I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game: The Picture Book - Page 5

Khael! · 07-24-2008, 01:24 AM

I am contemplating the odds: do I get another game and possibly damage my laptop forever? Or do I go without becoming The Guy?

I'll have to get this game.

It depends on how destructive you get when really frustrated. I prefer playing it in small parts. I mean, even if it takes me months and months to beat it, it's better than the grey hair this game can cause from playing it for too long in a short period of time.

The website where you download the game has been down for quite some time. I wonder why..

I've been stuck at the dracula fight for the past few months, mostly 'cuase I keep getting to frustrated and forgetting about it. I have that damn speach engraved in my brain now... What is a man *glassy death* a miserable little pile of secrets...Argh!

You know there's a boss mode right? All you do is fight the bosses.

Yea, that's fucktardedly fun. :p

Yunno, when I was randomly pressing buttons on the intro scene, the music stopped. So I kept at it, and after pressing the spacebar, I think, I got to a room that led me to all of the bosses. I thought it was a bug, though.

Also, since this Let's play has been started, I've started playing again, and have felled two more bosses, bringing me to four. Huzzah!

You can also press "B" to get to the boss room.

Also, does anyone else find the initial control scheme annoying? Especially when pertaining to stickykeys and the shift button?

Kerensky287 · 07-24-2008, 02:55 PM

I turned off all of the shift-related shortcuts on my computer LONG ago because I have a tendency to hold down the shift button when I'm not sure what to type.

Also, in any FPS game I'd rather have Shift as my crouch button than Ctrl, and it got annoying for that blurb to pop up every 5 minutes.

So, no, I actually find the control scheme pretty good.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I found the game and downloaded it. I forget where, but it took a simple bit of googling ("i wanna be the guy download"). I officially suck at the game. When you go up and there's that section with the cliff, the clouds above, and the houses below, what the hell are you supposed to do? I'm pretty sure it's a dead end, but then that means that the entire upward route is useless.

Here, in spoiler tags: Y'know how there's this small bed of spikes that falls on top of you at an impossibly fast rate? Jump on top of that.

Welcome to I Wanna Be the Guy. It's okay to cry.

Edit: The trick to this game is to play by a rule: You never go more than say, two save points in one session. That way you always end on a high note, BEFORE you get obscenely pissed.

You do know you can hit S to skip that part, right?

That's funny because the website's back up again. I got it from a different website as well, but I redownloaded it just to make sure I have the latest version.

There's invisible platforms just like the previous screen and it leads to the "Game Over" room. Which is, as you said, a dead end. So you really have no choice but to do what Loyal said.
