A neat little adventure game that builds up kind of slowly. It opens with a little premonition that progresses as you do through the game. It incorporates a couple of new gimmicks per stage with standout transition segments between these shorter stages, culminating in a boss fight.
Expect a little confusion and a bump or two as you get adjusted to the different mechanics introduced but there's plenty of variety to appreciate along the way. Its overall an enjoyable adventure and worth a look if you're interested in one with a little more bite than the other submissions.

I never expected a song about a woman killing a baby to be a true banger.

Its a little bit fangame crossed with a fair bit of a point-and-click adventure type feel set in the Wookie storyline.
Check it out if you're looking for a little more story in your fangame and definitely a memorable one.

A nice little pure-platforming adventure game with a slick, simple polished aesthetic. There's a little bit of a secret-hunting collectathon feel added as a bonus (despite what the game might tell you), but overall its just competent platforming and some classic gimmicks.
There's a couple production spots that could probably have been cleaned up but its a nice little adventure, great for a short fangaming session.

A work in progress project submitted for the shortventure contest, Endless Mirage is an ambitious undertaking that promises to keep growing. Its a fully custom engine with custom artwork everywhere that both feels different but captures the fangame feel. Even as a demo it has a decent amount of content, though don't expect anything epic yet.
Overall, everything looks amazing and gameplay is very smooth. There's a couple rough edges as you'd expect from a WIP but this is a great beginner friendly game, as it feels a little halfway between a more traditional platformer and the precision of a fangame. Its a great example of something big to come and feels pretty spoiler free for what will come in the future, so feel free to get a taste without feeling like you're spoiling the excitement of finding out what Tralexium manages in the long run.

While it is true that the fear theme is not present, it is still a nice little game with good level design. Stage 2 was my favorite one from all the 3 stages.

Another phenomenal production by Mattin in his classic style with the Shortventure theme. Dark atmosphere with a castlevania inspired aesthetic filled with twisted enemies and environments. Arguably a lot more linear than many of his previous works, that distinction doesn't hurt the feeling of exploration you get investigating the little world he's created here.
A variety of platforming gimmicks and obstacles keeps things fresh and a few interesting encounters keep this not-so-short shortventure interesting and exciting. This game is very accessible to new players and quite lenient, yet with enough dynamic interactions to still keep a more experienced player engaged - its easily recommendable to anyone who likes adventure games.

Had a really good time playing this, I had few issues with the game but most of them where fault of my bad PC mixed with some of Mattin's coding.
Every part of the game was fantastic, the backtracking is not annoying, which is a great thing because in some metroidvanias I find backtracking tedious. The bosses are not too tough, yet they can be interesting because of the bosses being unique, fun to play, and each boss having a different memorable atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend from newcomers to veteran players.
