Kinda like golfing upwards. It's all about calculating trajectories and nailing the timing. But while Everybody's Golf and the like are all about playing some holes to relax and have a good time, this is the complete opposite. There's something commendable about the concept and the simplicity of it, it's almost elegant in its insidiousness. You can take whatever time you desire preparing each jump, the distance and trajectory are always the same... it would be an extremely fair game if it wasn't designed to be extremely challenging and punishing.

This is one of the better kinds of meme rage games, because there's an ever constant sense of predictability and the only thing that messes everything up... is the player itself. Because it's difficult to nail every jump, because eventually you'll lose focus, because eventually you'll become frustrated and it'll lead you to make more mistakes... but the game mechanics stay the same.

At the same time tho, it doesn't have quite the physicality of a Getting Over It nor the over the top originality and twisted sense of humor of something like I Wanna Be The Guy, so unless you really like the game's simple mechanics and want to master it, there's not a whole lot of stimuli outside your enragement seeing your character fall inconceivable amounts of height. So... yea, it's cool but also there's not much to it. It's one of those games that really benefit from a community component, seeing other people struggle the same jumps as you, screw up in the most dumb ways imaginable... it can lead to some good laughs, but so can a lot of other games with the right company.

So, yea, Imma go back to playing some golf games.
