The death count displayed in the picture above greatly misrepresents how many times Matt died. He died many more times. The thing about it, though, is that he enjoyed it and kept at it despite that. The level he played could probably be beaten in approximately three minutes if played perfectly. After 21 minutes and 16 recorded deaths, he still had not beaten it.
Hardcore Gamer: If you like having your mettle tested on a second by second basis in games, then this week's Humble Bundle is for you.
Wings of Vi is a challenging 2d platformer with great sprite artwork, charming chiptunes and a vibrant aesthetic throughout. Those into games like Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be The Guy will get their fix with this title.
NGNW:
"Explaining the appeal of playing I Wanna Be The Boshy is always a teensy bit tricky. Sure, as a spectator to the offensively unfair fan-game you might at least get the chance to see a man's sanity and well-being slowly pecked away by the ultra-precise platforming – it being a morbidly fascinating Twitch.tv staple and everything – but why anybody would actually sit down and play it for the purposes of entertainment is a question to be asked in a much more incredulous tone. It is, I think, a game of pure achievement: enjoyment isn't derived from the gameplay itself so much as the sheer sobbing relief – after several sleepless nights and developing a minor substance abuse problem – of just barely reaching the next checkpoint. It's an icy jagged cliff to throw yourself against; every ledge merely an excuse to pat yourself on the back."
