I wanna be the guy!

Post by dlmvii »

Has anyone ever heard of this game?
I can't believe it took me so long to stumble across it. It's a platformer reminiscent of old nes titles, except it's hard. Really really fucking hard. Like you will die 1000+ times more than likely on your first playthru.
But even with the difficulty, it's still incredibly enjoyable. There's save points every two screens or so, so dying doesnt mean that much to do again. And there are tie ins to other classc games, like a mega man level, castlevania level, tetris level, etc.

It's at http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

I finally beat the first boss, a combination of Bowser, Wart, and Wiley, currently at 72 deaths :)

Yeah, I'd think most of us have at least heard of it.

I haven't really played it, but have it. I get more fun out of subjecting my friends to it and watching their reactions.

I get more fun by watching others die on youtube. The death riff is hilarious. I also love the Castlevania dialog rip-off.

I'd never heard of it but watching some of the clips on youtube.
Wow I've never seen a game that wants you dead so badly.
