetris tower, plus a really great elements boss. The Fangame stage, however, is much rougher, with some gimmicks like the mirror Kid rooms which are hard to wrap your head around, or the water physics directly from the original game which are hard to work around. The LoveTrap stage is thankfully much better though, some fun cycles and a random fight against ⑨ and ⑪ which wasn't unfair, basically the only thing that was unfair was when Rukimin appeared later to come and wall you. The stage ends with a joke boss against a cherry, which I personally found too drawn-out to be very funny.
-Then...we get to the Dark Souls stage, made by ぷ～ちん. This is another stage that messes with your physics, as holding down the shoot key will allow you to dash, but you have limited stamina to do this. The sections that do use this are pretty fun, but since this is based on Dark Souls, most of your time is spent fighting enemies, and this is where the stage falls apart. The enemies either move around too quickly for you to hit or just block your bullets entirely, which becomes super frustrating when paired with your stamina meter. The boss fight with Dragon Slayer Ornstein thankfully doesn't have these issues, but it does have an attack which can give you unfair RNG sometimes, so look out for that.
-ロボ厨's stage is another one with a lot going on, this time based on Final Fantasy 9. First, you get a short Simon Says section which is easy to do, since many of the attacks can be dodged the same way. After that comes another trap-centered stage, and this stage succeeds in the trap department too. Just when you think you're done with a trap, it immediately comes and proves you wrong by hitting you again. There's also come cycles and moving spikes here, which are also used creatively, especially in combination with these traps. Unfortunately, this stage doesn't have a boss, which felt kind of anticlimactic.
-Not to worry though, because immediately after that, we get the Guy! It's divided into 2 phases, one inside the castle and one giant phase outside. The first one is your standard Guy fight, with firey grenades which get in the way of using the platforms and him shooting giant bullets at you, although this time there's a lot more emphasis on him flying around the room. The second phase is also reminiscent of the original fight, but this time less so, since Kamek returns again to try and attack you too. There's still the regular Guy attacks though, with the aimed white bullets and spikes coming from his mouth, but it's still a very tense fight, especially at the end with it becoming more cramped.
Man, what a game. I'm not sure if it worked as a speedrun game or not (apparently so, since it got runs after the fact), but as a game to just play, you definitely get a lot to work with here. Recommended if you liked the Marathon games and want to see something similar that came before them.

One of the 2 avoidances from Domu 2, alongside Hellfire, that got released separately after that game got cancelled. This one is a Miku avoidance with the song "Kiwi" by ATOLS, and is a lot less complex than what you would expect from Nogard, but still fun. It's mostly simple attacks, although there are a couple of really cool ones like the 2 alternating groups of bullet bursts near the end. It is kind of unbalanced with the RNG in some moments, or at least it would be if not for the hitboxes of the bullets. They're actually glow bullets, meaning you can get pretty close to the bullet and get away with some pretty nutty dodges. The final attack, however, is still kind of an issue, due to the density and the trail effect which actively gets in the way of you being able to see what you're doing.
Even if Domu 2 didn't see the light of day, I'm glad some parts of it still did. Fun game, would recommend if you like easier but still intense avoidance games.

Rating based on beating the game with practice but without HP.
An avoidance containing a bunch of references to the maker とも, featuring the song "Lighter" by T-J and K3nto featuring Mikono Osushi. As an homage, it works great, you can see a bunch of references to many of his games throughout, even Kamilia 3 managed to find a way in. In terms of the actual game design, it also works really well. The attacks are interesting enough to keep you moving around the room, and are balanced surprisingly fairly for being based on a maker with such an unbalanced catalogue. Obviously you do get the occasional wall here or there, especially since the game likes to stack multiple attacks on top of each other, but for the most part it's balanced well enough so this isn't an issue. Even besides that, the game gives you a practice tool to get used to the later parts of the fight, so any insta-gibs can catch you off-guard as easily, which I really appreciate.
If you like とも's stuff, then you'll definitely like this, but it still works on its own merits as well. Recommended to avoidance players, and remember that the HP mode also exists if you need that.

Rating based on Hard mode, which only removes a single save for some reason.
Another obscure Leehe title, this game has a single screen of needle followed by an avoidance. The needle isn't worth bringing much attention to, basically the only real potential problem is the t-bone at the beginning. After that comes the avoidance, with the song "Night & Cigarette" by Soreppai-P. It's designed the same way as your typical early Leehe avoidance, some unique patterns, some RNG attacks, and of course some weird curving attacks. However, the problem comes at the final attack, which throws 2 RNG attacks at you at the same time, on top of a pattern you also have to learn. The pattern here isn't easy to learn on its own, but the RNG is also far from free either, since half the time the cherries just don't leave a path through.
So in the end, the avoidance is the main reason to play this, until the very end where the balance goes out the window. Don't play this game if you don't think you can handle that, but otherwise go right ahead.

A basic-ish avoidance with the song "Float in Disco" by Yuugou-P. I say "-ish" here because while dodging the attacks may not be super complex most of the time, the attacks themselves are nowhere near LoveTrap levels of basic, so it's only fair to give it credit for being interesting in that form. As for actual gameplay, the game doesn't feel repetitive to play, despite most of the patterns being circle-based. There's some patterns which are kind of hard to learn at first but easy otherwise, as well as some RNG which is basically always fair. The visuals also look cool, despite also being so basic.
I guess what this game shows is that you don't need to make a game super complex and flashy for it to be fun, it can still hold up and be enjoyable even without that. Recommended to novice avoidance players looking for a challenge.
