Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say ( 3 ):

There's definitely something attractive in the simple presentation of the game: You are an orange square which zips along and must jump on black square and jump over triangles. But the whole things moves as such speed and requires such absolute precision that it feels, well, impossible. But that is the whole point of this app --THE IMPOSSIBLE GAME takes pride in its extreme difficulty. And perhaps there are people out there who thrive on the challenge and are willing to attempt the same little section of a game over and over and over until they manage to make it past. But for casual gamers, it feels more like punishment than fun. If a tough challenge appeals to you, by all means, try the game.
