A quirky game made during the era where a lot of games were joking around with the idea of intentionally challenging and obtuse control schemes (eg. I Am Bread, Surgeon Simulator, etc.) This was possibly the originator of that trend to my knowledge, though I could be mistaken.

The difficulty of the controls is pretty exaggerated (at least with a controller), and it starts to feel intuitive fairly quickly. Still, the challenges can be quite fun and satisfying, and the game has a charming sense of humor.
