A downloadable game for Windows
Gaiden is made up mostly of original tiles, though some use Bionic Commando as a reference (for obvious reasons). Sprites were either hand ripped or jacked from The Shy Guy Kingdom or Spriters Resource. Music is from their respected games, ripped from an NSF file. Gaiden uses some remixes.

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.

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 How to run internet download manager on mac.
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. Latest mac os sierra 10.12 iso download. 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.

(THAT'S THREE STARS OUT OF FIVE. I THINK. IDFK. FUCK YOU)
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
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

Kayin, Kayin.. I'm one of the few that actually still holds your original game in a personal Top 5 after more than 200 fangames. The reason why I delayed playing your game so much was because I knew it was short and unfinished. That's the same reason why I delayed playing Make a Sandwich, 8bit and Kill The Guy for so long. The sole idea puts me off greatly. But I knew this was a different case compared to Kill the Guy; that game got released with half a chapter missing, bugged secrets, a whole boss chopped off and the ending missing. Here, more than half the game got released. I assumed, wrongly, that this beta version of your game would lack inspiration given that it lacked inspiration to even be finished.How wrong I was. From the moment one opens your game, a cascade of old-school classics references rain all over, just like in the original, with a fantastic sense of humor. You open the freaking menu screen and there is a wonderful style without overdoing it. You enter Stage 1-1 and visuals are exceptional, with an addicting gameplay. So many things, just like in the original, are planned out so well, reading our innocent minds. You even want to hunt down the secrets for discovering their texts! The first death was so unexpected and you get a freaking award for falling for it. This is the Kayin I remember, a brave independent videogame maker that raised the difficulty bar with this entry.
Did I mention the story? It was so freaking good.
All three stages not only have overwhelming creativity and trolls, but exceptional design. How ironic is that the hundreds of generic visual copies your original game spawned used the same graphics/tilesets/etc. as a sign of respect (and sometimes laziness), but your direct sequel didn't. The graphics are more comparable to GOOD fangames from 2015 onwards. Not only that: each stage is different to the other despite being 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3. We being in Stage 1 was no excuse for making single-styled levels. There was a sense of progression and variety. You weren't afraid of heading towards more modern directions visually and gameplay-wise, featuring a somewhat faulty Bionic-Commando-like gimmick that you get used to almost near what is the ending of this game.
And then, featuring a wonderful cutscene promising an ace adventure in the most faithful NES/SNES tradition, it stops. The story stops. The creativity stops. The variety and suspense stop. Everything stops.
This was a gigantic waste of potential, one that hurts playing through once you stumble upon what is a tragically unfinished project rather than a project that was out there just 'because', and then the creator decided to leave it unfinished just 'because'. In an alternate universe, there is a great game waiting for us; in that universe, this game is complete and became the example for Rukimin, Marathon, Kill The Guy and heck, even HeavenTrap 1 and 2. However, we were chosen to live in this sad universe, even if beating the first boss promises us to gain unimaginable power if we beat all bosses, including what would have been, with no room for doubts, one of the most memorable fangame final boss fights featuring The Kid against The Guy in a definitive fight. Maybe that sounded too good to be true, though.. Even if this game also sins of being too cryptic at times, this could have been a 2010 legend along with Boshy.
People, we will never have this complete, and it is such a big shame. I do recommend it if you can go beyond the pain, if you're one of those people that can actually sit in front of a great movie, watch it, leave it unfinished and be OK with it even if you don't ever finish it. I'm not that kind of people :'(
