Right now, the running tally is: 657.
The actual number of people who have beaten the game may be higher than this, but I cannot get an accurate count unless all those who have defeated the guy post here to confirm the numbers. Please note that I may have accidentally miscounted, so if any of you notice a discrepancy between the count and the actual numbers, please notify me via PM (EDIT: FYNDR is no longer updating this thread. If you see a mistake, send a PM to SilentLoner (http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=10006) instead). To make things more interesting, post how you reacted when you beat the game and/or how much you hate, hate, HATE The Guy's giant head form, or whatever else you feel is relevant or awe-inspiring.

Until I reached the third pattern, I didn't even notice the area at the top. I used a safe spot to get past the second pattern. After I took out the giant head I kept on my guard and barely blinked through the credits 'til the very end. I kinda regret doing that now for some reason. I think I like sudden shocks, 'cause I enjoyed the little surprise at the end of Maximum Carnage for the SNES. Then after that, my next thought was to try a Very Hard clear.

my reaction to beating the guy was THAT WAS SO MUCH FUCKING EASIER WHEN HE'S NOT SHOOTING HIS SPINNING MACHINE GUN LASER BEAM EYES DURING HIS FINAL FORM. ALSO STOP SLACKING OFF AND FINISH THE REST OF THE ENDING.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd much rather see the spinning machine gun rather than the burning floor, even if it is harder.

hahaha no, this was spinning machine gun WITH burning floor.
Needless to say, I never beat him while activating this glitch, and eventually realized that my own skills were causing me grief. Basically, at first, you could shoot The Guy's eyes while the machine gun lasers were spinning. If you knocked out both of them before he completed the rotation, it went straight to his third form, burning floor and all, and the lasers kept turning. It wasn't until I STOPPED killing the hell out of his eyes during that phase that I realized I'd been doing it wrong the entire time and Kayin wasn't just fucking with me.

Then finally on impossible mode, this game is good at crushing your ego....but you haven't had it crushed untill you make it to the final boss, get to his final form and get one hit away from killing him and die right there.
I finally beat impossible mode, after 6 days of non-stop trying.

I'm very serious, it wasn't non-stop playing tho, I did have to take breaks for eatting, sleeping, etc, etc, etc.
I'm still not sure how exactly how I did it, all I know is it costed me my sanity, and maybe my soul.
BTW, great game you made, I can't wait to see what the finished version of it is like. Any idea when it will be released?
Post by: Kayin on December 27, 2007, 07:49:41 pm
Also holy shit thats amazing. Did the ending generate a save file? I haven't even considered what would happen.
Post by: MetaSeraphim on December 27, 2007, 08:02:24 pm
No clue. It won't just be a released 'HEY GUYS FULL VERSION' deal as much as it will be just general slow polishing and additions.
Also holy shit thats amazing. Did the ending generate a save file? I haven't even considered what would happen.
Nope, after the ending I looked to see if anything changed and there was nothing but a blank file, the game just ended like it always does.

Post by: Knight on December 28, 2007, 11:26:26 pm
With the exception of the glitches on the final boss (spinning machine guns, etc), it's one of the best boss fights I've seen. I didn't like the glass killing you when it breaks. haha. good stuff, though.
Post by: Wyatt on December 30, 2007, 06:42:50 pm
Game beaten on hard mode 'cause medium is for wusses (I never even tried playing it), and very hard is overly sadistic (What's the big idea not leaving in the save point next to the active missile after Mecha Birdo? I think it's impressive enough of a feat to get past two anulled save points, leaving a boss at the end, without dying; forcing the player to do a random timing challenge that's almost impossible to succeed at without repeating it is just unnecessary).
I can safely say that I haven't gotten this much enjoyment out of a game since Cave Story. Level design was brilliant; I didn't think I could ever die so much at the same stuff over and over without flipping out. Good job, Kayin, at programming a great game, and good luck for any that you decide to make in the future.
Post by: Jish on December 30, 2007, 07:08:26 pm
While I'm on the subject, I think Very Hard needs some reworking. The stretch from the Ghosts n Goblins segment to Birdo's red orb thing is ridiculously hard, yet nothing else has posed THAT much of a challenge.
If you're taking suggestions, I think you should put the save point before Birdo back in, but keep the one in the missile room afterwards out. And there are a few other save points that could be removed for added challenge without making it too terrible. For example...
- The screen with the little pond you have to jump into after the Tyson fight
- Room of Divine Transport
- The cloud screen (the second one on the upper path)
- The "oh sweet god" room with all the spikes and the slowly moving platform (this one is debatable, but there is a save in the room immediately afterwards that SHOULD stay, so...)
- The screen after the really long disappearing blocks segment (which leads to the Palace warp)
There might be a couple in the Palace that are up for criticism, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Post by: Wyatt on December 31, 2007, 03:00:22 pm
I'm going to have to disagree, however, with putting in the save before birdo, AND with leaving out the one after. Beating Birdo after all the stuff before it gave me an insanely large sense of accomplishment, and honestly, it's not even really that hard. But the save afterwards should still be there, because it's just irritating to have to get through a luck-based challenge when failing means having to go spend a while to get back.
Post by: Kayin on December 31, 2007, 03:28:31 pm
Post by: Wyatt on January 02, 2008, 11:55:17 pm
- The cloud screen (the second one on the upper path)
Isn't this one already removed?
- The "oh sweet god" room with all the spikes and the slowly moving platform (this one is debatable, but there is a save in the room immediately afterwards that SHOULD stay, so...)
This one should be implemented regardless of whether or not you take the suggestion I'm about to make. That suggestion is to remove the save at the bottom of the tower, and put the one in the middle of the tower back in.
- The screen after the really long disappearing blocks segment (which leads to the Palace warp)
I'm guessing you didn't know this when you posted, but The Path to The Guy's Fortress has no saves until right before the boss. However, I do agree that those two save points before and after the block room don't both need to be there, so I propose that the one before that segment be removed.
EDIT: Woah, I didn't realize that there was an entire thread about this in the suggestions forum. In order to make this post not a complete waste, I'll mention that I became the guy again, but on Very Hard mode.
I'd also like to note that both times that I did beat the guy, I didn't get his portrait in the bottom right corner. I can't figure out why this is, but I'll note that I dodged the cherry in the end credits both times, and I died after landing the final blow on the guy one of the times.
Post by: RMSephy on January 03, 2008, 12:35:13 pm
I couldn't get the guy's portrait to show up on my save file though. Do I have to beat it on hard or let the apple hit me in the credits to make it show up? :(
Though almost everything else was, the spinning machine guns weren't that hard, considering it only moves counterclockwise and *especially* considering there's a blind spot on the top where his bullets can never hit.

Although, the game seemed to lose its touch in some sections, such as Mother Brain. It was almost as if your original intention was to make an absolutely unpredictably hard game where memorization was the only key to victory, but later you fell into a more 'hardcore' but fair gameplay style.

Took me a lot longer in the castle of the guy. I must have hit every debug hotkey on my way through, taking hours to actually realize what I'm doing. That whole area was spoilertastic, including seeing a brief glimpse of the ending during the elevator ride over and over again.

