I Wanna Test The Game Stage Difficulty Tier List
Where runs go to die—ranked.
This stage difficulty tier list ranks rooms in I Wanna Test The Game by how often they end runs for average Roblox players. It assumes keyboard or controller play with basic familiarity from How to Play.
S tier — Expect pain
Sagat (Stage 6) — Multi-pattern boss demanding parries, jumps, and DPS. Guide: How to Beat Sagat.
Stage 3 — Disappearing stairs — First major filter; updates added bite. Guide: Stages 1–3.
A tier — Serious walls
Stage 5 — Maze of Doom — Navigation plus combat stress. Guide: Stages 4–5.
Stage 4 — Moving platforms — Timing boardings; camera mistakes punish hard.
B tier — Respect them
Stage 2 — Lava checkers — Pattern reading; double jump discipline.
Post-boss / finale segments — Players relax too early; stay sharp via Full Walkthrough.
C tier — Tutorial with teeth
Stage 1 — Lava jumps — Deaths happen, but the lessons are clean if you save (How to Save).
Modifiers that shift tiers
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Low gun level | Sagat climbs even higher |
| Mobile play | Precision stages climb |
| Fresh patch traps | Stage 3 / boss climb (Updates) |
| Strong parry skill | Sagat drops a half tier (How to Parry) |
Practice order suggested by tiers
Do not infinite-retry S-tier rooms without studying. Alternate: watch All Traps → attempt 10 times → break → shop XP (Gun shop) → attempt again.

Disclaimer
Fan ranking for a living Roblox beta. Your mileage varies; unfinished elements can make a “C” room glitch into S-tier unfairness—report bugs via Links Discord.
Use the list to aim your homework, then clear the room anyway.
Example ranking rationale (community-style)
- S: Sagat (Stage 6) — multi-mechanic exam
- A: Maze of Doom / late Stage 3 variants — knowledge + length
- B: Moving platforms — readable but greedy
- C: Lava checkers — rhythm learning curve
- D: Early lava jumps — harsh teacher, short loop
Your list can differ if mobile inputs make checkers harder than the maze. Publish your own order in Discord; use this page as a debate starter, then train with the matching guide links.
Personalization matrix
Rate each stage 1–5 for: precision, memory, length, input awkwardness on your device. Sort descending. That is your training queue. Mobile players often rank checkers above moving platforms; PC players often fear disappearing stairs after updates.
Using tiers with guides
S-tier rooms get slow practice with saves every success. C-tier rooms get one clean clear and a checklist tick. Always re-rank after reading Updates. Pair emotional S-tiers with the matching walkthrough pages under Guides rather than grinding blind.
Sample alternate lists
Speedrunner-ish: checkers high (tempo), Sagat medium if gun is maxed.
Casual phone: disappearing stairs + Sagat high, early lava medium.
Controller couch: moving platforms high (camera), maze high (length).
Write your alternate under the same headings as this page, then train the top two only for a week using the stage checklist. Reassess after watching the hazards video on All Traps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Why is Stage 1 so low?
It teaches fundamentals without the longest Retry distances.
Is the maze harder than Sagat?
For some navigationally challenged players, yes—but Sagat usually wins overall.
Where do I read strategies for S-tier rooms?
Stage 3 guide, Maze section in Stages 4–5, and the Sagat guide.
Will scripts change the tier list?
Scripts bypass difficulty entirely; they do not rebalance the game.
