I'm so happy this exists.
My favorite fangame; they even got the original VAs.
Only complaints would be that there's not more of it and that the quality of achievements varies way too much. Some of them just felt phoned in to have the 3 per stage quota.

This game is one of the fangames I have ever enjoyed the most and it is a true masterpiece in all its aspects: Gameplay, visuals, music, effects, art... Everything... until the final boss. This final boss has very creative ideas but, in my opinion, it would benefit from being shorter and not having so many phases, as it can become tedious and frustrating at times, especially in those phases that are heavily RNG dependent. That's the reason that prevents me from giving this game a 10/10, because for the rest of the things, the game is just perfect.
P.S.: I give this game a 60 difficulty based mainly on the final boss, because the rest of the game is difficulty 45 at most.

This is more than just a fangame, it's more, than a celebratory fangame made to show off what a custom made engine can do. It's a celebration of games in general. In fact, this kind of reminds me of Nintendo Land. It brings lesser known games into the spotlight and reinvents them to make a fun, yet challenging experience. WannaFest 22 feels like the Nintendo Land of I Wanna Be The Guy, and considering how Nintendo Land is my favorite game of all time, that should be a sign that the game is pretty god damn good. Just play this, it deserves all the praise it has for a reason. Just a perfect fangame. Oh, and the final boss, I wanted to save this part for when I finally beat the game. (which I did and as of typing this it's my hardest by like 15 difficulty points) I fucking love this fight, the main gimmick of the fight is the Wheel of MISForture, some might not like the fact that a lot of the fight is based on RNG, but unlike I Wanna Love Rag which is mostly just praying for good RNG, WannaFest22 uses RNG to mix up each attempt, and not only that, but every outcome is really creative, you might have to pay off a debt, or answer 3 quiz questions correctly, or even fight bosses from other fangames like the Sol Gryn from Boshy or the colored creature things from Crimson, it's just a ton of fun and I never found myself getting mad or frustrated because the fight never gets stale, it's an incredible fight for an incredible fangame.
