Downloads for I Wanna be the Guy and I Wanna be the Guy: Gaiden. While both ask you to pay to download them, if it's your first time I suggest putting in a zero (though if you want to pay anyways, I won't stop you!). If IWBTG has given you a good time in the past and you're feeling generous, please feel free to throw a few dollars my way.
I Wanna be the Guy is a game about subversion. It's also a humor driven game. Predicting a players actions perfectly as to maximize surprise and humor/frustration is a way a game can have good level design. The level design is accomplishing it's goal and doing so quite well. The ultimate fangame Co-op experience. Meet with various characters from famous game licences across 4 stages and fight tons of epic bosses. I wanna be the Guy is the root of many fangames, and this is clearly seen. It's the root of the fangames with required secrets that are unreasonably hard to find (Dracula's path; fake walls). It's the root of the fangames with huge amounts of flying spikes at the same save. But it's also the root of the fangames with good, creative traps. I can be of some help, from someone that has beaten the game. In IWBTG, only 4. Bullets are allowed to be on the screen at one instance. This has to deal with how the.
A downloadable game for Windows
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.
Using a multiroute layout not unlike a Metroidvania, the game grants a degree of deadly exploration, without thoseextraneous 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..
Do YOU have what it takes to be The Guy?

Avoiding Crashes
While IWBTG is a buggy game, over the years the community has figured out how to better cope with it's various problems. This information is copied from the IWBTG RTA speedrunning wikia ( http://iwbtgrta.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page )To deal with random crashes..
Right-click IWBTG -> Properties -> Compatibility Tab -> Run in Windows 98 Mode -> Run as Administrator
This is generally takes care of most crashes but there are still a number of predictable ones.
There are 4 spots in the game where it is guaranteed to crash upon hitting 'R' (reset) even with the above fix. Fortunately there is a workaround thanks to Fate (formerly known as Kiyomi_) on Twitch! Hit F2 for New Game and reload your save file to avoid them.Save -> F2 -> Reload Save FileDo this on the Save Points following:
- The Mecha Birdo fight
- Dr. Wily, 2 screens over, where the drones shoot at you
- Mother Brain's red orb (same screen as above)
- The first save on the cart ride to The Guy's Fortress
Optimally, you should just hit F2 instead of 'R' upon death following these screens.
Fortunately you will not lose progress on these crashes. so even if you forget to avoid them you will be okay, outside of a minor inconvenience.

Fantastic classic. The controls are perfect, easy and simple to move and make precise jumps. Press right, go to the right, press left, go to the left. No speedups or unneeded sporks like in most platformers. To that, a small and a pleasant to play with hitbox.The spikes and cherries play a giant part in this game. Best part is the ending when you meet the final boss The Guy, i beat him and i am The Guy now!
In humor, this game still holds up to me. So far i beat this on hard, boshy on hardon, and am playing kamilia 2. This gave birth to a whole new genre of games! These games are mostly trial and error. Ultimate skill test.
Oh my god the guy from spy kids!?

Just kidding. . .But is it?
Why is my game broken? No sounds or music plays, wait, the game is an 2007, it should have BEEN fixed! Maybe an 2019 edition?

The game is and will for the forseeable future remain unupdated Unfortunately the game does not function correctly in modern versions of MMF2 so even minor updates would require a huge overhaul. This might happen one day, but no time soon.
That said, this is an old problem that some people have experienced. You can try checking this thread. http://kayin.moe/iwbtg/forums/index.php?topic=366.0 also making sure you try setting things like windows compatibility mode or whatever.
If you donated to download the game and none of this works, please don't hesistate to ask itch for a refund as I can't promise any future support for the game. That said I hope it works and I hope you have fun with it! I'm sorry I can't behelpful.
IT'S THE GREATEST AND MOST BEST GAME EVER MADE. UNFORTUNATELY IT ALSO TOTALLY SUCKS.

Well uh.. This is the game that has the massive fangaming community behind it's back. This isn't that great of a game, but it's fantastic for it's time. This is also the game that made me start my carrier as a game developer. 6/10
I Wanna Be The Guy For Mac
And it's easy to put stuff on itch and it's not on peoples radars as much. Steam is asking for trouble, while with itch, if they decide to take it down it's not that big of a deal. SO YEAH NO STEAM PEOPLE
