I Wanna Get Cultured is an IWBTG fangame that started out as a small joke game between 2 friends imitating the Kamilia series of games. After realizing the potential and interest in a game like this, Pieceofcheese and Paragusrants teamed up to slowly turn the game into a full length project. Pieceofcheese is the producer responsible for all the games programming / coding, music selection, and most boss designs. Paragusrants acted as director by picking the content in terms of which fangames and screens would be represented in the first 6 stages
Paragus: As an avid fangame player and streamer on twitch TV, the games represented act as sort of a retelling of my journey through fangames. All of the games are included are games and screens that struck me as particularly memorable and well-made. The final stage includes original screens designed by pieceofcheese.
The goal is to create a game whose main focus is platforming (not grinding on bosses), and to create a game that would be accessible for newer players, have high replayability, and be a fun speedrun / racing game for more seasoned players. We hope you enjoy the experience this cliff notes version of my journey.
Game features
6 Full Length Fangame Stages!
1 Final Stage of exlusive original screens!
7 Hidden Unlockable Characters (1 Per Stage)!
Memorable Boss Encounters!
Amazing Soundtrack!
Achievement System!
..and an ending you won't soon forget!
After completing the game you will also unlock various new game modes to increase replayability! These modes include replaying the game with various gimmicks applied tot he entire game such as Speed, Ice, Low Gravity, Spotlight, Meteors and more!
In addition, there is a "Random" mode which will ensure you never have the same playthroguh twice! Each time you enter a screen in random you will automatically be assigned one of the variables and locked in for that screen.
For the highly skilled, "Bifficult" mode only for the most experienced and seasoned crazies who want the ultimate challenge. This mode increases the difficulty of each screen substantially by adding more obstacles. Bifficult mode can then be combined with "Random" and the other modes for even a greater unpredictable challenge!
Sunpossible mode is also present as a tribute to the infamous "Churatch" mode. Players will be given a box to enter a number of lives they want to have for the entire game. Once your lives are depleted, your game is over for good! Are you good enough to get the achievement for beating the game on Sunpossible with only 100 lives?
Special thanks goes out to the IWBTG Twitch TV Community "The Wannabes" for their help and support at various stages of this project.

