I Wanna Be the Guy

Post by spoodie »

This game is nearly two years old, but I only discovered it the other day. I watched a couple of videos and just tried it myself. It's the kind of game they could have in the break room at Guantanamo Bay.

Try it, see how far you get.

Another "good one" is Syobon Action. There's a link to the official site on that page but I can't get the web-embedded or downloaded versions to run on this machine.

It's a Mario clone which punishes you for knowing Mario conventions.

I tried to pick a video that had the least irritating voice. His accent amused me, at least more so than squeeky Americans saying "God damn!" constantly.

That's far more annoying, some pre-pubescent yank squealing over everything. Or like the 'whooping prick' of the starcraft 2 level editor video, there's just no need. I watched this for a while and if I do try it I'm glad I've forgotten a lot of the ingrained mario play techniques because it would boil my piss.

I think wiggy should try this, his mario skills are pretty impressive.

Mario skills might be more of a hindrance.

I've tried it now and very nearly completed the first level before I had to quit out of frustration. It's a lot easier than I Wanna Be The Guy but still quite evil.

I was playing that the other day, very good. With some random fortune I just managed 2021m as my furthest.

I got 6181m over on Kongregate. Just hit some boxes so you don't get uncontrollably fast.
