The Impossible Game (iPhone)
The Impossible Game is an iPhone conversion of an Xbox 360 indie game. It’s a side-scrolling, one button obstacle course, where you simply need to jump on blocks and avoid jumping on spikes.
It is, as you might expect, very, very difficult. There’s a practice mode, which lets you place checkpoints, but to do things properly you need to get from the start of the game to the end without a single death.
My best score so far is twenty percent.
I doubt I’ll ever do much better.
It’s a brutal, repetitive game of trial and error and trying to force the timing of screen presses into your muscle memory. As such, it’s the kind of thing that many people don’t like at all… but it’s the kind of thing that I’ve enjoyed since the days of Green Beret on the ZX Spectrum.