I Wanna Get Cultured is one of the earlier medley fangames to be made, one which got a lot of attention since it released. I was surprised to see that not all of that attention was positive, as for every couple of reviews praising the game, you've also got a recent review calling the game bad and outdated. So with that in mind, how did I think of the game?
The first thing to notice about the game is its main structure: instead of having some platforming screens with a boss at the end, the bosses are all joke bosses, thus giving the platforming more time in the spotlight. This even goes as far as the boss rush, which has been replaced with a stage rush, featuring some longer screens from some fangames. The main intent of this move was to make a medley aimed towards people that like platforming and not grinding on bosses, but there's also another benefit to this approach that nobody's mentioned until now. Some medleys just use screens from a fangame as an excuse to feature them in the boss fight, but with no real bosses, this game gets around that problem and allows for games to be used solely for the screens themselves.
However, as for the platforming itself, I didn't find much enjoyment here. This mostly comes from the screens themselves not being very interesting, since it's a game from 2014, and not much existed back then that's really revolutionary by 2025 standards. At least it's still kind of enjoyable at best for the most part, and there was only a handful of actively unfun screens (I'm looking at you, 8Bit), but yeah, it rarely gets better than that. At least this game has some original screens which are more exciting than what came before it, utilizing gimmicks like jump refreshers and moving platforms in interesting ways, but that unfortunately makes up a very small part of the game.
However, despite many of the bosses just being jokes, there is actually a singular real boss at the end of the game (assuming the Crimson boss doesn't count), that being Biff. This boss is actually one of the most memorable parts of the game, since the attacks are pretty interesting, and it's also not too difficult, so as to not go against the mission of "no grindy bosses". However, the makers even found a way to insert platforming into this, since at the end of every phase, you have to do a screen of platforming, but with a gimmick added on top of it. I imagine some of the gimmicks could be troublesome, especially since one of them is just the stars from Meteor Stream again, but for this run in particular, I was lucky enough to get all of them on my first try, so they weren't that bad for me.
Now onto some other aspects of the game. First, I really don't like the general jokey tone of the game, at least not in a big medley game like this. As Piece said in his creator comment, this game started out as a shitpost before becoming what it is now, and you can definitely see traces of that in the final product. The joke bosses, some screens just being jokes too, the stage clear screens with Comic Sans font and a recorder flute in the background, you name it. In any other game, this would be fine. But if you're not gonna make your big medley fangame with a serious tone, then how am I expected to take it seriously while playing it? Having a couple joke achievements here or there is fine, but if the whole game is like this, then I don't really gel with it as easily.
Anyway, now onto something more positive, that being this game's quality as a medley and a monument to the community. In this regard, the game does better than before. Despite the rooms themselves being kind of uninteresting, at least the variety of fangames chosen is extremely high. You've got everything from Sandwich to Diverse to Catharsis to even I Wannyaaaaaaaaaa, so clearly there's a lot of different types of fangames to keep you covered while playing this. There's also the secrets, which give you different skins from different fangames that you can activate at any time from then on, which are also a nice addition. And of course, we can't forget about the Wannabes Tower in stage 4, which pays homage to a bunch of prominent members of the western community at the time, another one of the most memorable parts of the game.
Either way, while this game may not be the worst thing out there, it's also far from being the best when looked at through a 2025 lens. Not really something I'd recommend, but not something I'd actively suggest against either. If you're looking for an older medley that's definitely worth your time though, I Wanna Get Rekt also exists, which does the exact opposite of this game's concept, focusing on bosses instead of platforming. Or even better, Cultured 2 exists too, so maybe check that out instead, I've heard that's also pretty good.

Welllllll..... I finally cleared this! While this fangame did have a lot of fun, pretty amusing and maybe BS parts too, I found it enjoyable!! I did drop it a few times for roadblock reasons but everytime I managed to somewhat triumph over them it felt amazing!?!?!? But like, it didn't mean there weren't still some parts I thoroughly disliked.. *cough cough* Stage 7 purple area (It's really tiring..) But I eventually made it... Even through BIff too- his bossfight was.. A pain because my reading skills sucked and the green orbs in some sections would either get stuck in the sense that they're in an unreachable spot and refuse to get down- (Were the weird bounce directions looked over?) Yet stillllll..I pulled through and even fluked the 3rd phase, the ending was nice lol (R****dland part caught me off guard) And I still have yet to even make an attempt on S1 Bifficult in the warp zone.. Waffling aside though, I genuinely enjoyed this even if this was a harrowing experience in some aspects- This took me... 10k deaths and maybe 18h to clear? (I'm only about less than a month into the world of fangames..) But actually.. GGS! Kira liked this a lot :D

i feel this game is quite simple and is good at what it does - be an easy needle-only medley game, while not taking itself very seriously. admittedly the humor is on part for its era, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely devoid of all humor.
unfortunately the largest issue in this game is its forgettability - most screens just sort of exist, all boiling down to just some needle and maybe a trap or two. there are a few interesting screenpicks, however it feels like they tried to avoid most kamilia series screenpicks (which they didn’t need to do). the stages themselves aren’t too long and scale in difficulty quite fairly. however, some segments like the tower segment stretch on for far too long and aren’t that interesting. final stage being original is quite welcome: final stage is also pretty well-made, with the infinite jump screens being my personal favorites.
final boss is okay at best, just kinda annoying from what i’ve experienced. the idea of integrating needle into a boss was never really it for me, especially when handicaps are introduced. it just doesn’t work too well and breaks up the fight. the final boss itself is just some meh attacks, nothing too out of the ordinary.
