I know I wanna be The Guy.

I Wanna Be The Guy is a game in a vein similar to Owata, meant as a tribute to all those old "Nintendo Hard" games you used to play way back when. One-hit deaths and ridiculousness are included.

Good luck getting past the first couple of screens.

I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE GUY!
I tried this with my brother and a friend a few weeks ago, it was stupid hard and the main character was too small...

This game is hilariously random

Hard, but hilariously random.
I mean, who saw that plane coming? I sure didn't XD

I, too, have seen someone play some of it(it was his first play-through too).
His reactions are pretty funny, but not as funny as how they're caused.

The second room with the spikes is driving me nuts.

In the words of Joshua the NORAD AI:

Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Small doses of the Youtube playthroughs can be amusing, though, due to both the various creative ways the game messes with the player and the uploader's reactions to said messing (I'm watching one UltraJMan).

I wonder how the Angry Video Game Nerd would react to I Wanna Be The Guy.

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

I'm downloading this now. I don't even think I can run it, my comp is that bad. D: But if it can, then I'm prepared for frustration. Yay, frustration!
