The original and the first one I ever played. It is a great game with all the references to other games and the trolls. 'Hard' mode because it is obviously the mode that it is intended to be played on. Although it does have a lot of flaws, it is still worth your time and anyone with any experience can expect to breeze through it quite easily.

People think this is a fangame and they also think it's good because it's the original. lmao

This is a pretty long adventure trap game. Since this is the first of it's kind, the physics are pretty weird, you can't really do small jumps. The game itself contains a lot of traps which are usually pretty good. some of the required boss are hidden behind an invisible wall at the beginning of the game, which is pretty dumb, but this game is so widely known this isn't really a problem. The bosses are simple but certainly not bad. This game has a lot of technical issues such as a memory leak which constantly crashes the game and glitches, especially on the bosses. Overall this game is OK

Okay, first I have to state that I don't love the game because it's the original, only because this is a great game by many aspects. I can't judge it by its engine (which is crap), but gameplay. Platforming isn't that bad really, it wasn't too hard or too easy I guess and I absolutely loved Mecha Birdo and Dragon Devil. Also people say the boss difficulty was unbalanced. It is in fact true, but which game has all boss fights on the same level of difficulty? The further you go, the harder bosses get, deal with it. Honestly, IWBTG was actually a challenge for me all the time - from the beginning to the end. I gained skill through levels as they were getting more tough, just like it should be.

However, I can't say it was flawless. The last chapter (except The Father) was pretty disappointing and some secret items were remarkably too easy to achieve (basically all of them except the third item, that was a bitch!). No fullscreen mode was a drawback, too. But we need to remember that this is the platformer that started the whole idea behind fangames, all the traps, humor and mechanics, and you should still respect that.

The review is based on Hard Mode, which I consider to be the 'normal' mode. btw I'm not good in writing reviews, just as you can see.

Despite the weird physic (which wasn't that much an issue as it's the original physic, we changed) and the frequent crashs, this game is and has always been a masterpiece for me!!

I played that as my first iwbtg game and never heard about any fangames for years so I had all my time to complete this game in very hard, and I have to say I really enjoyed every minute spent in this game (maybe I am quite a masochist since the endings crashed both of the first times I completed this game ^^)

This game has really good references about older games, has many funny traps, and a surprisingly good difficulty curve!

Also unlike many fangames I can really see efforts put into this game from the intro/title screen to the ending


Definitely a must play if you enjoy suffering like me!
