This is a faithful remaster of the original I Wanna Be The Guy, aiming to balance the spirit of the original game with the desire for consistent physics like the fangames that came after while fixing some of the jank.
This was created using Yuuutu engine in Game Maker 8.2, and has been prepatched with gm8x_fix (https://github.com/skyfloogle/gm8x_fix). The source code has been included (GM 8.2).
→ New Features:
Fangame physics
Perfect quality re-recorded audio
Cleaned up sprite scaling
Controller support
Button remapping
Separate volume sliders
Smooth 50FPS and Vsync option
Fullscreen with crisp pixel filtering
200% scaling window mode for compatible displays
800x600 fullscreen mode for compatible displays
Optional restarting music
Reduced input lag and no background input
Dipswitches to customize your experience
Unlockable content

Unintended crashing
We hope you enjoy this remaster!

I finally beat this game after initially discovering it 11 years ago. Definitely way easier than I remember it to be.
Remake quality is absolutely top notch. The gameplay is... well, I found it decently fun, it would be way better if most bosses weren't mash fests though

It's truly hard to rate this because I'm not sure what I should be rating. I would say that this is a perfect remaster, it truly fixes all the actual bugs and crashes of the original game, and makes it suitable for actually playing again. If I was going to rate this based on the remastered aspect itself, I would say it's easily a 9, so that's what I'll give my rating through.
With that said, I now realize after playing this for my 500th fangame, I really just don't like OG guy. It is very obvious that the game has good parts in it that have influenced our own games for more than a decade, but it's also clear after playing those games that this has so many faults. The platforming is riddled with incredibly annoying segments, such as the Tetris section not having a save before it on normal, two Yoku block segments and a lot of platform rides you need to inch yourself through small gaps on.
The big elephant in the room though is the bosses, which are extremely mash-heavy. This game would legitimately not be playable for me if I didn't use an autofire tool due to having CTS in both hands. This also leads into probably the only complaint I have for the remastered, hence the 9 rating, I understand that it aims to be a mostly faithful replication, but holy shit do I wish they fixed this aspect. Because of this, I still think the game is just not good, and honestly still would not recommend it to anyone with hand pain or those against mashing. This was a pretty unfortunate realization for me.
With that said, it's hard not to show respect to a project like this, hell it's the reason we're all here today. If you want to play the OG Guy, then play this, and if you can't handle the boss mashing use autofire, it doesn't take away your win in my eyes.

Awesome remake of the original. You can really see the hours of dedication and care put in by the team behind this remake. Special rewards for completion along with plenty of homages to the original game make this a delight for oldtimers and new players alike, Highly recommend!

The remaster that everyone needed. Extremely faithful to the original, minus the needless crashes, bugs, and restarting music.
And now apparently there is a ton of unlockable content!
Clearing this game restored my faith in my ability to play IWBTG games.