Okay, now I'm the guy on very hard mode too. I find it ironic how much of The Guy I am for being a girl. Woo. Screenshot or it didn't happen, or something. Beaten in RC2, except for the ghouls and ghosts area, where I was nice and masochistic and played the non-testing version. On the bright side, that means I have a mostly accurate death count.
Post by: Lovage on January 27, 2008, 11:50:51 pm
I'd say mabye 450-600 deaths, 1 broken keyboard stand, 5-6 hours spent on the Guy. I got so...so discouraged during this. I kept going downstairs to my friends and procaliming "FUCK the Guy, I'm so over this game" yet 10 minutes after that I would go back upstairs and fail another 80 times. I didn't care about being The Guy anymore yet something inside me made me keep trying. I hated this game so much in my head, I didn't care anymore, but inside...I needed to keep trying. And as of 7:54 PM PST, Sunday, January 27th, 2008. I am... THE GUY [on hard] :)

Re: OP, I love The Guy's giant head form. It's his normal form I hate, because it takes so friggin long to kill to get to the giant head form! =(
All night long my friends wouldn't stop trivializing the fact that I beat him, either :P Don't know a good challenge when they see one. Kayin, I love you for making this game, it was the most fun I've had with a video game in a long, long time. I will buy a shirt or two after I make some money, I just bought books for a new semester of college and I still need to buy more =(
Cheers <3
Oops, edit, I did it on medium. I have a very hard save on an old client, I'm working on doing it over again on beta1rc2. The graveyard owns me; I had a lot of trouble with both the spikes moving up and down (the last jump) and timing the jump to the moving platform on the screen above. Just because of those two things, I think I'm going to start over again to hopefully keep my death count down where it ought to be.
Edit 2, I read the thread. The spinning machine gun fire was easy when I finally noticed that

I've also got a bug to report. When I killed the guy, a fireball hit me. The game kept going as if I had never died.
So technically I'm not the guy, but I've got the clear file and I'm working on bossrush right now.

I BEAT THE GUY!
Finally, after 3 days of being stuck on The Guy, I got him. I could say my # of deaths, but it's embarrassingly high.
*Cackles insanely*
Thank you.

Today I got mother brain, then went all the way through the guy's mansion. I actually got really freaked out in Lu Bu's room- i'm playing on medium, bowser room was annoying for me... I was freaking out, no save, not even a wuss save point. But I made it on my first try! I was so lucky, but it made my day.

Welcome to guyhood jpatt!
thanks :)
I got the game 3 days ago and beat the guy however i died alot of times because i was rushing through and i died at the end of the credits due to a glitch and the guys face isnt reconized on my game so how do i fix the problem because i dont want to fight him agian lol hes to hard for me i managed to beat him by sure luck and some skill the white things arent so bad to dogde but when you get to the 3rd final fight when he shoots them off alot and you have to jump to the other side to beat him had given me alot of trouble :P :kid:
<:fruit: <:spikes:= hurt like hell
i had the same problem. unfortunately you're still gonna have to beat the buy again. Just press and hold E,N,D in the room where the evil save point is then beat him again and you should get the guys portrait.

Post by: Michael Maverick on February 28, 2008, 03:37:36 pm
Anyway, I'm glad to have made it. The first time I heard discussions about this game and saw the screenshots, I didn't believe I could ever possibly beat it. Not after several other people who I know to be good gamers said they couldn't even get past the first few screens, lol. Just got it on a whim with the assumption that I'd immediately delete it after experiencing utter defeat, but watching all the YouTube videos was fun and the game itself got pretty addictive with time. Progressing through the game made me realize that what the people here said was the truth, that none of the sequences is impossible and that after practicing/thinking things through, you can master obstacles you'd never believe to be able to master as a gamer. While I might have used the help a walkthrough here and there, I played through the majority of the game myself.
I have to say, though, that while The Guy was without a doubt the most enjoyable boss in the whole game, he wasn't even remotely as hard as I imagined/perceived him to be. The fight against him is fairly simple once you get the hang of it, and the only really harsh part is, indeed, the 3rd phase of his final form. You have to time your attacks incredibly well in that one, since it's almost beyond human capability to successfully dodge all the projectiles coming at you at that moment, and it gets annoying after having to replay the whole battle numerous times again. Oh well, still a worthy final opponent. On a laughable note, I'm also one of those who happened to die in the exact moment when he fell. I knew that kind of scene from Cloud's vids already, though, so I exploded with joy instead of rage. =) Also, carefully remembered to avoid the final apple at the very end.
All in all, it was an extremely fun game, and as said, the experience of playing it was definetely worth it, although I might have wasted a few precious hours with repeatedly dying at some places. But that's part of the whole deal, too. I don't plan on playing the game on higher difficulties or anything, as you can clearly see just HOW much I suck (didn't look around here too much and I'm just curious, but did ANYONE actually have a HIGHER death-count than I on Medium and finish it...?).
I'd just like to conclude this long rant with saying that I fully support any sequels or further expansions this game might have in the future, and I look forward to trying them out.
A big Thank You to Kayin and everyone who contributed on creating the game, and of course to you guys and all those who put their playthrough vids on YouTube, as well.
P.S. - I apologize for just bumping in and immediately starting to ramble without introducing myself first, if anyone here has hard feelings about it.
Post by: dsk on February 29, 2008, 12:28:33 pm
Quote
an official death-count of 2915 (which is strange, since I clearly remember having 2912 when reaching The Guy, and I'm pretty sure I died 70 or so times when fighting him...I know this happened to Cloud as well, not certain if it's common)That's pretty normal, death-counter is known of being bugged.

Finished with a Death count of 1285 and a playtime of 3:58:30 on Hard. Although thats not counting the hours/100's of deaths that weren't on save due to crashing or me smashing my computer in frustration.
I had the hardest time just getting through his third phase where you have to reflect the bullets, about this time I think my shift key started to go out on me and performing a jump when I needed it the most became more difficult.

16 days, thousands of game crashes, and one save file wipe later, I've become The Guy!
Great, great game. Despite being incredibly evil, it was a really fun game to play. Just the sheer randomness of it all. There was something new and different on EVERY single screen of the game, whether it was Ryu, or a plane that appeared from nowhere to blast you to smithereens.
The one complaint I have would be the G&G section. That bit with the moving spikes was just a massive difficulty spike (heh pun). I didn't like that much.
Still, absolutely superb. I've also got all 6 of the secret items! :kid:
I'll have to do this on hard at some point.

edit: I'm really pissed, I beat him 3 times with the same result. Obviously it's the lag...During the cutscene the trees are overlapping and the above cutscenes are never finishing. For example it never shows the snifit with delicious fruit, never shows the Horrible hawks, never shows scrooge mcduck and the metroids and so on. And my guy never even gets past the "HOME" sign.

wtf, I just beat the guy but his face isn't showing up on my save file....<___<Just open up the file and hold the three keys E, N, D and it will take you to the credits.
edit: I'm really pissed, I beat him 3 times with the same result. Obviously it's the lag...During the cutscene the trees are overlapping and the above cutscenes are never finishing. For example it never shows the snifit with delicious fruit, never shows the Horrible hawks, never shows scrooge mcduck and the metroids and so on. And my guy never even gets past the "HOME" sign. It goes back to the file select before he even gets home...Could someone give me a save with completing the game. >>

Btw why does the boss portraits look discolored?
Post by: Elman on March 18, 2008, 01:09:24 pm
(Yes, that's 2831 deaths there. Probably about 300 of them during the final fight, and 300-400 against Mother Brain. And I still loved it. The 2nd save was just made to show the Tetris level to a friend xD But I might replay this in Hard, eventually)
That was one of the best games I've ever played. It was just brilliant. I didn't really get frustrated (Except a few times I nearly killed The Guy or Mother Brain, but failed), and had a lot of fun. Awesome job, Kaiyin ^^

Thx, that looks sorta like my file except my time was much higher.

