so i’ve been planning to write this review for quite some time but i wanted to try and get somewhere in the game before hand. unfortunately this game is so hard i can’t even make it past the first couple of stages…

I Want To Be The Guy is an insane platformer indie game that i saw someone playing in a youtube video walkthough. i decided to download it and try it out and though looking at it makes it seem simple, trying to play it will make you insane. the graphics are 8bit. from what i’ve seen, they borrow a lot from old nes and snes games and a lot of old video game character sprites pop up randomly as bosses. in a way its kind of an homage to games of my childhood.

since i can’t really get anywhere in the game i can’t really write a very good review but i did want to recommend it to my readers because the challenge is kinda fun. the forums even have more games, made by fans of the original that are also as challenging.

since i can’t really get though the game, i’ll leave you with a video of someone playing it on very hard mode so you can see what you’re up against.
