Though some areas aren't just Nintendo Hard and riddled with random deaths, a good deal of them are also slow and tedious. Sure, you might know how to complete the first 90% of this area perfectly, it's just that last part that's tricky. It's kinda annoying to wait ten minutes to get to the important part, only to die and have to wait another ten minutes for your second attempt.

Getting angry is fun. Getting angry over petty things even better.

I think everyone has pretty much summed up the pros and cons of the game. I feel like all the manliness gained from IWBTG could also be gained from a 3 life win of Contra, Spluenky, or Solar Jetman. I will say that the levels I have heard of sound like excellent creativity. It is a game I want to like, but the wait 10 minutes just to die at the end of the level is unaccpetable to me.

Then play on normal, so you only have to wait 5.

Beat it a while back.
Not willing to beat it again.
Too much effort.

Some of the unpredictable deaths (i.e. the first time the moon [REDACTED]) made me laugh my ass off. Those ones have their upsides. Namely hilarity.
