I Wanna Get the Yellow Star is a semi-classic beginner fangame which made its home in nearly every fangame player's library at some point in their life. Finding a fangame player who hasn't played this game is like walking through Dublin without passing a pub, it's almost impossible. So, what about this game made it so easily enjoyed by nearly anyone who played it? What in this game appealed to the masses?
Well, not really anything. Yellow Star isn't a legendary game that changed the fangame landscape, it didn't revolutionize the very concept of jumping through spikes, it didn't do anything that would warrant any sort of fame within the community. It's just a quaint little adventure fangame that anyone could beat if given the time. The platforming isn't overly creative, though certainly enjoyable enough, and the boss itself is straightforward and even a little irritating, though not insanely so. Yellow Star is an offensive jaunt through the basics of fangaming, one that acts as a fairly decent welcome into our supremely niche genre of platforming for any newcomer.
There's not too much to complain about either, even 5 years after release. The traps are by-the-numbers and the two maze screens are irritating, but that's honestly it. The difficulty curve is excellent, smoothly rising from beginning to end. No screen feels out of place in its stage and no jump feels any harder than another in its particular screen. Would I recommend the game? Really, it's hard to say. I like the game a decent amount, but it's hard to tell what's nostalgia and what's legitimate enjoyment. Nonetheless, if you're a beginner looking for a nice taste test of fangames, then give this one a go. It may not be the most current fangame, but I think it still does the introductory job nicely.

Chill needle! Tile sets and music are really nice apart from the final stage. Would recommend if you like needle without any gimmicks.

This game was one of the earliest fangames I've played. Personally, it's a reminiscence of my life 8 years ago, when I played this game for the first time. So I have a deep affection for this game, and I was really happy when I played this game again 2 years ago. Now I'm glad that I still have the opportunity to play this classic.

A pretty generic needle game for nowadays standards, but i ended up liking it a lot.
