Update: Version 1.2 is now available, with several balance changes, notably to the final boss. Be sure to update!
After the events of I Wanna Be The Guy, The Kid is invited to a game show hosted by an imposing figure! Fight your way through several game challenges to compete for a high score. Do you have what it takes to master these games and win the grand prize?
Developed by Cherry Treehouse for Fangame Marathon 2022's Blind Adventure event, WannaFest 22 is a fast-paced rollercoaster through hidden gaming gems of the past!
Features:
-> Several stages faithfully based on cult classic games
-> Fast-paced gameplay focused on variety and scoring
-> Unique and exciting boss encounters
-> Crisp, colorful graphics and catchy music
-> Reprising voice actors from the original I Wanna Be The Guy
-> Plenty of achievements and extras
-> Full controller support
-> English and Japanese (subtitles) support
This was a heavy collaborative effort, no single stage was developed by only one person.
We worked really hard on this, we hope you enjoy it!

What can be said about this game that hasn't already been said? The quality and vision is through the roof.
A collaborative effort between some of the most talented creators in the community, the game is basically an anthology split up into different segments that are inspired by, and adhere very closely, to some other famous video games. This includes Wario Land 4 for the GBA, Parappa the Rappa, Monkey Ball, and Klonoa (which is such a treat to see given its relative obscurity).
The level of effort and polish is insane here. It is almost fully voice acting, which includes the original creator of IWBTG, Kayin; has an enormous number of achievements, some of which are quite unique and challenging; and multiple different endings depending on how well you do across the entire game.
So why isn't this an easy 10 for me? Well, like with other anthology games like "Run the Marathon" and "Save the Ship", the total package will only be as good as the individual segments within it. This one in particular I think plays the sections too straight; as someone who played both the original Wario and Klonoa games I can attest that the verisimilitude is freakishly on point. While not for a second demeaning the technical excellence required to basically recreate those other games in a fangame context, the result isn't transformative enough to really justify a higher score in my mind. This is particularly an issue if you don't like, or are not good at, one of those other genres of games. As an example, I play fangames because they're platformers at their core; I neither like, or am good at, Monkey ball, so that section was utterly miserable for me to play through. Sections like that reduce any desire for me to play the game end-to-end ever again.
Overall this no doubt stands as one of the greatest fangames ever created, and a mile stone of both technical quality and collaboration. Whether you personally like what's on display here though is a different matter.
