This review is purely based on the campaign, the editor and custom level portion of the game is fantastic but in usual Maker fashion simultaneously a one out of ten and a ten out of ten.

I Wanna Maker's campaign is incredibly solid. It uses itself as an introduction to all of the potential mechanics and interactions you can find in the editor. While it does this it also hosts a decent sized fangame that's designed for new players to get into the subgenre. On that front, I can do nothing but appreciate what Maker does for fangames on an incredible level.

Each world of Maker has a specific theme which are all pretty great, hosting their own specific mechanics and using them to an interesting degree. The worlds have around 5-7 levels each with their own distinct premise and nearly all of them are quite fun. Each world also ends with a unique boss fight to round out the kind of fangame moments one can experience. The bosses in Maker's campaign are particularly good too, especially the final boss which uses the medium of a Maker game to make a unique, innovative, and impressive finale.

If you've never played a fangame before, start here and enjoy the journey you'll embark on. The ride never stops...
