You’ll pretty much suck no matter what.

The Bible says that on the seventh day God rested. Well I like to believe that on the eighth day he created The Impossible Game and then to fool everyone he jumped forward through time to present day and published it in the app store under the name Flukedude. But don’t let the title of this game fool you! This game is not impossible; just insanely difficult. It’s honestly more like The Insanely Difficult Game of Trial and Error. Trial and error with an awesome soundtrack. With that said, If you’re the type of gamer that is easily frustrated and discouraged by games then this is not the game for you. However, if you are the type of gamer that takes pleasure in the otherworldly challenges offered by difficult games, then this is the game for you.

The object of The Impossible Game is too keep your orange square moving forward for as long as you can until you reach the end of the game. To do this you must avoiding the spikes on the ground and jump from square to square to avoid the solid black pools. Just tap the screen to jump and hold your finger on the screen to keep jumping. What makes this game frustrating is that you have to start over from the very beginning when you “crash”. The thing is that you will fail within the first five seconds. I did it and ever single one of my room mates who played this game did too.

After the first 20 crashes, I was surprisingly not bored. It wasn’t until I crashed for the one hundredth and something time that I started getting pissed off. Anything other than pure luck or perfect timing will make you fail a hundred thousand times. Luckily, they included a practice mode. With this you can fail a hundred more times without having to go all the way back to the beginning! All in all this is a great party app but it’s extreme difficulty will turn a lot of casual gamers off.
