Who here has played it? How far did you get?

For those of you who don't know this game, it's a 2d side scrolling platformer which is an homage to the ridiculously impossible platformers of Nintendo or SNES games. The entire game is free. Main page here: http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

For the really really lazy, this link shows resulted gameplay videos. l'm currently watching one from cloud8745.

l only got to the 2nd screen so far, lol

I like the sound of his jump.

I love that when I was trying to figure out the buttons I hit one and my character fucking exploded.

What kind of platformer has a spontaneous combustion button? Jesus fucking christ.

Wait, they have two different exes for a slowmo and frame skipping? That's a little... retarded.

i don't understand how someone could be this good at anything. the horrifying part is he doesn't even come close to beating it.

According to the official forums, there are a total of 147 people who've become the guy. A good part of them have beaten the game many many times (Which is actually 3-4 times) on the highest difficulty, so l guess you'd have to be born with patience equal to that of the Dali Lama.