Thank you for this challenge, Kayin. I enjoyed becoming one of the few...
~THE GUYs~
I gotta say the minecart portion was the best part of the game, despite its many glitches~
The hardest part of the game for me was the Metroid section... literally over 1,000 deaths came from defeating Mother Brain.
Although now that I have beaten the game, I forget how I came to find out about it! Oh well.

There. I am. The Guy. Didn't find any of the secrets. Don't care. I am now going to delete this game and pretend it never existed, and if I ever feel the urge to play it again I'll just smash my head off the wall for an hour. It'll be just as painful but at least it won't take as long.
Seriously though, Kayin? You are a truly fantastic level designer and if you ever decide to create a game that people want to play to completion because it's fun rather than out of a combination of sheer bloody-mindedness and masochism (although that's only speaking for myself) then I'll be back like a shot. Until then, sayonarra.

Well on the Very hard run I got through lucky many a time. When I went through the upper path of Guy Industries Tower, I got the whole thing, including the hellish spike maze in I think 2 tries.
As well as the whole post-Tyson part up until the first very hard GnG save.
A lot of luck, but I'm proud of it. :D

Actually I beat the guy yesterday after something like 50 tries and was so happy and tired that I rubbed my face then my hands while watching the credits. Then the apple began to drop and my girlfriend asked me if I shouldn't move... My brain was so... "liquidified" that I only had the thought of moving, but I was too late and I've just watched how dumb I died :D
I retried almost 50other times before renouncing and going to sleep.
But today, I beat him after the third try. ^^
Anyway, the SLOWMO is sometimes so slow that it's very difficult to time the pattern, and the FS was so "sharp" that sometimes I die avoiding attacks while I'm just close of it... :-\ Kayin should work on that.
At the end, I had a great fun playing this game, and I'm waiting a IWBTG 2 while trying to beat the Very Hard mode :p
Ps :
-Beaten the game in Medium (yeah I'm a pussy, but i'll do the very hard to be a real guy :p)
-1680 deaths
-7h40m
-Looked at the solution for this parts :
-How to beat Zangief (because I thought it was buggy)
-Where Tyson is (But I already tried to jump on the platform with the spikes but I mysteriously died the two times I tried (maybe the FS bug))
-Where Dracula is (I was ashamed when I saw the solution, because it was so obvious :-[ )
-How the other people use the pattern to beat the guy (I looked that after I already beaten him, and discovered nothing more than I already do)

Post by: Genova on April 01, 2008, 01:04:07 pm
the guy is near impossible if you dont kill the eyes quick enough and he does the thing where there is about 8 spikes in his mouth you cant dogde it . he is the worlds toughest pattern fest
Actually, it's pretty easy (I died against it 2 or 3times only). But you have to anticipate this attacks. After 3 or 4fireballs (I don't remember at this moment) the guys take a small pause and launch either the spikes or the flamthrower. If you jump on the walls then quickly climb it and moves on the ceiling, then it's pretty easy to avoid.

To the mad genius who made this game: You have made probably the best example of level design I have ever seen. The fact that somehow, someway, this game could be beaten is what kept me playing, just to say that I did. I have also never played a game that made me physically violent towards a computer. If I ever meet you in real life, I will shake your hand, buy you a drink, then knee you square in the balls.

A few days ago my friend was over and while he was working on his laptop I started a new game in Medium to show him a few parts of the game. Every time I showed him a part I liked, I wanted to go onto the next part to show him that part as well, and so on and so forth, and before I knew it, I'd beaten the entire game all the way through from start to finish in about an hour. In fact, according to the game save data, it was exactly an hour.

I Am The Guy! Downloaded the game yesterday, played it for about 6 hours straight, on medium cause I didnt want to get completely owned. But I made it through 5 bosses. Came back today and got the next 2 pretty easily. Some obvious hangups at the cart of death.
Then it only took about 3 hours and 500+ runs at The Guy to get all the patterns of each form down to the point where I could get lucky and kill him.
VICTORY! I plan on doing a run on Very Hard next, and getting it on video.

Was funny game to play and to beat. Only one room on the way to mecha-bird really annoyed me, the one where you need to go to small tunnel which spikes on roof and floor and when you are halfway thru those start to move faster. I almost stopped playing because of that part, luckily I somehow managed to beat it after not playing for few days and got past it. Pretty much the only part in the game which really annoyed me.
Also, after beating 5 bosses, all except mecha-bird, I learned the S can skip the Cutscenes, most of my playtime is due to that, waiting the dracula talk everytime I tried him was really not that fun. :P
But overall, ty for nice gaming experience.

It seems I forgot to download the ending file that is in the download section (I remember seeing that and be like "No way I'm going to reach the end of the game". Serves me right I guess).

Maybe the hardest was the second, because of the rapid fireballs and 8 spike salutes of hell. But eventually I got it. I think it was like the 15th time I got to phase three when I beat The Guy

The death count is a bit off, but I can say that the first save file was me learning wall jumping for the first time. I kept trying to do it Megaman X style instead of holding shift. I got better though! My second go at it I tried the upper path first, and didn't die as much as I thought I would at the GnG part. I'd say my true death count is somewhere around 400. A good number of my deaths were from the tower with the bionic commando music... least favorite part of the game to be sure.

Hardest moments for me: The first part when I first started fighting him O.o.
Spinning laser attack, though it became the easiest part of the fight when I figured out that I can climb up the vine before he shoots the lasers and drop down about a second after he says "I will crush your tiny bones" and completely avoid it with a 0% chance of getting hit.
And then the final form and the white balls of hell. Especially the spikes that he shoots out of his mouth.

fucking amazing game. To be honest I found the last boss easier than a lot of stuff in the game. A bunch of people were sat around me and during the credits as soon as we saw apples/cherries we all started going DODGE IT ITS GONNA FALL ITS GONNA FALL XD
Also one of the guys watching me actually predicted the moon would fall UP and kill me in the ghosts n goblins section.

Playtime 20:23:10
Deaths: 5945
Bosses Defeated: Mike Tyson, Mecha Birdo, Dracula, Kraidgief, Bowser Wart and Wiley, Mother Brain, Devil Dragon, and The (former) Guy
It has been an incredible journey. At the start the difficulty seemed to be at a point that I could never overcome. After starting to learn how the game worked, and learned that apples could fall up, I defeated Mike Tyson and Mecha Birdo. I then made it to Dracula, who killed me hundreds of times. In the process, I came to the brink of giving up, and began to believe that I would never beat this game. My sanity dropped to dangerously low levels, but I eventually overcame Dracula, and continued forward. After making it through the spike chase, and killing Kraidgief, I began to feel an incredible sense confidence and power. My sanity soared to levels I had never known, and in a seeming invincible charge, I took out Bowser, Wart, and Wiley, and then Mother Brain. With the path to The Guy's Fortress open, I continued onward and bested the minecart section and the Devil Dragon using a level of skill I never knew I could possess.
As I began to make my way through the fortress of The Guy, anxiety began to build. While the sections here were as hard as you would expect from the final area of I wanna be The Guy, and required complete concentration and precision, my thoughts were still preoccupied with the looming specter of the coming conflict with The Guy. I finally made it to him, and began an epic duel of ridiculous difficulty. With practice and persistence, I learend how to defeat his phases one by one, eventually making it to the sixth and final phase. While nothing revolutionarily new was added during this phase, the combination of elements formed a brick wall which halted me in my tracks. I began experiencing flashbacks of Dracula, and wondering once again if this final obstacle was too much, and that I might never beat the game. However, I continued and finally struck the final blow to his final form miliseconds before I was killed by an incoming fireball.
This game has taken me from the lowest depths to the highest hights of emotion, and after dodging the last apple I only have this left to say:
I AM THE GUY!

