About Maddening Euphoria

Ever feel like you're running around in circles?

Maddening Euphoria is a unique, challenging arcade game with randomly generated level design, in which you control brother and sister duet Mason and Millicent Zane as they flee from their own imagined realisation of their troubles in life - an inescapable wall of death - while avoiding bottomless pits, deadly spikes and speed-reducing pools of thick goo. Keep within spitting distance of the wall to receive a short, colourful Second Wind speed boost and gain the opportunity to be one eighth euphoric.

Not enough for you? Don your favourite fedora, go for eight pieces, and enter the multicoloured rainbow world of Euphoria where time goes even faster, spikes disappear and your survival speeds up dramatically. Or tackle some of the game's 150+ challenges ranging anywhere from trivially easy to borderline unfathomable.

Meanwhile, choose from 36 game themes (or throw it on Shuffle), each with themed poetry telling tales of your demise with anywhere from innocent whimsy to incomparable filth, and ranging from surprisingly clever to embarrassingly hideous. If you're English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, German, Spanish, Japanese, American, or from Bristol or Norwich like we are, I apologise profusely. Also have the game mock your failures in one of 51 ways of varying levels of Britishness. And all of this while other people's highscores pop up and you wonder what some people do with their time.

This is the flashiest, fleshiest Maddening to date. It even has some diamondy bits. And you can turn those off if you're only in it for the circles.

Just don't buy it if you suffer from epilepsy. (Please.)

Maddening Euphoria is an extremely lazy, low effort minimalist console (Switch) ported mobile app-like endless runner where you run around a circle, jumping over procedurally generated obstacles (the developers were so lazy they didn't even bother doing any level design, that's how bad things are here). This really is a great example of how shamefully lazy, low effort and low quality the amateur "indie" game movement really is. The gameplay here is so poor it rivals Flappy Bird, and the developer of that wasn't even being serious about it. It kind of looks like the developers here were, but I can't see how anyone could look at this kind of lazy trash with a straight face and be proud of themselves. Like, if I was a game developer and this was the best I could come up with, I'd be looking for more shifts at the McDonalds I work at. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like th…

Maddening Euphoria, developed and published by Chequered Ink Ltd., is a high-speed, arcade-style platformer that embraces the essence of challenge and repetition. It is one of those deceptively simple games that demand precision, reflex, and patience, blending minimalism with intense gameplay to create something simultaneously punishing and addictive. The premise is straightforward: survive for as long as possible while sprinting around a cylindrical world filled with deadly traps, obstacles, and a relentless wall of doom closing in behind you. The player’s objective is to maintain forward momentum, dodge hazards, and push for higher scores while mastering a set of mechanics that are easy to grasp but difficult to perfect. In this sense, Maddening Euphoria follows the tradition of classic arcade experiences where simplicity and skill are the ultimate test of endurance. The gameplay structure revolves around a single, simple rule—don’t stop moving. The player runs automatically around a looping, cylindrical level that continuously rotates as you move, creating a disorienting sense of motion that keeps your reflexes on edge. The challenge lies in timing your jumps and movements to a…
