I Wanna Be the Fangame

I Wanna Be The Fangame is a spinoff of I Wanna Be the Guy made by Tijitdamijit and Matt. The final version was released March 9, 2010, but it is still under development. It has been submitted to Moddb and can be downloaded here.

Being a fangame, most of the tropes from I Wanna Be the Guy are present as well (but more so), including Nintendo Hard, One-Hit-Point Wonder, Platform Hell, Trial and Error Gameplay, Spikes of Doom and the like.


 * Advancing Wall of Doom: After defeating, you better RUN!
 * One happens after you deal with the giant chest in the Alex Kidd path, and you can never outrun it.
 * Auto-Scrolling Level: Two Five  SIX SEVEN of them. It actually warrants a list now.
 * Bonus Boss:
 * Bonus Level of Hell: The new Hell Zone.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: One of the most brilliant examples of this comes into play in Trial 4 in the Hall of Trials -
 * Bullet Hell - The Cacodemon from Doom gives it a go in the Alex Kidd path, but the  Takes it Up to Eleven and then some.
 * Crosshair Aware: Inversed during the GLaDOS boss battle. You actually have to stand AT the crosshair to survive. Otherwise you get unexplainably killed by the black box.
 * Easter Egg: Apparently, the developers weren't expecting you to get to the right of the spike-filled room in the Call Back to the original game. If you do, you get a grey room with the text "WTF! How the f*ck did you get out here".
 * Also, the secret items.
 * Enemy Mine: Pac-Man and the ghosts team up to get you.
 * Fake Platform: Here and there, but it gets pretty severe in the final level.
 * Fun with Acronyms: IWBTFG could also stand for Considering that game...
 * Gainax Ending:
 * Goomba Springboard: Literally. Goombas are the only way to reach otherwise unreachable platforms at some points (but it becomes a huge liability later on).
 * Heroic BSOD: Likely to happen to anyone who plays this.
 * 100% Completion: 11 Secret Items. All hidden in true 8-bit style, and all there to PISS YOU OFF.
 * Let's Play: Several. OverTheGun's one is arguably one of the funnier ones.Flairina's, though without sound, goes through the game fairly quickly and shows off most of the traps. Their channel also has links to some of the newer secrets and how to beat them.
 * MegaUltraJMan also has a notable rage-inducing one, similar in vein to his I Wanna Be the Guy Let's Play (though by the end of this one it's quite obvious he at least preferred IWBTG over this game, which he bashes as being "poorly designed" and chews out Tijit several times). Also notable for leading to him creating I Wanna See You Suffer as a result.
 * Luck-Based Mission: The fight with GLaDOS, once you reach phase two.
 * One-Hit-Point Wonder: Lampshaded in the Pokémon duel, which displays your stats as level 1 with 1/1 hit points, dropping to 0 when you die.
 * Point of No Return: Somewhat. God help you if you're fairly new to the game and accidentally stumble upon a bonus room or the trials. There's (usually) no going back until you beat it if you save there.
 * Poison Mushroom: One of the most hilarious examples, in the Mario section. Getting it
 * Sequel Difficulty Spike: Although it's not technically a sequel, this game is widely acknowledged as being even harder than I Wanna Be the Guy.
 * Shout-Out: Lets see: Mario, Pac-Man, Bubble Bobble, Doom, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Portal, Alex Kidd, Wonder Boy "Destruction 2" and the original IWBTG. Also, in a non-retro-game shoutout,
 * Tele Frag
 * Thanking the Viewer
 * Under the Sea: Bizzarely, the Water Level in the game (which is is usually the most irritating level in other games) is actually one of the most fun levels in the game, especially the boss.
 * Up to Eleven: Did you think the original was hard? Hoo boy, are you in for a shock...
 * Wall Master: Piranha Plants.
 * Womb Level: When you fight Bubble Bobble, you have to enter it and destroy it's Uvula to advance. The rest of the level to the Level Hub is through it.
 * Poison Mushroom: One of the most hilarious examples, in the Mario section. Getting it
