This is a faithful remaster of the original I Wanna Be The Guy, aiming to balance the spirit of the original game with the desire for consistent physics like the fangames that came after while fixing some of the jank.

This was created using Yuuutu engine in Game Maker 8.2, and has been prepatched with gm8x_fix (https://github.com/skyfloogle/gm8x_fix). The source code has been included (GM 8.2).

My first playthrough of this game was on Hard difficulty, and honestly it was probably my most rewarding clear. First, a little background.

I'm relatively new to playing aiwannas (I started by playing IWM via. friend recommendation about 7-8 months ago) but honestly I wanted to play the original IWBTG (Multimedia Fusion) and it felt very old and unstable, so from a technical standpoint, I didn't enjoy it very much. When I heard there was a remastered version, I played it, & I feel that it addressed all of the problems I had with the original (random crashing, lag spikes, weird bugs, etc.) I chose Hard difficulty because I wanted to get some more experience under my belt & challenge myself, and to-date, this is probably my most rewarding accomplishment.

The game itself is incredibly creative, funny, & I love how it pulls several references from older video games. It was really hard for me to actually get mad at this game when the traps were clever. For example, I thought the spike platform crashing down on you in the second forest room after hopping on clouds was hilarious, and I was laughing because of how caught off-guard I was. I think the only area I actually disliked was the Metroid area, because of how many times you need to shoot Mother Brain while dodging the spaghettios(?) in the room. Other than that, everything is pretty fair in this game.

I've gotta say that I felt so accomplished & happy with myself to clear this game on Hard difficulty in my first ever playthrough, & how determined I was the entire time.

For newer players getting into aiwannas, the remastered isn't very different from the original, but it does add more content & it is WAY more stable, so I definitely recommend it.

Returning to this game was much less painful than my first time playing the original. That said I still hate this game and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The Original game with a better engine as well as a few tweaks and changes while also removing crashes and bugs/gamebreaks (unless enabled in the extra settings!!)

What more can I say?? IWBTG is an internet classic. It's definitely my favorite freeware game ever made, and everyone should play it.

My biggest takeaway after clearing, is that when you remove all the glitches, bugs and bad mechanics from the original, it turns out this is an awesome game!

This remaster was both well needed and greatly executed. It can definitely be recommended to someone even without the nostalgia effect.

Great job!
