Our take on The Impossible Game

The bounce point arrives on a missed jump: failure is immediate, and progress returns to the beginning unless checkpoints have been placed in Practice Mode. Players who do not enjoy repeating precise sections may leave before reaching the medal challenges or level editor.

What is The Impossible Game?

The Impossible Game is a one-button platform game built around precise jumps over spikes and blocks.

A mistake causes immediate death and returns the square to the start of the level. Five classic levels are included, with music synchronized to the action. Practice Mode lets players place checkpoints while learning a level. Medals can be unlocked for challenges such as completing the game without flags, and progress connects with Steam Achievements. The Steam version also includes a level editor for creating near-impossible stages and sharing them online for others to play.