I started this game uhhhh a few months ago, when it was still in alpha( I still have that version on my desktop). I got insanely frustrated by the spike room in GnG and I just stopped playing. Then about a week ago, I got bored and booted it again...I discarded my save folder some time ago so I had to get to the GnG part again, and it took me a wooping 20 mins to do about a day's worth of effort before. Then I just worked my way and persisted again and again.
Feels great to finally be done with this game, one hell of a game I might add. =)
PS. I watched cloud and jman videos, mostly for certain hard parts ( no bosses). I think hearing cloud and jman screaming of frustration calmed myself as I was doing the part they just did in the videos :P

as for thoughts on the guy he was actually one of the easiest boss' in my opinion but thats probably only because of massive lag,but even without the lag he isnt that hard concidering like most of the other boss' he works with a pattern then theres just the proper timing and such which is also fairly easy to figure out.the part i had most trouble with was mother brain and the tram ride to guy fortress(and both still piss me off at great lengths).

doing it over coz 2500 deaths is just silly, but now im playing on hard, halfway (4 bosses down) and with like 250 death.
but now when i played medium i always saved even thoe i might died 20 times and didnt complete a room. so thats probably why i have so many deaths

JMan's video has them. They were awful, because they left little to no response time, and they blended in the background, making it even worse.Checked.

It took me about 2800 deaths and 8 hours to finish the game in Medium (Plus about 300 deaths and 20 minutes from getting 3 of the secret items. Most of those deaths from that evil spike in G&G's :P). It sure was a lot easier, and much more fun! Since I already knew the levels and I was familiar with the gameplay, it was a lot more enjoyable than the first time.
Hard mode's saves are really well placed: they'll never force you to get through 2 very hard areas with no saves. As far as I can tell, this is the normal mode (Medium is just Easy), and I recommend anyone to play it after they finish Medium. Maybe rest some time, but then give it a try. It's really awesome.
You know what's funny? Let me quote myself:
Quote from: Elman
So far it's been a blast. I have to say that Hard/Very Hard modes seem quite pointless, though: they aren't really harder, since the actual gameplay's exactly the same, but they are much more frustrating. And that's not nice. I only played in Normal, and with some help from Youtube videos (Mostly to see where the surprise traps were, like the falling star in the 3rd upper level >_<). No, I'm not gonna waste hours of my life and get really pissed playing a game just so I can do it without wearing a ribbon on the character's head xD A hard game's ok, a frustrating one isn't.
[...]
Anyway, it's a great game, I'd dare to say it's one of the best I've ever played (Except for the random crashes)! ;D Keep up the good work ^^
It sure is one of the best games I've ever played. But I enjoyed Hard mode a lot after all ;D

Obviously, deaths are higher than actually recorded because of all the game crashes and the parts where I exited without reaching the save point, which means some deaths are not counted. Still, I guess it's not too bad for a 1st run-through. Maybe?
I have to say, I thought The Kid was going to do something cool about the apple falling at the end of the credits... but all he did was get his head blown off, and I had to beat The Guy again. >:(
Still, found Hard difficulty a bit easy. :-X May go for Very Hard next, or might go look for sekrit items first.

I played on medium.
The final boss was a huge pain to complete. I spend many days trying it... In my opinion, it was the hardest thing in the whole game. (Surprise, it was the final boss. It is meant to be the hardest)
The funniest place was the Ryu Hayabusa's room. I laughed a lot there.
This is my first and probably the last post.

I have to say that the hardest bit of this game for me is double jumping across the fan room with ryu in it.
That was until I realised about dracula's lair.
Oh and the labrynth of the guy took me SO LONG to figure out. I really don't know how anyone completes the game in under 4 hours on their first playthrough without a guide.
Was anyone else the sort of person curious enough to find all the secret items without going out of their way to look for them? I just found them all as I played through the game on medium :D

wish i was good at this game >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
It takes time to be good at it. It took me forever to beat it the first time. But now I can beat it under 1 hour and 100 deaths without any major disasters. Why? Because I've beaten it 10 times over.
There's only 2 tricks to being good at this game: Timing, and knowing where all the hideous little traps Kayin placed deviously in these spine-breaking tear-inducing levels. Both of these come with experience in the game.
P.S. On those 100 death games, I often rack up about half of those deaths just from the GnG part. It took me days to finally beat it the first time, so rest with the knowledge that it's normal to be entirely frustrated at that part :P (It still gets me every time though :( )

Thanks for making this game. I think I can safely say it's the only freeware game ever to come out that's made me glad to be frustrated.
By the way, I found I could not move when the apple fell at the end. Bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Also, I checked the store for an "I Am The Guy!" T-shirt and was disappointed. I thought it would look really cool with the 6 bosses on there, or maybe just the 6 boss blocks that show up in the save screen. I would buy it (so I could rub my Guyness in other non-Guy faces). The designs that are there are pretty neato, though.

The cherry killed me last time I beat it (since I couldn't move, for some reason), and I hit R. I didn't know that it saved the game anyway.
So I had to beat The Guy again. Something interesting happened this time, though. I took a little longer than usual during the second part and he breathed fire at me just as I took out the other eye. The fire stayed there indefinitely in this little arc over the pillar. I ran across to the right side, took out the eye and came back but the fire was still there. So I had to do these little hops (or risk being burned) while taking one shot at a time at the eye, all the while dodging the fire he shot out, the fire that was stuck there, those little white things that shatter and the spikes from the floor. Yeesh. Once I finally won, I was sucked THROUGH THE FIRE and killed, prompting swearing until I discovered that the end credits were running anyway. AND I dodged the cherry this time.
Thanks again for the game.

These statistics are screwed up since I was using a buggy version that didn't update my time or death count between the end of the demo and just after I beat Dracula, and also because even the working version didn't save time or deaths when I had to quit before reaching a save point (which was often), but here they are anyway:

I beat The Guy twice last week. First run took <900 tries according to the save file, though it doesn't update the save file every time you die, only when you save the game, so if you die 50 times in a row and it crashes on death #51, that's 50 deaths not added to the counter. I'm sure my death count was more like 2000.

The Guy became very easy after the first time I killed him. I can usually get him on the first or second try now. Once you have his pattern down and become good with accurate dodging, he becomes a piece of cake.

