This reminds me of Super Meat Boy. A game I invested many hours into during Steam sales, and it is as brutal and frustrating as this game.

I love platformers too, I remember playing Mega Man 3 as a kid and somehow finishing it at the tender age of 8yo. I tried playing it again via emulator in my 20s and it I herp derped all over the place. Not sure what happened to me.

Having played both, (SMB and IWBTG), they're a bit different, SMB is actually this incredibly skillful game, at no point do you just "die for no reason" kind of thing, its obvious what your goal is, what kills you, and what youre suppose to do, its just INSANELY hard to execute, IWBTG has a lot of that aspect too, but also a lot of "oh..." deaths, in which you literally have no way of knowing it wouldve killed you untill you die, and parts which serve no point (literally) other than to waste your time. (a good example is opening screen, which i won't ruin, but i spent about 30 minutes to get, after a figured it out, 1 second through the game)
