I Wanna Be The Guy

Here's the deal: I wanna be The Guy. The problem is, the current Guy is a psychotic death-monger with a mind-boggling array of devious traps, all of which instantly kill you. There are also a bunch of towering bosses who will kill you dead.

For some reason, my copy of the game has stopped counting my deaths, with a current total of 230. Considering that I've only played the game for 6 hours, (sort of) that means I've died an average of once every 1.5 minutes. Before you consider how often that is, I want to make it clear that I've died much, much more than that. It's just that the game stopped keeping track. I would be surprised if my actual average lifespan was more than thirty seconds.

The following screenshot tells you a lot about the game.




  1. The game loves old Nintendo games.
  2. The game is pretty funny.
  3. If you compare Mike Tyson's size to your own, it gives a good estimation of the difficulty of the game.
I wanted to post this when I had become The Guy, but I had to be realistic, and I want to mention this before the end of this century.

Ok: one of the bosses is Mike Tyson. There are other bosses like Dracula from Castlevania and stuff like that.

Nope. It just steals stuff from old games like punch-out.
