You'd think this game would be bad by the premise. Putting aside the fact that it is by most metrics a "meme" game, the trials in Squid Game aren't designed with fair chances or skill in mind. They are very deliberately designed to instigate paranoia, hostility and fear among those who participate and often run on systems such as dumb luck to really push in the frustration.

Despite this, Crab Game just manages to be skill-based enough - and its physics goofy enough - to be an enjoyable time with friends or in public lobbies.
