The game is a fangame of I Wanna Be the Guy with the title being a reference to it and many other fangames with similar titles. The creation was inspired by a game streamer known as BoshyTime whom Solgryn enjoyed watching. It is known for being extremely. Downloads for I Wanna be the Guy and I Wanna be the Guy: Gaiden. While both ask you to pay to download them, if it's your first time I suggest putting in a zero (though if you want to pay anyways, I won't stop you!).If IWBTG has given you a good time in the past and you're feeling generous, please feel free to throw a few dollars my way. I Wanna be the Boshy has grown to be a phenomenon almost as big as the original game it was based on. For good reason, too, as Boshy makes evident of Solgryn's gift in game design. The game is far from perfect, but as a fangame its unwise to expect as much. Boshy was the first fangame I played. To no surprise I died.
