I WANNA BE THE GUY - Hard Game

This game is sadistic. It loves killing you. It is a source of endless frustration. Actually, truth be told I'm enjoying it a great deal, though I've racked up 549 deaths over the course of an hour and 20 minutes of gameplay and three bosses. Probably because the maker crafted levels with slight variations in timing, platform placement, falling object speed/direction, etc to kill you new ways almost every time. For instance, in one of the first screens, you have to dodge through a grove of trees as apples fall down on you. You get to the end and jump onto a platform...and a leftover apple, defying gravity, flyies straight up through the air to slice you into pieces.

Here's a video of some guy going through the first few screens of the game:

His voice is pretty annoying but it's a pretty good example of how the game works.

Thanks!

This is possibly THE most annoyingly hard game I've ever played!
(and I used to play Rick Dangerous years ago....)

There goes my week off work.

Ah, I remember Rick Dangerous. Nasty stuff.

This game reminds me of a Super Mario Bros mod Hierachy showed me. Insane.

I've come to a standstill in this game. I cannot cross the current screens on two files or beat the three-in-one propeller bucket boss.

devilishly fun.
