✦ AI summary

Players are divided on this puzzle game. Some appreciate its short, entertaining experience with clever level design and humor, noting it's worth playing despite being completable in under an hour. However, others criticize it heavily for allegedly copying levels from the mobile game "hocus," combined with visual design issues like unclear color schemes and missing edge lines that make certain levels frustratingly difficult to parse.

Not recommended Sep 21, 2026
Pretentious little game that feels like a very stripped down Monument Valley with added plot elements that nobody asked for. Conrols kinda suck (especially on a controller). Apparently this is also a clone of another earlier game (Hocus). Not worth your time or money.

Short but very interessting puzzle game. Worth the 2€ spend. Runs fine on an 12-year-old Linux-PC.

THE IMPOSSIBLE is essentially a rip-off of the mobile game "hocus.", with many most its levels essentially lifted from that game, though modified a bit with extra bridges and moved goal positions. The added narration does little to improve the formula. Most frustratingly, the color scheme and lack of edge lines in some places makes it harder to parse some levels, the first example of which being Level 6. This game's only redeeming quality is its price tag at its usual 85% discount. Just for fun, I've compiled a list of every level in this game and its obvious counterpart in hocus.: [table] [tr][th]IMPOSSIBLE[/th][th]hocus.[/th][/tr] [tr][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][/tr] [tr][td]2[/td][td]4[/td][/tr] [tr][td]3[/td][td]3[/td][/tr] [tr][td]4[/td][td]6[/td][/tr] [tr][td]5[/td][td]7[/td][/tr] [tr][td]6[/td][td]9[/td][/tr] [tr][td]7[/td][td]10[/td][/tr] [tr][td]8[/td][td]12?[/td][/tr] [tr][td]9[/td][td]13[/td][/tr] [tr][td]10[/td][td]13 (again)[/td][/tr] [tr][td]11[/td][td]18[/td][/tr] [tr][td]12[/td][td]N/A[/td][/tr] [tr][td]13[/td][td]20[/td][/tr] [tr][td]14[/td][td]21[/td][/tr] [tr][td]15[/td][td]23[/td][/tr] [tr][td]16[/td][td]24[/td][/tr] [tr][td]17[/td][td]25[/td][/tr] [tr][td]18[/td][td]…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
