One of the first fangames, though not quite the first as some people think ('I wanna save the Kids' & 'GunDude Game' predate, it among others). That being said, it gave its name to the genre of games that would follow, so points for that.
The game itself plays very similar in style and aesthetic to the original 'IWBTG', although slightly harder, with more secrets, and a broader variety of different bosses. The overall quality and difficulty scaling is less well handled than 'IWBTG' and the final ascent of the tower at the end is rage-inducing in its finickiness. It's just fine on its own merits, but its place in fangame history makes it a must try for people new to the community.

I was surprised to find out that this game is actually pretty fun, and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than my first experiences with the original Guy. Very charming; the physics are very different from what we are used to nowadays but they work perfectly fine for everything in this game. Recommended to try this classic.

A classic.
This is one of the first fangames ever made, and the creator, tijit, even made the first IWBT engine, and ALL engines now are based on his original one. I remember the GM7 version of it, back in 2010, it's what got me into game maker.
Of course the quality isn't going to as good as now, of course the engine is a bit outdated. But it's one of the first ones. It's like comparing Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Galaxy, for the time, they're as good, both revolutionary and very fun to play.
This game has amazing music, atmosphere and it is even open, just like the original IWBTG, it has some amazing areas, and I really love the Pokémon boss battle, it's just really, really good!
So I give it a 9/10. A classic!
