'I Wanna be The Guy' (Yes, it's a game title.)

It reminds me of Mega/Rock Man.... if he only had one bar of life on his life gauge. The game can be quite difficult at times, but I think it's part of its charm. It also has home to quite a few game themes to it as well. Don't know if anyone's played it yet or not, but you can find it here. http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/index.php
(Be cool, get the fs(fullspeed) version and not the slo-mo one.) It does support game-pads as well, just so you know. You'll have to select to use a pad when you start it from its menu, though.

I don't really get the "reminds me of Mega/Rock Man" bit. It's a blatant ripoff of several games, the screenshots are proof of that, even with the Zelda screen. I'm all for indie developers, but they need to have a bit of originality at least.

I believe the point is that it is supposed to be an obvious parody.

If you want an original indie title, try out Cave Story. (Doukutsu Monogatari)

I still haven't played that one yet... I have the translation patch and such, but just haven't gotten around to installing it and playing it.

It's seriously quality enjoyment (metroid-like gameplay). I think the game isn't too long, 3-4 hours IIRC

Sorry, but parodies of games which are composed of complete awesome don't really work well for me in my opinion.
