Everyday there is a new fangame added to delicious fruit though few strive to break the norm. I wanna be the EDGE can best be compared to the Van Gogh of fangames, hated for its time but revered in the future. As EDGE breaks what is standard for fangames many people try and fail to understand the true meaning behind it. "Hidden Mazes? Ear splitting sound design? BAH! I'm going to go back to my avoidance thank you very much." But for the few who stop and understand EDGE (Edgers) they learn the true meaning behind it, and how it is a critique of modern fangame design. As many have mentioned it is "impossible" to beat the game, but unlike those simpletons I see this as a metaphor. The impossibility at the end is referencing your struggles with previous fangames and how it can all seem impossible but really it isn't. EDGE shall one day be viewed by millions in an art gallery, mark my words.

All things considered, it's kind of impressive how long this game is. Eventually, you reach a point where you get used to all the random traps, awful boss design, enemy spam, hidden block mazes, hidden paths, earrape spike walls, strangely realistic backgrounds, minimal level design effort, bad platform cycles, bad screen transitions, and the occasional "where do I go?" moment. The "trap card" meme was funny but definitely overused. At the very least, the game is not frustrating; it's just terrible in almost every way possible.
As for the "impossible" rating, there is a save pretty far in the game with a missing warp, requiring savehacking to get through. There is also an issue with the boss in the area after that, where because of an error in how the boss' HP is checked, he goes into negative HP indefinitely. The game also ends suddenly upon killing the last boss without giving you a warp or anything to progress; going into the game files, the room ID's do not progress any further either, so it seems the game ends there.
