I Wanna Be The Guy - "It's free! Only costs your sanity!" - Games

Copy and Paste of a thread from 08, figured FP needed some rage. [quote]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 multiroute layout not unlike a Metroidvania, the game grants a degree of deadly exploration, without those extraneous upgades meant to make life easier. The game provides players with a choice in terms of their deathrate, 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 videogaming 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?[/quote] That's the first thing you see on this main page. This game is HARD. I mean HARD. There is lots of saves and unlimited lives, but the goal is to beat the six bosses and then become "The Guy". I have beaten this game multiple times and I can say I enjoyed every second of it. You can take three paths at the start, but only one or two of them seem obvious. When you feel like giving up on this game, relax, come back to it later. You have all the time you need to do this! This game is also long. It can take a few hours to complete on your first few tries. Don't think you can do it in one sitting on your first try. [i](Even your first screens, you have to get used to it)[/i] Oh yeah, and this game has tons of NES References. Take a look at some of the screenshots.

Enjoy [i](Hopefully)[/i] and good luck!

I can play the first two or three screens with my eyes closed, I've played this so much.

Beaten this game countless times. Once on Very Hard mode. Great game, worth playing. Download it now. [editline]12:10AM[/editline] First time I beat the game I had 2366 deaths

I love this game

its not hard, its justl ike HAHA there was a trap there. its about frustration, not skills (for the most part)

The game is about pissing you off as much as possible without quitting the game.

i would very much like to become the guy

I've only made it as far as to Mother Brain on the secret route on Hard difficulty. I can't do more after that.

Is this one of those "be as difficult as possible" games? I hate "be as difficult as possible" games.

[QUOTE=_Sniper_;18760911]Is this one of those "be as difficult as possible" games? I hate "be as difficult as possible" games.[/QUOTE] Actually it's more like one of those "be as impossible as possible" games.

[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;18764006] "be as impossible as possible" games.[/QUOTE] Dear god, what have you done to my brain?

[QUOTE=_Sniper_;18760911]Is this one of those "be as difficult as possible" games? I hate "be as difficult as possible" games.[/QUOTE] Imagine being shot, stabbed, frozen, burned, drowned, tortured, beat, and poisoned at the same time, now compress that into flash game form and multiply it by 10. That is IWTBTG.

OP stole my line :argh: [QUOTE=PartyPancake;16314185]You're right, it costs your sanity. Other than that it's free.[/QUOTE] Bam, there's some proof.

I just beat Mike Tyson again. Man, I love this game.

Cleared it countless of times, spent more than 200 hours playing it (Yes, I'm addicted :D) Right now I'm trying to beat the castle of the guy withouth any deaths. It's hard.. my record so far is to the end of The Tower of The Guy.

Well I am stuck on the second screen. I just fall?

[QUOTE=kizza55;18768645]Well I am stuck on the second screen. I just fall?[/QUOTE] Tip, on the first screen, don't go down, go up.

[QUOTE=kizza55;18768645]Well I am stuck on the second screen. I just fall?[/QUOTE] In the beginning go up instead of down. It's a bit easier. ninja'd

I feel so ridiculously stupid now.

Played this once, couldn't figure out what to do, deleted.