I never play games on the easiest setting on principle, so hard took me over 5 hours.
The Guy himself must have been about a whole hour of that, I kept getting him down to his last eyeball and then something would catch me, especially trying to transition to the other pillar.
Dracula also took me ages, he kept firing constant homing apples and teleporting on top of me...
Good game :D

Played the game completely blind, no prior knowledge of what was coming. Wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Things that can suck a railroad spike (in no particular order):
- Ghosts and Goblins spikes - you know the ones
- Mother Brain's Spaghettios
- The Ryu Hayabusa fake error screen
- Demon Dragon's chase, ESPECIALLY on the way back
- Every single gravity-defying delicious fruit or spike
- Turrets (Especially before I realized you could shoot them... *sigh*)
- The Evil save point right before Father The Guy... I didn't realize for the longest time that if I shot it enough it became a regular save point)
- The Castlevania and Tourian sections for being SO WELL HIDDEN
- Kayin's evil mind for being so damned compelling!
My thoughts on Father The Guy:
First form: Not too bad, seems easy enough to dodge when I'm not stupidly running into the grenade fire
Second form: Okay, has another decently simple pattern... takes me a while to figure out but I'm good from there on
Third form: WHAT? How am I supposed to hit him? Ugh, after trying to shoot him at every moment possible, I finally figure out he has to shoot himself...
Gianthead One: Easy stuff!... which scares me. I know there's so much worse coming.
Gianthead Two: Okay... I figure out how to dodge the initial eye lazors pretty quickly but I die repeatedly... goes by much better once I figure out it's easier the faster I shoot out his eyes.
Gianthead Three: I die almost instantly... and sit watching the screen for a few seconds... WHAAAAAT? How am I even supposed to survive all that? Ugh... eventually he goes down...
That delicious fruit at the end of the credits... it really would have killed me if I hadn't moved, wouldn't it?
DICK MOVE.
And I love it.

I love the difficulty, it couldn't have been made harder without it being stupid. This game was actually made to be as hard as the no-damage runs people come up with from other games. I didn't like the idea of there being bosses at first, since I like figuring out the stages better, but it's all good. :)
And Kayin was right. If you can't make it any further, you'd better stop your playing session, or it's not fun anymore, and you fall into a routine of repeated deaths.

edit 2: I just read those guys arguing about getting to Mecha Birdo in 6 minutes, it's really not that hard, i just did it in 6:20. I'm sure i could get that down to 4 or lower if i wanted to keep trying.

Fell into a fireball and as "GAME OVER" appeared my last bullets hit The Guy and killed him. Was staring in shock until the ending cutscene started anyway.

Deaths: 1334 (that's 3 deaths from 1337!) :o
Hard mode
I also found a weird item at the end of the ghosts 'n goblins stage, I'm guessing it's one of the hidden items?
This was my first playthrough of the game.
Here's also a pic:

As for the final battle... EPIC! I like games with very hard final bosses, and it was awesome to see one of the hardest games ever to have one of the hardest bosses ever.

I found the bosses to be the hardest parts of the game. Probably because I never used a controller. Watching videos of playthroughs of the bosses on youtube, I noticed most players managed to fire insanely fast. The only way I can see this being possible is with a controller. Did most players play like this or are these just a small handful of players who just happened to record and upload their footage to youtube?

Kayin has my kudos. For such a simple game, I had a lot of fun. Favorite deaths were the "error screen" and the "You retard. You jumped into a sword!" You have a way of making people paranoid though. I was freaking out and couldn't even relax after beating the guy. When I saw the spikes as I fell out of the tower, I was flipping out and mashing random buttons. :spikes: The delicious fruit at the end scared the crap out of me. :fruit: It's a good thing I WAS paranoid. I would have been soo pissed if I saw the GAME OVER screen at the end, haha.

Post by: Fubu72 on February 23, 2009, 08:43:52 pm
Make that count 366!
Yeah I finally decided to register just to say I AM THE GUY :kid:
Well I didn't find all of the secret items but found those two on my own (kinda) and I'm pretty sure where other two are.
The guy wasn't that hard once you figure him out... except for those two last parts. Instead, Mother Brain killed me about 400 times, most of those caused by frustration and not resting until I beat her (it?).
I started playing it around New year, but I didn't really rush so I just beat it last Thursday (19/02/09)
I wouldn't really say it's the hardest game I've seen but it was still pretty hard and had a very good satisfaction feeling when I finally beat the Guy (shooting to his eye in the last moment before falling into the immortal flames, it was so dramatic).
By the way, the Error death was the best death in the game in my opinion, it kept me laughing for a good time. (I don't put this under spoiler because everyone here have beaten it already or else they wouldn't be here, right?
Well that was pretty much my opinion in the game and maybe I'll try it on Very hard one day (because as far as I've seen I think there isn't a single Save point on Impossible (hence the name) though, it's technically possible to beat it, just, no, would take a lot of time to someone to beat it).
To think I just started playing this for the lulz because of Niconico Douga. Ha.
To finish my semi-long post I would like to ask a simple question to anyone who knows: Can the falling apple (fruit, whatever) at the end of the credits NOT be avoided? :fruit:
Because well, the game taught me I couldn't even trust it even when the credits are scrolling so I was expecting something to try to kill me and I was trying to see a moment where I could move on my own. The thing is that I don't know if the Kid (or rather the Guy) avoided it himself or if I moved him to the right (it looked like that to me).
I'm curious to know if you can get a Game Over there (as I would expect from this game).
Yeah, I know I could beat the Guy again just to see it myself, but I'd rather not if it can be easily answered here.
Sorry for the long post! ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)ｂ Nevah Give Up!

You have to dodge that final fruit yourself. If you don't, you will get killed and get a game over. I think if you press 'R' quickly enough, you'll continue from the beginning of the credits, though.
Haha. Thanks for the answer, that was exactly my guess of what happens. As expected from I wanna be the guy.

...though this is actually my second time through the game - the first time, I got quite frustrated after 3 days at Mother Brain and wrote an AutoHotkey macro for rapidfire, only to discover later that it is considered cheating, cheating, and, for future reference, cheating, so I deleted it, started the game over from the beginning, and completed it again in 2 nights.
I just hope that having replayed the entire game unassisted will be considered to be a sufficient act of penance for my sins.

It took me almost five hours to beat the Guy. I didn't realize for the first hour that you could kill the EVIL point and get a save point out of it. Then, three hours later, I didn't see the path above you need to use to kill his final phase. I regret having to check the forums to see what I needed to do, but it was necessary.
At one point after that, I killed the Guy as I died, but I felt guilty, so I crashed the game by trying to reload during the credit sequence. It took me another 20 minutes of pure frustration to get it for good. Anyways, I'm the Guy now, even if it took an embarrassingly long time to beat him. Yay!
I love this game.... Now that I've beat it.

But how can anyone prove it besides taking a video?

Attached is a list of all the Guys to date, all in lower case because of a simple Guy adding/checking program that I wrote. If your username is not on the list and you have posted here previously, be sure to post here again. I'm pretty sure I have everyone written down that has explicitly stated that he or she had become The Guy, but there is always the chance that someone managed to slip through the cracks.
I figure that any moderator who wants to can feel free to update the count on whatever basis he or she feels is adequate. And, at any rate, I'll probably be back now and again to see what's new around the forums, but do not expect me to update the count from this point forth.

I'm glad I never ran across the spinning machinegun lasers of death glitch, though I might have been able to beat it thanks to the two safespots I found on the upper corners. Still, it would have sucked.
I guess I got into the game a bit late; I only ran across it thanks to TV Tropes. However, I have proceeded to spread the misery amongst my gamer friends. They always tell me I'm a horrible person for making them play it. Muahahaha.

Awesome. I would like to thank you for making such an awesome game. The only thing I truly hated was the harmonic up and down spike corridor in the Ghouls and Ghost's area. I think I got over 500 deaths here, and the first time I got through, well, that thing fell on me. Damn you. That was awesome.
Another note, I didn't know you could press S to skip cutscenes, so I listened to Dracula's speech over fifty times.
Strangely enough, I found that Mike Tyson was the hardest boss, but Dragon Devil only killed me three times. Thanks again for the suffering. Up next, Very Hard.

