What Should You Do Today?

Like games?  Like hard games?  How about really frickin’ hard games where just about everything you do will cause you to die?  Then I have just the game for you today.

I Want to be the Guy! is a game hat pays homage to the old 2-D platforming style of video games, with a unique difficulty that will drive you insane.  Offering save points along the way was a must, but just getting to one of those save points itself will prove much more difficult than you would believe.

From the game’s web site ;

 I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game is a sardonic loveletter to the halcyon days of early American videogaming, packaged as a nail-rippingly difficult platform adventure. Players fill the role of The Kid, a youthful, vaguely Megaman-esque protagonist on a quest to become The Guy. This inscrutable plot, however, is just a vehicle for a wide variety of inventive, well-designed and frustrating jump-and-shoot challenges that pay homage to many of the games you loved as a child. The ever-fragile Kid explodes in a shower of red pixels at the slightest brush from the game’s many obstacles, from traditional spikes and bottomless pits to more unconventional killers, such as plantlife and puzzle pieces.

 You’re probably sitting there thinking “How hard could it really be” or “They couldn’t possibly make death possible at every turn” right?  Wrong.

 And you thought Mike Tyson was tough enough before, didn’t you?

Go ahead.  Give it a shot if you think you have what it takes to be the guy! Leave a comment to say how well you did, or didn’t do!
