I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie : The Game

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. And trust me, the ENTIRE enviroment really wants to go to such limits to kill The Kid.

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...

Use the L-Shift key to jump. You’re jumping is very controllable. Hold down the jump button to get added height and distance. Also note that at any point of the jump (or even during a fall!) you may hit the jump button again to perform a double jump. Get used to how far you can jump and learn to control yourself in the air. You’ll need those skills to get anywhere in this game. Push the Z button to shoot. You can fire fairly rapidly if you have a fast pointer finger. You shouldn’t have to concern yourself with it but note that you can only have four shots in the air at a time."Q" is Suicide and "R'" is restart.

Do YOU have what it takes to be The Guy?
