I want to bring attention to a game that is rapidly gaining attention on the internet.

Originally made by a guy who goes by the internet name "Kayin," I Wanna Be The Guy has reached critical acclaim across the internet as a game that is almost turning into a must play. Its story features the character, known as "The Kid" who is on a journey to become "The Guy." Fairly simple, not too complicated.

The biggest issue with this game is its difficulty, however, as it has been known to want to make players commit mass murders and develop a very bad case of Tourette's Syndrome. The game maintains it's difficulty by throwing numerous amounts of traps at you, from killer "delicious fruit" to the game's own moon graphic trying to kill you numerous times. Essentially, everything in this game tries, at some point, to kill you. Expect to die a few thousand times in this game.

However, this should not turn you completely away from the game. There have been hundreds, and quite possibly into the thousands by now, of fan game spinoffs made of this game, each getting harder and more rediculous than the last. However, I do recommend playing the first before you take on any one of its fan game spinnoffs.

IWBTG is a game that is like eating a Habenero pepper. It's one of those things you want to do just so that you can say you did it. If you enjoyed the original, then be sure to check out the fan games. There are others that feature less traps and more strategy/skill than the original. The original game sports characters from old time games that have been past dated, and get a bit of a renewing in this game, all of which you should recognise. There's nothing like fighting a green Zangief character that's 300 times larger than your character.

Long story short, go play this game, get addicted, and play the fangames like the rest of it. You'll hate me later, but oh well. Just do it so you can say you're the guy already.
