"I Wanna Be The Guy" by Aless50 | Geometry Dash 2.2

This is a pretty quick run of "I wanna be the guy". This is not sped up in any way, and a run like this is definitely possible with enough skill and practice. Does this look possible to you?
This is the first platformer level in Geometry Dash 2.2 to get an extreme demon rating, and it deserves it.
The level is pretty simple, but it needs to be with gameplay this difficult. It is pretty hard to do but you eventually get the hang of the movements. Runs on each section are cut together.
Rating: 7/10

I'm gonna be honest, when I saw the upload I thought someone re-made the actual game "I wanna be the guy" in GD, thank God they didn't because that would be top 1 platformer no question.

Song used in I wanna be the guy: Native Construct - The Spark of Archon (From the Quiet World Album)

[@JUSTaMAFFIN]

when i first found out that there's gonna be platformer mode in 2.2 i was 101% sure that people will make a lot of "i wanna be the guy"-like levels

[@TestSubjectBlue]

This is a really cool concept! I would like to see more games remade in platformer mode levels... Maybe Super Meat Boy will be next?

[@Mente_Fugaz]

I can't believe the song it's "spark of acheron-native construct" Is a progressive power metal niche song... Now in videogame sound style .. So amazing and weird

[@aptspikeybird1005]

Sinister Silence hits really hard with the original version

[@niftylololol]

the inverted color part looks so nice

[@bl0ggsM4rbl00d]

It's also the hardest. Took me 2 hours and a half to beat, and half of that time was spent on that forsaken room

[@SkeLeToN140]

I already, in principle, consider platforming to be one of the most difficult modes in the game, but because of this level, platforming has now become completely impossible for me...

[@bl0ggsM4rbl00d]

See, for me it's the opposite. I'm not good with regular GD, to the point I can't beat Hard demons for shit. I have yet to beat HeLL by Serponge in the Demon Gauntlet. But even me, someone who couldn't beat demons like those, beat this level. I guess that just means people have different skills.

[@SkeLeToN140]

@@bl0ggsM4rbl00d For me, as someone who plays well in the normal level mode, “HeLL” is an absolute Easy Demon (it’s very easy).

[@cousinoer6]

I never thought I'd hear a Native Construct remix in a geometry dash fangame level, very good song!

[@solarion13]

it’s so cool that this mediocre cover I made of the spark of the archon last year is suddenly so popular now because of this level lmao

[@sirsamiboi]

This will be hard demons in 2025

[@user-vm6yj8mn6d]

Never

[@thewitchidolsachika6682]

Definitely. This is 100% an extreme checkpointless, but with them it's a hard demon or low insane.

[@stenner5893]

I think a good idea would be that the plat extremes are seperated from the main extremes, so we can have a platformer list and a main list without plat levels. Also, the plat demons should count as another type of demon completed in the profile.

[@stenner5893]

@NinoDiosa Gracias xd

[@nataliexists]

this has basically been done.

[@unglechips]

Fuck yeah. This is the kind of stuff I was expecting.

[@OMORSTUFFidk]

All of my homies wanna be the guy 🔥🔥

[@spxgism]

There should be a platformer level hardeest list I feel like. an honestly this would would probably just be a harder insane demon, simply because of the amount of checkpoints.

[@unkonow5805]

Una persona se lo paso sin puntos de control y más encima récord en tiempo, todo en menos de 3000 intentos así que a duras penas es extreme demon sin puntos de control.

[@thewitchidolsachika6682]

​@@s1enderm4n Extreme demons should be ruthless and take weeks of practice and thousands of attempts. I am a very new GD player, I can't complete even a 8 star insane level. But I did this one in 2800 attempts, 1 sitting and 2:51:40 as my best time. This is not an extreme demon. 💀

[@spxgism]

@@s1enderm4n there's literally no frame perfects

[@TaxEvasion1452]

Compared to actual IWBTG fangames, this is actually really easy Theres so many checkpoints in this level it's actually unreal. Even the original IWBTG has fewer. It's normally RAREto get a checkpoint every 4 rooms, let alone multiple in the same room. As well as that, the timings and precision in this level is not comparable to the harder IWBTG games

[@charuseTV]

It's also 100x more slippery than IWBTG fangames which shouldnt slip at all

[@sawyeruu]

Yeah but to be fair it’s a brand new game and people are still getting used to the slippery ass physics

[@TaxEvasion1452]

@@charuseTVYeah I have noticed in some platformer levels, there is REALLY low friction, so that does affect it a little bit. Although, it doesn't take much to get used to it. It's still not really hard in comparison

[@icecreamslover]

The only IWBTG part thats left in this level is the name, the physics are completely different, there isnt even a double jump

[@charuseTV]

@@TaxEvasion1452 You do kinda have to counter strafe like in CS on a lot of these jumps lol

[@mobilplus4348]

I knew it, i knew that demon platformer will look like this

[@Anikce]

I think that the robot in platformer mode is the most difficult mode. After all, you need to take into account the clamping force in addition to movement. I've played this level and I can say that it's harder than going through Bloodbath.

[@bl0ggsM4rbl00d]

Nah bro you on some shit. Jokes aside, we need to asses people's skills when talking about difficulty. I find regular GD levels to be harder than platformer levels because unlike with the latter I can't slow down and plan ahead like with the former.

[@Anikce]

@@bl0ggsM4rbl00d Yes, you're great

[@moshi29.]

[@filipe4134]

I know people will be mad but hear me out: This is DEFINETELY not an extreme demon. An extreme demon would take me at least 2 days to beat, and i have thousands of hours of experience. I have around 6 hours of platformer so far and i’ve beaten this in 2 hours. No previous experience. Don’t get me wrong, this is shitty hard, but if considered and extreme demon, it makes extremes jokingly easy compared to what they used to be.
