✦ 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.

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]…

Fun game. Playing in Escher style levels is simple and slightly baffling in later levels, and there is a good bit of comedy as well (won't spoil it). Game can be completed in under an hour, but is fun and was well worth playing. I'm going to recommend to friends and hope you will take the time to play it as well.

Can be very confusing but it's very entertaining... Kudos for the developer.
