Just when you thought things couldn't get any more impossible you're favorite red square is back for round two.
Featuring only two levels and coming in at the price point of $1 (80 MSP) you can't go wrong here if you enjoyed the first entry into this little indie series. The first of the new stages is called Chaos Factory and again has you moving along a single line leaping over various combos of squares, triangles, and pits in an attempt to reach the end of the level. However this time they have a nasty trick up their sleeve when you hit about 1/4 the way through the entire level suddenly flips upside down.
This completely throws your game off as we've never experienced anything like this before with The Impossible Game and it is rather hard to gauge your jumps when you're leaping from the top down. The level will alternate at various points on whether your view is normal or flipped, and it definitely adds a new level of challenge as it changes each time you start to get adjusted to the level. The level layout itself isn't overly difficult either, and the challenge feels just right that you won't be quitting in rage because you aren't progressing after an hour of being stuck.
The second and final level is simply called Heaven and it is by far the most challenging level I've played. The only trick this one brings to the table beyond a punishingly high difficulty is that the level falls apart around you as you move through it. At first the level seems to fall apart and vanish as you pass over it and before you know the level is forming just inches in front of you (cutting your reaction time down by at least half) as well as falling off right behind you. So on top of not having nearly as much time to react the level has you jumping, rolling, sliding, and so many other things at once you'll almost be thankful you have less to focus on at once on the screen.
Heaven really pushes your reflexes to the edge, changing up spacing and the timing of jumps without warning and often having you land only to wait a split second before jumping again. If you're even a fraction of a second off you'll either fall short or overshoot your jump. This level definitely showcases that The Impossible Game can still be incredibly challenging without having to resort to cheap tricks and once you complete it in a single attempt you'll definitely feel as if you've overcome a serious gaming challenge.
So there you have it, if you're a fan you're definitely going to love the two newest levels and those who have yet to experience The Impossible Game will also find quite abit of enjoyment here if they enjoy being challenged. I'm giving this one a 9.5 out of 10 simply because the level design is top notch, the music is fantastic as well as each level having its own song, and the levels are different enough that they don't feel similar in the least. The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect 10 is once you complete both levels there is no reason left to play. For $1 you can't go wrong if you're a fan of classic gaming goodness and are looking for a challenge. Whether it is on your 360, iPhone, or Android phone you can enjoy The Impossible Game.