This has been my favorite game of all time, thank's a ton for making it.

Overall a very fun game, especially since when I started I made it a point to never watch any videos of it so all the deaths and traps would be surprises. So my favorite stuff would be:
: show
And yeah so I did it on normal the first time through. I already started a hard run and have six bosses down with like 451 deaths and a bit less than 2 hours. Maybe later I'll finish that file so you can't call me a wuss or nothing :P.
I feel like I should be including something more constructive or substantial here but I can't think of anything. Just want to say again that I found most of the bosses very well designed because they keep the player on his toes without much downtime to catch his breath. I just wish something was done with the secret items but oh well. Keeping them as bragging right trophies works too.

I completed the game (on medium yeah but i don't care, i am the guy and proud of it :P ), likely more than 3000 death (recorded 2800 something, but i spent lots of tries on boss), best area, tetris to kirby, hardest boss, tyson ^^, nah most of the death came from the guy himself, most dreaded area spikey corridor of death
You're not The Guy, you have a bow in your hair.
if you play on medium you do not deserve to be included on this list.

For the last damned time, it doesn't matter if you played through on medium, you are still The Guy.
No. You have a ribbon in your hair. You know what gender that belongs to? It's certainly not the one referred to as guys.
Medium is for little girls that are not The Guy.

Hello, fellow forum members! Unfortunately, I only ever come to IWBTF to check on and update the Guy count due to busyness in my personal and professional life. So, to make things a little more convenient for me (and, admittedly, a pain for everyone else) I've decided to stop keeping track of the count, effectively terminating my visits to this forum altogether.He had a list attached to this post, though he apparently won't be keeping track anymore. I might start working on a list myself, though. Maybe.
Attached is a list of all the Guys to date, all in lower case because of a simple Guy adding/checking program that I wrote. If your username is not on the list and you have posted here previously, be sure to post here again. I'm pretty sure I have everyone written down that has explicitly stated that he or she had become The Guy, but there is always the chance that someone managed to slip through the cracks.

I tried everything, even mashing the buttons, but he'd still only move left. I think my ending screwed up or something.Your computer is lagging, download the ending file and try again, if that doesn't work then get the frame-skip version, if you already have that get slow-mo if that doesn't work cry.
Also if you don't want to fight the guy again:

Reaction: Mimicing his "NO! NO!" with my own "YES! YES!" Followed by being glad I finished such hell. Best part is that now I can look back and say it was a good game, whereas before I'd say it was good until it murdered me endlessly and I started hating it. Until I play again, I can pretend it was all fun and games...

It would have probably been beaten a lot sooner but for a while i kept triggering the third phase of the giant head while he was either about to flamethrower me or send 6 spikes at me, causing a permanent flamethrower and death.
Post by: Panthera on August 09, 2009, 11:57:35 pm
Did you die during the credits? If so, then all the deaths since you fought the guy would not have been recorded since you didn't save again.
Nope, I survived the final cherry.

I am The Guy.
However; My friend Davian became the guy before me, so put him down as 427, and me as 428.
...Also put me down as Alek.
Oh, and I will be celebrating my newfound The Guyness in a special way. Hopefully you guys will see more on that later.
EDIT: Beat Very Hard mode then Medium, and got all the items. Still working that project.
Post by: Terencus on September 05, 2009, 12:36:41 pm
medium 2093 deaths 5.58 hours beat
hard 463 deaths 1.51 hours beat
very hard 87 deaths 1.57 hours beat
the first time I beat him I was like " YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY"

So...excited...can't...type...
Difficulty: Hard
Time: 12:20:00
Deaths: 1696
Items: GAME OVER room.
The time and death count have to be off, I'm sure they'd be greater if the game didn't conviniently crash and erase playtime.
Also of note, I almost cried the run I won, not because I did it (though I'm not saying I didn't cry on the inside afterward), but because I thought I had lost. A WFT (White Flashy Thing) hit me going up when the final shot connected. I almost hit R...then I just prayed it didn't crash during the credits or having me black out and getting owned by the delicious fruit at the end...
W00!!!!!

I'll post again once I've made it, hopefully I can be number 428 ;D
Also, as with the previous posts, I too have found myself automatically pressing R just after making it past a frustratingly difficult screen, just because it becomes a reflex after a while. I don't think my keyboard's ever taken a beating quite like it has at those times.

Trust me, depending on how you go about beating The Guy's first phase, your Z button and SHIFT keys can become almost unresponsive...Use C and Space. It goes much quicker and the space bar can take more abuse then shift/z.

Don't worry. You're still The Guy. It doesn't matter if you died right after killing him.

Second play through finished completely(entire game) and I fricken' hated the part where you were stuck on the pedestal where you couldn't move. And yes, on that try I did die from the apple.

I probably have more like 1000, but MMF2 errors...
I finally beat Very Hard mode with 599 Deaths, the game is so much easier when you know how to beat it.
Also, like 50 of those deaths are in the Guys Castle, in the room before the brick break *i think* where if you jump on this one platform that descends down into spikes, you glitch back up to the original position you were in if it goes too far down. At that point, you can only do a falling jump into spikes. :(

I had had so much trouble with the third phase of the fight (The bit where you have to bounce his own shots back into him) that the first time the big honking head smashed through the stained glass and demolished me, I whimpered a bit, quit the game, and told myself "I'll keep at this tomorrow." I didn't touch the game for about three weeks. Out of fear. When I finally did come back for more, I was sure I'd have to spend agonizing ages re-learning the first three bits, but they came back quickly.
I haven't touched the game of my own initiative since I won. I am occasionally compelled to sit down and show off for a friend stuck in a particularly impossible-seeming screen, though. And I carry a copy of the game on the USB drive on my keychain so that I can inflict it on any new acquaintances I deem deserving!

1,438 deaths, almost 7 hours played.
I must admit that I looked up what I was supposed to do when the giant moon falls down and chases you around because the first several times I did it I was stuck with nowhere to go (it didn't break down the right wall) :-X
The giant head was a real pain until I mastered the art of jump > triple shot > double jump > triple shot which lead to a much quicker kill and requires much less dodging of homing white thingys and teeth and fire breath. I actually couldn't do this until I changed the controls so that my right hand could be in charge of jumping and firing and my left hand in charge of movement (backwards of what I had done the whole game ewwww). The only thing I didn't like about the final boss battle was that I must have crashed the game no less than 50 times, usually AFTER he was a giant head but before I died leading to wasted time and not learning anything new about the boss :(
My favorite death in the whole game was getting killed by Dracula's Wine/Blood whatever glass while listening to his speech, that or jumping into the sword in the link area. I <3 IWBTG! :kid:

