One randomly chosen video tells more than enough:

IWBTG is different from most of the modern games, thanks to it's difficulty. If you think something could kill you, it will. Even if it looks harmless, it kills you. Obejects in the background will kill you. Delicious fruits falling upwards will kill you. The storyline is simple: You are the kid but you wanna be the Guy, to become the Guy, you must defeat the former Guy. There are manybosses and areas based on old NES-games, like Punch Out, Ghosts and Goblins and Zelda.
I had to make topic about this, I'm currently beating the final boss, The Guy and I want to know if anyone else has what it takes to beat him. On my way there, I died at least 1100 times, impossible to say the exact number, I started with buggy version and the dead counter stopped working around 350 deaths.
Even if you don't like the game, I recommend wathcing some of cloud8745's videos, the commentary is funny.
You can get the game here:

In the red box is a demo, under it is the full version. The demo is for the people who don't want to download the full game just to notice they can't get past the first screen :p .

Yeah that's good stuff.
After beating the Guy I'm going to try doing some runs on Impossible difficulty (no saves at all). I've heard someone made it to the guy on Impossible, the meker of the game received an e-mail about the very last save block, saying it could be possible to save there. If he actually did it...wow.

Z : fire ! & pass intro

I'm stuck on the third screen. I have a hunch on how to do it, but just can't pull it off.
This game is hard, but dang it it's fun

Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.
So long, farewell.
