Title: IWBTG - I Wanna Be The Guy - Hardest 8-Bit game?
Post by: Oni-Link on February 07, 2009, 07:29:20 PM
So I found this game out from MasterPenguin and Gamer4250 (http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/) and it had a Megaman style game, and probably pointed toward the first one, since it's really hard. I gave up on the first level. In Medium mode, the only difference from Hard mode is that you get a PURDY BOWTIE. It is fun, if you get through the levels. There are characters from
Mega Man
Mario
Metroid
Punch Out!
Zelda
Ghosts 'n Goblins
Street Fighter
Castlevania
Tetris

If anyone has played this, let me know.

P.S. : Try beating it on Impossible Mode. @.@

Wow, the game is terribly hard. o_o
I can't even go past the first level. o.O
I've made it to the bottom of the second screen... but this stupid moving block alsways moves to some weird places and I always fall down. v.v
I think I should put some transparency on my screen and mark the places were the block appears... then I'd always know where to jump next. xD

EDIT: Yay! I've reached the balcony but then the bad guy killed me... -.-
EDIT²: Wow I just reached the second level! :D

Yeah people do get through it eventually. But still, reeeeeally hard.

Actually Medium mode gets you extra save points that say "WUSS" and you get the bowtie.

So I've made it all the way to Mecha Birdo, who is a pain in the ass.  I've got all the way to the final stage of the battle and damaged him a bunch, but I died from the front of one of the missiles :(

I haven't had time to play it though, so in a few more tries I could probably get it.

Uh, I just watched some videos about the game at youtube and realized that there are several ways to play the game... for example... At the begining, I went down to the bottom of the screen, then to the plattform at the right, through the pseudo bossfight and now I'm at this terrible place with the blocks that move up or down when you touch them... but it's also possible to jump up at the begining and then pass some apple trees... Does anyone know if there's a difference between the two ways? Do they lead you to different endings?

I know there is no different ending, but I think everyone has a different opinion on which way to go.

If you go up, you fight Mike Tyson, Mecha Birdo, then Dracula.  Afterwards you get to the Temple of the Guy, which requires you to have fought all 6 bosses.  There are two sides to the entrance, one from the lower path, one from the upper path.  There's a teleporter to the beginning on each side.  It really doesn't matter which path you take.

So I played a bunch more, beat Mecha Birdo, then beat Dracula.  Dracula is actually really easy, as long as you can practice dodging his attacks.  He barely has any health.  I'm at the few frames before the Hulk/Mr. T boss guy, right where the moving spike wall is after the Tetris area.

Oh my god this game is insane. Right now I'm facing this giant green thing that kinda looks like the Hulk. He's hard.

Very addicting

Protip:  Press k like crazy as soon as you activate the shaking in the room.

Oh so I'm at the Clown Copter with Bowser, Wart, Dr. Wily.

And my friend IS the guy.

Dayum.

:D I know.  You can always go back to the Room of Divine Transportation if you want to actually fight him.

STATUS REPORT.

So I've beat everyone except the dragon guy.  Just beat Mother Brain and have to escape the place.  Fuck this part.

I guess I'll put a status report up too, even though I haven't gotten much farther.

I'm at the Metroid part where you shoot the walls and dodge the fireball things. I haven't played in awhile.

Hahaha, Mother Brain.  She's a bitch until you figure out the trick that makes her easy.

I tried the demo and I can't even get past the second room. I probably could figure it out but I have much more important things too do.

It's actually really simple once you figure it out.  Nice job trying to make yourself sound superior by saying this game is too good for you.  Oh wait, that doesn't make you look good at all.

Yeah I figured that. I just find games like this kind of annoying and when I can't beat them ultimately get kind of pissed. Much harder than Megaman.

Yeah this is one of the games that has those really simple parts that can be so annoying that you'll smash your keyboard like the angry German kid.

I downloaded it today. Awesome but hard. Got up to the 5th frame.

I was so frikin' happy once I got on the ledge at the end of the second frame, I decided to stand Mega Man-style in the middle of the third frame.

I got Gutsman'd. XD

I got to this total pain in the ass evil 3 frame spike tunnel that spawns platforms at a continuously faster rate.  I got to the last frame then died.

AGH.
