the game is very good and somewhat easy but the game is so amazing that it gets to surpass the original game, but the creator affirmed that he was going to do another project with the same name and never finish the last chapter, but the game is very good

Rating is based off of the first 4 chapters, since chapter 5 is forever unfinished. (Edit; Also, Chapter 5 is trash.)
OH GOD. This was an emotional roller coaster.
(There are many spoilers below this point, but I'm pretty sure most everyone in the community knows this game so idc.)

As is the case with many fangames, the bosses are EXTREMELY hard compared to the platforming areas. Except in Chapter 1, where everything is free.
Chapter 2 is slightly less free (Piranha plant took me a while)
Chapter 3 was intense (ItsBoshyTime BabyRage)
Chapter 4... oh god.
Chapter 4 is tbh the only finished chapter with legitimately hard platforming (that or I'm a needle pro).
Big Boo took me a lot longer than it should have, because the first time I got there, I didn't realize you could up+shift to throw the blocks upward. I spent a long time waiting for the RNG to stack the blocks so that I could throw them at a good height. Even after I looked at a video in order to find out that you could throw the blocks straight up, the boss was still a chaotic RNG festival, and if it weren't for this, I might have given this game a 9.x.
Geezer was INCREDIBLY fun to fight, as I was constantly thinking "Oh, I got to make it to the survival phase, I got to make it to the survival phase, YES I made it to the survival phase, NOOOOOOOOOO" I actually spent a long time not being able to get to the survival phase. (especially because of the ridiculous RNG dependence on the 1st Zelda phase). My first attempt on the boss actually made it to ~16 seconds left on the survival phase. I hadn't made it that far again until I died at 6 seconds a while later. The attempt right after that won.
The production value is fantastic.
The boss design is professional-like and exciting.
The gimmicks are fun.
It's not too easy, but not insane either.
I loved it.

I wanna be the guy 2 pretty much, except it does it any better than any fangame could ever hope to possibly try. it focuses mostly on puzzles but isn't afraid to show how tough some of the saves can be for a first timer. Bosses are fun and memorable and the over all design is perfect. Only reason why it isn't a 10 is well... its not finished...

Amazing game, and acts a great intro for new players to see what a quality fangame should be.

The platforming isn't especially hard except for a few areas, with most of the difficulty revolving around learning the puzzles than execution. That said, the execution isn't necessarily easy. The only minor problem with the platforming (and the reason why this isn't a 10, is that the quality of some areas feel better than others. The third stage was the pinnacle of my enjoyment, and by the time the 4th stage rolled around I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't as good.

The bosses, particularly the final boss of the third and fourth stage were some of the best bosses out of all the fangames I have played. The music was great, the mechanics were great, and it felt like an accomplishment when I beat them.

The production quality is top notch and the game itself is riddled with collectibles for the OCD.

TLDR: Great Game! A must play!

Kill The Guy is one of those fangames which really just needs no introduction. It's so iconic, timeless despite never being finished, and poignant in it's brief runtime, that it's extremely easy to see why the game has the reputation it does. Extremely good and clever gameplay, combined with fun bosses makes for one of the most consistently enjoyable adventure games ever made even in the modern era. It ends abruptly, and is quite anticlimactic in many areas due it not being finished, but that doesn't matter much to me. What's here is top notch, and always will be. A pillar of the community for good reason.
