About The Impossible Game

✦ AI summary

The Impossible Game is a one-button precision platformer where you guide a square through brutal spike-filled levels, with every mistake forcing you back to the start. Master the rhythm-synced obstacles, compete for medals, create your own devilish levels in the exclusive Level Editor, and challenge players worldwide.

The super-addictive and very, very hard platform game finally arrives on Steam - it's quite possibly the world's hardest game!

With just one button, guide your orange square over spikes and jump onto blocks to get to the end of the level. Sounds easy? Any mistake results in instant death, sending you back to the beginning of the level. With an awesome soundtrack synced to the game you’ll quickly become addicted!

Try and unlock medals throughout the game, including beating the game with no flags — all synced up with Steam Achievements — and use checkpoints to learn the levels with Practice Mode, allowing you to lay checkpoints along the way.

As well as five classic Impossible Game levels, this desktop version includes an EXCLUSIVE new Level Editor. Design your own near-impossible levels and send them over the internet to challenge the world!

✦ AI summary

The Impossible Game is a classic geometry-based platformer that serves as a solid prequel to its successor, praised for its grounded design and memorable level challenge despite providing only 1-4 hours of content. Players commonly complain about performance issues including crashes, jitter, and lagspikes, along with frustrating physics that feel worse than newer alternatives, with the Heaven level being a particular point of contention.

God this game is bad. How can a game with such little going on run so poorly. multiple crashes and constant jitter.

A classic for a reason. Short & sweet. If you HAVEN'T played GD I'd highly recommend playing this first if you have the money for both IG & GD (if not just get GD), this is basically the prequel game. And for those of you who have played GD, it's definitely worth it to go back and revisit (or just visit) this classic game. You're likely going to get between 1-4 hours of content depending on what you've achieved in GD. Also ♥♥♥♥ Heaven that thing plays like a map pack level but it was pretty fun to memorize tbh

my laptop might not be the best but i can run newer 2d games a lot smoother than this, way too many lagspikes. also why is heaven like that

The OG. Has a few weird quirks and the physics are generally worse than its spiritual successor, however it does stay significantly more grounded. Oh yeah, there's also a pretty bad sequel that looks like a Blooket game. We don't need to talk about that.

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.