Post by: Sir Trey on January 20, 2010, 02:13:16 am
OH MY F*****G GOD, I HATE THE GUY'S LAST FORM. I heard about this game as sort of a challenge after beating The World's Hardest Game and having a friend scoff, saying this was the real world's hardest game (I have now conquered IWBTG before him, so he can suck it). After a solid month of nearly breaking my laptop in half, I got to The Guy. Beating his first three forms became a matter of memorizing his patterns, and after he breaks the glass (I'm really surprised the falling glass doesn't kill you), his first big head form isn't that bad either.
It's the second one that started to cause problems. The white homing balls were really annoying at first, but essentially if you keep shooting they're almost a non-issue (you're practically guaranteed to hit them). It's the damn fire (both on the ground and in fireball form) that sucks. And then his final big head form...#^*@%$#(!. I finally figured an easier route than the one I had been doing (once you kill the second form, climb to the safe zone and wait for the white balls to get in your line of fire, destroy them, commence battle. Destroy one eye, repeat, conquer).
I have probably only been this gratified from a video game once (when I beat Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots; I'm a MGS fanboy, I'll admit it), and I loved the credits. But had that last apple killed me, I would have broken something. My laptop, a window, someone's face, I'm not sure, but my anger would have known no bounds ;D As it stands...
Playtime = 11:26:40
Deaths = 2131
*Both are probably only about 75% of the real total when crashes and quits before another save point are accounted for*
Difficulty = Hard
I dunno if I have another playthrough in me right now, but later, knowing what will kill me...should be fun. Great game Kayin...even though a part of me still despises you for killing me that much. Apples, giant cherries, delicious fruit, whatever the hell they are...IT DOES NOT FALL UP. :fruit:
And damn, Mother Brain was difficult... :kid:

I believe I would've had a slightly higher death count if the game never crashed.
The Guy's an ass to beat without any sound whatsoever. Processing the fight entirely visually screwed with my timing.

I have beaten The Guy. On Medium, Hard, and again on Very Hard. Add me as Poochy.EXE, please.
It frankly didn't seem as hard as most people claimed it was, at least not on Medium. Mostly it was just trial and error, the awesome references and hilarious traps kept me playing, and by the time I finished it and started my Hard run, I had pretty much memorized the game. Touhou 11's irritatingly gimmicky stage design was actually probably harder.
(http://webpages.charter.net/poochyexe/iwbtgcomplete2.png)
Disregard the time and death counts on Medium, they're WAY short due to game crashes. Hard is more accurate (but still a couple unsaved deaths here and there), and Very Hard is pretty undercounted again because I had a couple dozen unsaved deaths and an hour or two at the spike corridor.
Hopefully I'll bother to stick around on the forums a bit.

I did it on Hard Mode after COUNTLESS attempts. Sometimes I'd restart a map after dying, get to the new area finally and spazz out and hit R again just because my hand was so used to the motion.
I would have probably finished way sooner, but I kept leaving my home computer (which had the game on it) for college and work, and would only come back for a few days at a time. Regardless...it's done. Unless I wanna do the hidden mode next...which I don't.
I'm so very tired.
Oh! And here's my count!

Reactions ? I paused the game, stood up and started to run all over the house crying my heart out.
Then I sat, watched the credits, and the game crashed, which made me take one more hour to rekill him. -_-'
Post by: delaval on April 05, 2010, 05:07:06 pm
It took me about 6-7 weeks to get to the guy, and then another 6 weeks just to beat him. I got to his 6th form in the end of February, and finally beat him for the first time yesterday. Obviously I died in the credits (I couldn't even scream or cry at that point, I just accepted it), but I managed to beat him again today and I feel somewhat empty. It's finally over. This has been a harsh experience.

a funny thing happened to me when I was fighting the guy.
Around my 437975th death, I got mad and started hitting my keyboard, and the next thing I knew, The Kid was thrown out the window, falling through the sky with The Guy's gun in his hand. The Guy was lying in a bed of spikes with his eyesockets bleeding. I somehow frustrated myself past the guy. Being the perfectionist that I am, though, I closed the window and eventually beat him the proper way. this game only made me cry once, at the end, with tears of joy.
I DID IT, MOFOS! YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIII.

Then I started hard and defeated him on the same day again, reducing the time taken from 12 hours in the first try (with 3200 deaths) to about 3 hours on hard (with 897 deaths).
Now trying to improve more but I still have problems at some parts like the often mentioned spike corridor, the screeen where ryu appears (just can't make the fucking jump to the other side, at least not without a couple of deaths!) and the fight against Wily. But I'm working on it! My personal goal is: Completing the game with less than 50 deaths on hard/very hard - Quite a long way to go I think but I'm working on it! ;D :kid:

I was playing on very hard, but for a laugh tried to see how far I could go without saving... Tower of the guy if you're curious.
Back now at the main menu, contemplating whether to rest up and try a full on impossible run, or what. Is there any way to prove if I did it on Very Hard without saving btw?

Edit:So I was just taking a look at the list and I couldn't find Zoopsoul or Brian Sulpher on there anywhere. Link to Zoop's portion of the battle-off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HSJSR2a7d8&feature=related. I'm fairly sure he and Brian were in the top 150, maybe top 100 to become one.

Mother Brain took me a little longer than most things in the game - it is a bit harder than the average, but keep trying. You'll get it. Just don't stay in the same place too long, and time your jumps so the lasers have just fired.i can get up to the actual brain now but still i can only land 3-5 shots on her or it whatever and if there is gonna be an iwbtg2 im playing it :D

I beat The Guy on Hard some time ago. It took about 1 hour of attempts. I can't say that he is hard, all I can say is that he's easy once you learn his pattern. The first time I (glitch) beat him I told myself that I truly won but over time I felt kind of guilty about it. I then took 2 days out of my life to do a full run of the hard game (excluding finding the secret items) and finally beat The Guy for real this time.

It took me forever to beat the guy. His giant head form was torture, even when I knew the pattern, SOMETHING would happen to kill me (glitch with infinate flame breath, shining thing going above me while the guys firebolts were in my escape path etc.) but I finally beat him... and I'm trying very hard mode and keep dying at the part right after birdo... I think there should be a safe point there, even if it's just so I don't feel stupid for dying there. Also, whenever I do die there, the spikes in the G&G area glitch, and I'm refusing to get past any part that way.
Hopefully this picture works.

Oh, and I did die a fair bit (but much less once I became good at the game), but didn't save after dying. Deaths not saved are not recorded.
I also wanted to point out that this game isn't even that hard once you've learnt the rooms and traps etc. Many of the fangames are much, much harder than the original! It's just that I'm sick of reading people saying that IWBTG is the hardest game ever, when it's clearly not. (Not on this forum, but I've seen it on people's blogs etc.)

And even if this game annoys the :spikes: out of you, you can´t seem to hate it (for a longer time)...
Edit: Beat the game on Very Hard.
Post by: Oathkeeper on November 18, 2010, 06:30:50 pm
When I defeated the Guy, the game had recorded 600 deaths, and I did it on Hard. It's weird though, my best friend saw me playing IWBTG after I defeated the The Guy, and told me: "Why are you still playing that if you already defeated The Guy?". The answer was very easy and simple: "IWBTG is FREAKING FUN!". :kid: :spikes: :spikes: :spikes:

Although I kept stupidly dying to the head form. By the end of it I could beat the first form nearly in my sleep, but would usually get hit by either the white plate thingies or the eye fireballs because I'm trying to avoid a white plate thingy and have nowhere to go but on a eye fireball. I'm also glad I wasn't gullible enough to fall for the last surprise, since I would have had an aneurysm if I had to beat him again.
I literally pulled my hair out playing this game, as well as screamed loud obscenities at the computer. My counter is at 2366 kills, but I'd say anywhere from 2700 - 3000 is more accurate from the deaths that weren't counted between crashes and getting stuck on parts without saving in between.

