Our take on The Hardest Thing
The defining structure is an open-ended physics challenge: each level asks for one target block to be knocked down, but leaves the method to the player’s experimentation with a ball and the surrounding space.
What is The Hardest Thing?
The Hardest Thing is a first-person puzzle game built around physics.
Each level presents a target bullseye block that must be knocked down using a ball and objects in the surrounding area. The game begins with simple challenges, then introduces increasingly complex puzzles as progress continues. New rooms open during the journey, along with additional locations, levels, and game elements to discover. The route to the target is not fixed: players choose how to use the ball and environment to complete each puzzle. Solving more puzzles reveals further parts of the game and extends the journey toward the main goal.

- Solutions involve using a ball and nearby surroundings to bring down a bullseye block.
- 02Increasing Complexity
