one of those goofy games that gets 1-starred on purpose because it's so-bad-its-good.

This game is... Just awful, in all the right ways. It's frustrating, but the fun kind. You climb, you fall. It's the way of life. Though never in my entire journey to 50 wins have I ever felt like my losses were the game's fault. Every fall, loss, bit of frustration felt like it was up to me. I could have done better. I could have avoided it. Besting this challenge for the first time was horrible, unyielding, and gruesome. But that just makes the satisfaction greater at the end. The 50th playthrough still felt the same, just not as extreme. Every fall was still frustrating. Every loss felt horrible. But after, I'm proud to say... I got over it.

100 meters done. A fun hour of learning little ways to lurch forward consistently/systematically. Brutal plot twist halfway through.

played the mobile version of this back in the day to kill time and it definitely was good at that. Having to coordinate each leg muscle to make a person run is fun both in a gamey way where finding the proper rhythm to make the dude run is key as well as a "whoa humans are pretty cool" kind of way as this is something that anyone with functional legs can do without even thinking about it so that's kinda neat. it's simple enough that I could recommend giving it a play, even if it's a 5-minute one.
