About I wanna be The Cat

I wanna be the Cat is a challenging roguelite platformer inspired by I wanna be the Guy fangames.
Fight against famous videogame characters turned into cats and try to claim "THE CAT" as the ultimate title.

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED CONTENT


For this special occasion, more than 2000+ levels have been created by the community. Coupled with a smart world generation, every single playthrough is completely different each time you play from the levels and objects you get to the enemies you fight. Take on the challenge that keep getting harder and crazier but you can control it by adjusting the difficulty at any time.

3 GAMEMODES


Solo mode
You only get 100 lives to finish the game. Lose all of them and you will have to start from the beginning.
Fortunately, you can buy objects, skills and lives from many shops during your journey. Moreover, at the end of every playthrough, you also get to buy permanent upgrades helping you the next time you play.
What would be a tribute to these Guy fangames without its countless spikes and epic fights. All 12 bosses can't wait to slaughter you on sight so prepare yourself already for a challenging yet very rewarding adventure.

Race mode
Challenge your friends and everyone around the world to crazy fast paced races up to 8 players at once. Seeded or randomly generated with different difficulties, only one can claim the throne !

Magic Tower mode
If you manage to beat the game on hard mode, you will be able to play this key-lock puzzle-rpg oriented gamemode. Climb your way up to the top floor, defeating powerful enemies and trying to manage your resources carefully. This gamemode alone represents more than 5 hours worth of gameplay.

fun little roguelite platformer that serves as a great entry point into fangames. magic tower mode is also really fun to play through as the bosses are an enjoyable challenge to do hitless. no major complaints with the game overall.

I wanna be the roguelike. Very fun game, good level designs, lots of precision spike levels, and the achievements were fun challenges to go for. Bosses are kind of RNG which sucks if you want to no hit them but it didn't really ruin much of my experience. Would highly recommend if you like IWBTG fangames or precision platformers. 9/10.

Recommended May 29, 2023
Although the price point to content ratio is fairly steep, this game ends up delivering very well on both fronts of being a cute IWBTG fangame and serving a challenge that's welcoming to the average enthusiast of precision platformers/I Wanna Be The Guy fangames. It's definitely easier than the games it's basing itself off from, but that's what makes it inviting. It's also absolutely entertaining to see references to bosses and characters from other IWBTG fangames, especially in 2023. It's like seeing an old friend (or perhaps an old enemy in this context).
