YMMV / I Wanna Be The Boshy

Go To

  • Best Boss Ever:
    • Ryu and Missingno are common choices for fans thanks to their epic music and for being well-designed boss fights.
    • If the game is given a major nod in any other fangame, the Final Boss is commonly added as a late game boss, with at least four other games using Solgryn. A notable example is the I Wanna Kill the Kamilia series, which included Solgryn in all three games in some form. note 
  • Breather Boss: None of the bosses are really easy, but there are plenty, mostly surrounding the main trio.
  • Common Knowledge: There exists a common misconception that the game was made as a spiteful response to streamer BoshyTime complaining that I Wanna Be the Guy was not hard enough. However, Solgryn had officially jossed this claim in his Twitter, also clarifying that the game was actually made as a tribute to him due to him being one of the first streamers he watched.
  • Game-Breaker: Sonic The Hedgehog can absolutely decimate most platforming sections in the hands of a skilled player. Behold.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: The aptly-named "Ear Rape Spider", which just loves to burst in on you with a loud roar whenever you stop expecting it. Many players agree that the game would be much better if it didn't try to Jump Scare player every thirty minutes or so, long after the joke wears off.
  • That One Attack: After an update, Ryu was given a new attack in which Chun Li, Blanka, and Dhalsim come out and attack. Chun Li and Blanka aren't too bad, but Dhalsim requires you to be really, really good at button mashing. And to make it even worse, depending on how long Blanka's attack lasts, countering Dhalsim might be nigh impossible.
  • That One Boss:
    • Mario peppers the screen with hundreds of fireballs, and his second phase is a massive pain in the ass thanks to the erratic movements of Mario and the Koopa-troops. And if that wasn't enough, he has a third phase in which he gets incresingly smaller and faster the nearer he is to death. And he's only the third boss of the game.
    • Sonic is, fittingly, blazing fast and requires lightning reflexes to dodge. Not only that, his flight pattern as Super Sonic is random. Between the Egg Machine throwing bombs, his Chaos Emerald spam, and the reduced screen size in the Super Sonic phase, the fight is widely agreed to be one of the hardest, even moreso for speedrunners.
    • MegaMan combines the projectile spam of both previous fights with a good deal of Interface Screw and his last phase requires you to be really good at button mashing, as otherwise you are guaranteed to die. It doesn't help that the Robot Masters can eat plenty of bullets, increasing the chances you get hit by a stray projectile.
  • That One Level: The Spike Room. You will die thousands of times before getting past it.
