I wanna be the guy!

curtmax_0 · 2009-01-23T11:03:39

A friend recently introduced me to a terrible, terrible game called I wanna be the guy! This game is.... hands down the hardest game I have ever played. Just a preview (shamelessly ripped from wikipedia): Did I mention that everything instantly turns you into a giant bloodsplosion? Even delicious fruit kills you. Seriously. I'm only about 5 or 6 screens into the game after playing for ~6 hours. I've never had a game pull me into it like this. It's so hard that it forces you to play, or the game wins. I can't stand the game winning. At night I hear it's voice calling me, and I fruitlessly try to finish the part I'm stuck on for the next 4 hours. Anybody else play this game ever? More importantly, has anyone else ever beaten the game?

Love the game, hate the bugs. That game is pure, positively unrefined masochism. I've actually introduced a few friends with addictive personalities to it before, as well, for the lulz. [smile]

Hehe. That is one thing about this. Some of the youtube videos for this game are pretty hilarious.

If you like this I wholeheartedly recommend: Syoban Action Little easier to get through but I find that makes it better since you actually get to see all the bastardly ways it screws with you. And there are many.

Finished it and loved every second while swearing at it every second second.

Is the creator ripping art from older games? I'm tired, but isn't the cannon/bullets exactly the same as in a few Mario games?

The music is from games too. The sections are kind of themed as well.

There is a Zelda section, for example (also the 'intro' after the title is Zeldaish). It even has the room with the old man and the sword. Except, well, if you jump into the sword you die, and it says something like "YOU JUMPED INTO A SWORD YOU RETARD!"

That level was genius. [lol]

I just spent an hour trying to get that stupid scrotum-faced cat across a flagpole.

I am feeling much wrath.
