Git gud. How far are you?

There really are no tips aside from double bullets for bosses later on

Play an easier IWBTG game first

>400 deaths

You barely even started m8.

Maybe do what >>15543924 said.

I got through the original IWBTG with deaths in a little under 250 deaths on the second easiest difficulty my first time around. Some of the other games of the style are a hell of a lot harder. The vast majority of the difficulty comes down to execution, but having an intuition for what kind of easily avoidable cruel trap might be waiting just after the bend will stop you from having to do difficult sections over. Like a sixth sense for Kaizo blocks, except instead of blocks, anything can happen, and it's usually humorous.

My favorite trap in the IWBTG-like games is one of the first ones in the first games. You meet the usual Mega Man-type disappearing and reappearing blocks, and you have an opportunity to study the pattern before you get on. Once you start jumping on them, the pattern changes at the end.

how do you get stuck on the easiest boss?

>>15543954

By having to deal with the fucking intro everytime I enter against him. Seriously just fuck it, it takes too much. Can deal with dying every time but having to wait like 10 seconds every time I enter the arena just gets grating.

I mean there's a bunch of stuff you wanna know if you're gonna play harder fangames (per frame jump arcs, bunnyhops, H aligns, V aligns, engine specific bugs) but in boshy you don't need any of those smaller details

Try something easier to get you in the mood maybe

If lowering the FPS actually slows down the gameplay and they're not only aware of it but give it as an option, then that's hilarious. Otherwise it shouldn't matter.

I think it slows down the game and also changes how fast the blocks blink in and out in that screen but I'm not sure. The default was 50 and it doesn't allow lowering more than that, I just had it bumped to 60 when I started playing

I couldn't stand boshy when i played it back in the day, maybe I'll re-visit it sometime. You've still got a loooong way to go.

Some of the best fangames I've played are Not Another Needle Game, I wanna kill the guy (unfinished), a relatively recent one called I wanna run the Marathon, and I wanna be the co-op (a 2-player co-op fangame). I would recommend those way before boshy, although boshy has great production value. The maker of boshy made a game later called wings of vi, and it was pretty great.

>>15551845

The original IWBTG is shit. There are thousands of fangames to play of all difficulty levels. Try something like I Wanna Go Across the Rainbow for easier platforming that you might be able to complete in a reasonable time, or look up easier ones with good ratings on Delicious Fruit. Boshy has bosses that are brick walls you could get stuck at a long time.

play superior game
