I Wanna Be the Guy: The Movie: The Game (IWBTG) is a 2D platform indie freeware video game created by Michael “Kayin” O’Reilly for Microsoft Windows using Multimedia Fusion 2. First released in October 2007, the game is not in active development despite being listed as a beta, though the source code for the game was released by Kayin in November 2011. IWBTG is mostly known for its unusually difficult platforming elements, unorthodox level design, and its utilization of sound effects, characters and music from many other games.

I did try playing this with a friend of mine. It proved to be difficult, but not insane. It is possible to win, as I’ve seen. A worse game is Syobon, also know as “the most frustrated game”. The game is forgiving only in the fact that you get to start over without having to return to a menu screen.
