The creation was inspired by a game streamer known as BoshyTime whom Solgryn enjoyed watching. The game is a fangame of I Wanna Be the Guy with the title being a reference to it and many other fangames with similar titles. I Wanna Be The Boshy is a free, notoriously difficult 2D platform game created by Danish game developer Jesper 'Solgryn' Erlandsen.
