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.

Outdated. Was decent back in the day. Nostalgic.

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!

Where it all began. Many people tend to look down at this one as worthless, but I honestly think it serves its purpose as a funny, trap-based game. Sure, it has any flaws, but it's more interesting than a lot of what comes from the community. The platforming is pretty good for the most part, and the traps are mostly well-placed. Kayin tested this game rather well for human tolerance. The bosses are fun too, aside from the Clown Car guys. As someone who started with it, I recommend this game.
