IWBTG or I wanna be the guy is an EPIC and very frustrating puzzle/side scroller. You are The Kid and you have to make your way through levels of pure madness. Prepare to spend an hour just on the first level. You get one life per run and you die a horrible death if you get owned.
Everything as you perceive it to be is probably wrong. If you think you can jump onto that platform, guess what, once you do… you will probably die. You think you are safe in that corner? WHAM! You just got crushed by giant spikes. And so on, and so on.
People email me saying I don’t post enough Time Wasters… well to all of you who complain, enjoy. I’ll see you in like 3 months because this game is the most addicting time consuming thing I have ever posted. It is built fabulously and really pays homage to the 80’s/90’s side scroller.
Here is the description from the website.
I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game is a sardonic loveletter to the halcyon days of early American videogaming, packaged as a nail-rippingly difficult platform adventure. Players fill the role of The Kid, a youthful, vaguely Megaman-esque protagonist on a quest to become The Guy. This inscrutable plot, however, is just a vehicle for a wide variety of inventive, well-designed and frustrating jump-and-shoot challenges that pay homage to many of the games you loved as a child. The ever-fragile Kid explodes in a shower of red pixels at the slightest brush from the game’s many obstacles, from traditional spikes and bottomless pits to more unconventional killers, such as plantlife and puzzle pieces.
Using a multi route layout not unlike a Metroidvania, the game grants a degree of deadly exploration, without those extraneous upgrades meant to make life easier. The game provides players with a choice in terms of their death rate, thanks to a variable difficulty setting that changes the number of save points from frequent to nonexistent. IWBTG is open to all players; knowledge of video gaming history is optional, and may not help against the frequently ironic and always sadistic deathtraps located herein. And so, the question is left up to you…
Do YOU have what it takes to be The Guy?
So yeah, all that noise. This game rules you. You vs. this game… you are fail. Download the game directly by clicking here.