I was stuck for two years on freaking Mecha Birdo, although I rarely played the game during that time. Last tuesday I randomly beat him (her? it?) and then started playing intensively, beating the other 6 bosses and the game.

hardest boss: the guy (had the kids voice saying "i wanna be the guy" stuck in my head as something of a mantra to keep me going)
easiest boss: dracula (though i think i got lucky because his randomness was kind)
this is easily the most proud I've been in my video gaming life.

the feeling of finally punching in his last eye was amazing. at first there's a giant hole filling your very being (akin to the one the guy gets sucked in). then there's a huge feeling of joy swelling within you, washing over you, urging you to let out a primal scream of victory o wait my flatmates are asleep and its 4 in the morning. trying to lift myself up from the couch, i feel a sharp pain shooting into my back, accompanied by a weird little cracking sound coming from my spine. right, not getting up for 5 hours probably does that. but...i am...THE GUY

The only run I've seen that looks legitimate besides tijit's is the gathiMDS run that Float posted. All other impossible runs that were featured on nicovideo (at least that I saw) clearly used autofire, which, at least in my opinion, invalidates the run as legitimate.Without straying too off-topic, has anyone beaten impossible mode?On this forum, Tijit and Tijit only.

Difficulty: Hard
Deaths: 351
Playtime 4:29:00
I simultaniously played it together with friends that's why I knew most of the stuff and avoided getting killed that often.

Wow... I'm still in shock, tbh
Final death count is 963, 3:13:20 on Medium (Call me a pansy, I don't care)
Both the time and death count are WAY inaccurate, btw, thanks to the game crashing and other stuff. I'm guessing it's really around 2000-3000 for the death count.
But whatever, I'm the Guy now ;D :spikes: :fruit: :kid:

Post by: Marche100 on April 17, 2012, 03:23:29 pm
Unfortunately I can't provide a screenshot, though, or my kill count. I started I Wanna Be the Guy last year and got to the final boss, then my hard drive on my laptop crashed, so I lost my save file and all. Yesterday I decided to use that save fix program to skip back to the final boss and to give beating it another shot (heck if I was going to go through the entire game again just for the final boss), and I beat it last night after 2 solid hours of fighting him. I didn't really care to watch all of the credits, though, so I exited before they were over and it didn't record it as me having beaten The Guy. Technically I could fight him again to get a screenshot, but I don't feel like spending another hour fighting him just to get a screenshot. :-\
Doesn't matter, though. I beat him and now I can finally rest easy knowing that I'm the newest Guy out there.
Actually, I remember fighting the guy last year and thinking I'd never beat him in a million years. Now that I've come back to it after beating games like I Wanna Kill the Guy and getting to the final boss (still working on beating him) of I Wanna Be the Boshy, I think my skills have improved so much that the final boss of I Wanna Be the Guy really isn't too tough. It's just one of the longer fights. Kind of interesting how playing spin offs have made me better at the source material.

However you can download wine (http://www.winehq.org/) and try use that to run the game.
Alternatively you could ask the creator of IWBTB if he can port the game to mac. It might be a long shot but if the game is made in gamemaker the mac version of gamemaker should be able to make a version of the game which will work on mac.

Latest Kid who became The Guy here. I beat it last night, almost 3 months after I dowloaded the game.
Hard mode was Hard. But I didn't want to play it on Medium first, because I don't like to be called a wuss.
Down with Father the (former) Guy - that bastard. And to think that, at some point, I was almost certain I'd never get past the up-and-down spike corridor in the graveyard zone...
I see that some posters above me have skills that make mine (if I have any) look like a joke. Still adding my name to the list of winners, though, and +1'ing the count.

I would just like people to note that Murugo is both 382nd and 523rd.
If I remove him from 523rd the list is as follows.

Here I make use of the automatic numbered list code and everyone after 523 has been bumped up one number. However if people wish to keep there former number it may be better to replace Murugo's second entry with a dash or note.

Glad to see that even after around 7ish years, people are still beating this game for the first time.It's amazing. If you ever have some free time on your hands, go on twitch and look for people who play IWBTG blind. It's the best thing. :3

I'll admit that I've been pretty lazy with updating this list for the past year or so, but I intend to be more timely with it now.

And I actually didn't hate The Guy's second form, I found it pretty epic.
And by the way, I died to the credits the first time.

After 6 years of playing on and off I finally did it. ;D I'm not really good at games and this is one heck of an achievement! This game made me rage hard but it feels so amazing to finally beat it. Thanks for such a hard yet rewarding game Kayin. Time to start Gaiden! http://imgur.com/qXf1DGKCongrats DarkGaruda12! Are you thinking of playing any fangames after Gaiden?

During the credits:
-me: Finally, i'm the guy
-my friend in the other room: I know I'm a guy too you know.
-me: You also played I wanna be the guy?
-my friend: WHAT!? That game made by the devil himself! You finished it!? You're not a guy, you're not human!

I'm The Guy since february 2013 and I got the secret items too.
For me the most hard stage is when you have to run because some layer of the ground now just got wheels and its coming for you, haha. I had very hard times with that walls with green herb. Took me a lot pass that.
Well, of course in the final battle I got to fight the green thing again.
Now and then I play the first stages, and I'm pretty good sometimes.
I just love the game, I love playing, it helps me a lot to release stress, and I love see people playing too, hahaha. It's a great game.
:kid:

I know that this isn't being updated anymore, and not that anyone cares but I wanna share that I finally became the guy ^_^
You're just like me in my very very very newbie days, almost 4 or 5 years ago.

It reminded me of a time in my youth when I would borrow my friends Snes just to play mortal kombat, you remember, when it was actually fun.
It gave me that childhood nostalgia that I was kicking for.
It was funny, challenging and definately kept me excited for whatever would be coming next.

- 23:18:30

Post by: arishipshape on February 20, 2017, 02:38:39 pm
Hard mode
Can't pull up screenshot, but about 810 deaths
Didn't die in credits (saw it coming a mile away)
DID die right before last shot landed, so I will try to beat him without dieing after I shoot last shot
Hated spike corridor, loved the second spike corridor, loved fighting dracula, hated fighting bowser.
I got to the entrance to the guy (minecart ride) and then erased my computer, TRYING to keep my save... Didn't work. Had to work my way back. The death count would be for my SECOND playthrough, up until minecart.
I would have to say this is an exceptional game! Yea, it's hard, but lost levels is harder then nsmb, right? And yet both games have their supporters, and neither is considered a BAD game, just harder. I loved the subversion, the dying after doing a hard part because of a trap I didn't know was there (those evil eagles in ghosts and goblins after spike corridor!!!) ,the dying after a trap I DID know was there, the twist at the end, the EPIC guy fight, and this game in general. IWBTGs controlls are perfect, everyone says it randomly doesn't double jump and that it is glitchy, but the double jump is thanks to falling off platform first, and the glitches? What glitches? Didn't experience any glitches (just the occasional crash) even on a MAC. USING WINE. VERY well made game, the hitboxes are perfect (I thought they weren't good on vic viper but it turns out going backwards into the wall kills you. Should have put spikes on the wall to make more obvious), no annoying invincibility frames for ANYONE, and an exceptional game with many throwbacks.
I love this game, and plan on playing it for many years to come. I will donate money as soon as I get around to it. Thank you Kayin, for making this great game for no definant profit for you.This game is primarily great, the difficulty adds to it, and makes it so you get to play this great game longer! A mac port without wine would be nice. :)
