I Wanna Save the Kids (also known as IWSTK) is a freeware indie video game published by Mike "Kayin" O'Reilly, its creator, in late 2007 worldwide on his official website. It is the prequel to I Wanna Be the Guy (despite being released after it) and therefore chronologically the first game in the I Wanna Be the Guy series. The game's mechanics are inspired by the game Lemmings: The Kid must manage to save some children, who advance regardless of the dangers, and bring them to a safe place in a kind of house. To do this he has several tools at his disposal, but most of the time he is forced to obtain these tools by overcoming IWBTG-worthy maps, complete with spikes, falling cherries and more.

The game features four completely different chapters, all based around our innovative use of the silhouette, with a unique twist to each one of them. In addition to moving and balancing your body to solve levels, you’ll also find yourself swimming inside your silhouette, striking crazy poses to activate contraptions, and awkwardly tiptoeing to avoid dangerous hazards!

Dino Escape is a fun 2D platformer where danger lurks behind every leaf—and survival is just one jump (or dash) away. Players take control of a brave little dinosaur who’s been separated from his pack and stranded in a haunted forest crawling with monstrous creatures, deadly traps, and mysterious ruins. Armed with instinct, agility, and sheer dino grit, you’ll leap over spikes, dash past undead horrors, and trigger ancient switches to unlock the path forward. But beware—swamps swallow the careless whole, flying beasts patrol the skies, and the shadows seem to whisper secrets best left forgotten.
