At the end of each stage is an oversized boss who must be defeated in order to progress. IWBTG is made up of several stages split up into many screens, which are usually pastiches of well known NES games like Tetris, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Legend of Zelda, Mega Man and Metroid. Now "Young Boy" goes to defeat "The Guy" and become "The Guy" with his gun pass handed down by former "Grandfather the Guy". a child left home on his dangerous and epic quest to become The Guy! Many years ago, "The Guy" left world and retreat to "Dungeon of Doom". The player takes on the role of "The Kid," who is on a mission to become "The Guy." The entirety of the plot is given in a rather cryptic message during the opening credits, a parody of bad Japanese translations and broken English in early NES games. Like many of the traditional games that IWBTG parodies, the game's plot is straightforward and does not heavily impact gameplay.

4.1 I Wanna Be The Guy - Kraidgief/Zangkraid.The game is created with Multimedia Fusion 2. The game is best known for its incredibly difficult platforming elements and its unorthodox level design. The game is an adventure platform game and is designed in the style of 8-bit videogames. I Wanna Be the Guy: The Movie: The Game (abbreviated IWBTG) is a freeware videogame first released in October 2007 by Mike "Kayin" O'Reilly, but is still under development as of June 2008 (making it a beta release). It's quite the thing.Windows 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 or 98 operating system, 200 Mhz Pentium processor or higher, 32 Mb RAM (256 Mb for XP, Vista and 7 Oh, try setting a save file to easy mode. Honestly, though, that's pretty much in line with I Wanna Be The Guy's general "thwart players at every conceivable turn" philosophy, so maybe it was. The restart key (which will quickly become your best friend) stopped working entirely for me a couple times, so I had to reboot the whole game. Bing! They are clearly not altogether there in the head.Īlso, a quick word of warning: Gaiden's still pretty glitchy. I know of people who've devoted countless blood, sweat, and tear-stained hours to conquering this series' gleefully masochistic gauntlet of trial-and-error, but they also eat hardware stores for breakfast, play barefoot hopscotch on rows of shattered glass, and use Bing instead of Google. Joy comes not from success (because hahahahaha, you think that's actually possible), but from giggling at the fact that something so absurdly unfair can even exist. My headline was not hyperbole: this game hates you.įor most, then, it's a novelty. At any given moment, anything in the world can and will defy physics, logic, and any other forces that might keep the universe in balance for the sole purpose of doing you grievous bodily harm. So basically, it's a platformer that takes sprites from your most fondly remembered games of yore and then mercilessly - and you may not have seen this one coming - kills you with them. I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden is, of course, a pseudo-sequel to comically difficult Internet sensation I Wanna Be The Guy. It killed me again when I made it past that part and a purple army man shot me. It killed me again when I tried to leap between the platform and the fish. It killed me again when I finally made it past the fish, only to be crushed by a platform mere centimeters away. It killed me again when I tried to leap over a barrel - with the same fish as the time before I started the first level. It killed me again when I finally managed to leap on top of that platform.

It killed me again with a sudden burst of fire when I tried to hop over a barrel in the first level. It killed me again when I tried to walk under a platform in the first level. It killed me again before I touched solid ground in the first level. It killed me again when I tried to start the first level. I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden killed me with a fish before I started the first level.
