Have too much time on your hands? Feel that you've run out of games to play? Feel that no game is challenging enough for you?
Introducing... the World's Hardest Game.
At first I thought that this game had overdone itself by inserting a hyperbole like "Hardest". I've played some pretty hard games. Surely this couldn't come anywhere near the Impossible Quiz. Or all the different games I'd played on hardest difficulty like Resident Evil 4 where the monsters were only just too happy to feed themselves to my gun till it ran out of bullets.
But this game deserves its tag. Not only is it frustratingly hard, it is actually very addictive because you'll want to beat it no matter any-old-cow-how, because at every stage the game tells you to give up. Humans have this thing about them. When somebody tells you you can't do it, you will want to do it even more. Even if its a stupid computer program and not really somebody. I played it so much after a while I started getting hypnotized by blue circles.
I think I have never been more frustrated at any game in my life, and yet more zealous in wanting to complete it. Try it and you'll know what I mean. The guy in the video makes it look easy. And he's only up to stage 10. If you get stuck on a stage, you can watch how to get past it on Youtube. Watching it and doing it however are two different things, as you will soon realise.
Here's where you can find the game.

And here are some screenshots.
These are the instructions. Now, how could instructions these simple be part of the world's hardest game?
If you actually make it to level 30, tell me. I eventually decided to stop because my eyes were starting to see double and I think I was nearing unhealthy levels of frustration. One can live without such things in life.
