I Wanna Be the Guy: The Movie: The Game, commonly called I Wanna Be the Guy and abbreviated to IWBTG, is a freeware platform game created by Michael "Kayin" O'Reilly for Microsoft Windows using Multimedia Fusion 2.[1][2][3] First released on October 5, 2007, the game is no longer in active development, though the game's source code was released by Kayin in 2011[4] and a remastered edition was released in 2020.[1][5] IWBTG has unusually difficult platforming elements, unorthodox level design, and uses sound effects, characters, and music from many other games.[6]
