This game first fan for me. It so good I cry ;_; every stage has so many good gameplay it doesn't overstay the welcome. Boss are phenomenal, especially Sonic and Megaman.... Mash is very good, I wish more game would be mash... all the game reference is great good and because of secrets this game is an actual game! I wish more people who makes game would play this game and try making game like it... because it's so good! Best I wanna

Boshy kills me. It's an absolutely stunning game overflowing with unique ideas, interesting gameplay, compelling aesthetics, and epic moments. The amount of secrets and additional content on top of an already long game is frankly insane. It is undeniably one of the most iconic fangames of all time and pivotal to the history and enduring popularity of the community.
So why the low score? Because for all the amazing aspects it is a seriously unbalanced game. The difficulty spikes are ridiculous. I personally bounced after wasting several hours not getting better at the Sonic boss. I remember Boshy speedrunner Witwix said that that is where most casual gamers give up, so I'm not ashamed to admit that. It points to an underlying excess and lack of constraint that ruins a lot of the fun. Case in point; the Ryu fight is one of my favourite bosses in all of fangaming, with an incredible soundtrack and compelling setup. Solgryn really has a feel for creating "epic" moments beyond what most fangame creators are capable of. However, he can't help himself...he just had to put in a ridiculous button mashing section in the Ryu fight that was completely unnecessary and adds no enjoyment to it at all. This defines "IWBTB" well actually; technically incredible, but ruined by a lack of restraint.
Beyond that, some of the gimmicks are childish and unenjoyable (spinning screens for instance), and a lot of the humour is meme-based and has really not aged well at all.
It's almost an insult to the wild vision of its creator to suggest that this game needs editing, but it really does. Its excesses are just too severe to be remotely enjoyable. There is a near perfect game here lying underneath a some shockingly poor gameplay choices and excessive difficulty. The best fangame to watch other people play, but not fun to play itself. To quote Witwix: "Boshy is an amazing game; 10/10, don't play it."

The best part about this game are the bosses. It feels good when you beat one and it feels even better when you learn how to kill them really fast! Aside from the bosses the rest of the game is incredibly enjoyable too! Cool Gimmicks, Cool Characters, Cool Bosses. There are some wacky jumps but that's the charm of IWB games and I like that for some reason. This game is worth a shot!
