I can get to level 14 with no kills, but thats when I start screwing up

And this is a better link with a bigger play area

I can get the yellow dot on lvl 2.

Thats as far as I can go.

I guess the question is this: if it's not fun, why should we care?

I got through about six levels of this before getting bored and stopping. So yes, it is the world's hardest game. The world's hardest game to have fun playing.

But your job is video games so couldn't you say this is a special "assignment" and "work" on it some more?

Also, really liked the usage of "teh fail" that was cool and made me smile.

off topic : MGO Japan is open but seems they're having login troubles according to the MGO site hehehe

on topic : this is too frustrating to capture my attention o play further

*tries gluing the strands of hair he pulled out, back to his head*

just to level 6 here...

Got to level 4 without issue, then gave up.

Is it my imagination but I wanna be the guy the hardest game?

+ Watch video

ot: @黒天使: Do you know if the direct patch download it working?

ontopic: jesus...

Yeah, i saw this linked on fark a few weeks ago. I got a few levels in (after many deaths) and decided i had many many better things to do.

man that music is a killer. I remember when i first played this game i couldnt go on because of it. Protip: get flashmute. It will save your ears. Definitely a hard game.

Hard game, I like hard games, but it's boring after live 5.

I made it to like level 8 before I got bored ... it's not really hard if you're patient. You just have to study how it moves.

Beat the 1st level on the first shot ... lets see how it goes.

just got to level 20 no deaths

On level 8 and starting to not care anymore.

yea its not that hard.... then again... I havent gotten past the first level yet ;_;

I saw this on Digg the other day. I played it for a bit then i got bored. There is a difference between a boring game and a fun challenging one. I'd much rather get my ass kicked by Ikaruga, COD 4 Vetran, or a wicked level of N before i get my ass handed to me by a stupid, boring, and pointless game.

@ThatGuyOverThere:

Second.

If you pay attention to the pattern in the background it's possible to pinpoint where and when the blue blocks will hit. As mentioned a bit higher up, it's not actually difficult as long as you're patient.

not that hard, just requires patience. i actually liked it

I got to board 5 then I got bored.

It's easy, you just have to see the pattern and have enough fortitude to either wait until you're sure to go so you don't die.

Patience is a virtue. I'm not virtuous.

Hardest game ever? the author of the game should spend a little more time playing games before making a claim like that ;) I mean seriously, buy a ds and go play kuru kuru kururin :)

i got to level 5 and quit... @Detre: yea the music is kinda annoying after a while!

I got past level 4, the windmill level, before the constant mockeries and put-downs started to remind me of my girlfriend. And my mother.

Meh. Not too shabby,no deaths till level 15.

If you have the time, you can definitely hit the top 25 for completing 30 levels without death.

Got bored on level four.

I saw this a while ago. It just takes a while to get the hang of it I think. It took me like 10 tries for the first level then after that I kind figured out how to play the rest of the levels.

Oh and I agree with kylo4; Your use of the word "teh" was full of win in this article.

yeah, played this. good game, I lol at the people who give up. it gets way harder as it goes.

@Schoolimangooli: O_O;;

Yea that was not hard at all. Beat it after 4 deaths.

What's next as "hard game"? Candy Land?

Level 5, 20 deaths on my first go. Then the rotating and colours made me nauseous

@Smeesh: LOL QFT.

I got to level 4 before dying and getting bored.

tried again got to level 8 and got seriously bored , not to mention hand crippling controls hehe

OT : Konami posted that the servers are now down for maintainance , way to to start off the beta heh

@brent_w: got to level 10 and was too bored to continue ...

Level 4, 112 deaths in the last 5 minutes. It doesn't seem like the hardest game ever...at least not yet.

Stuck on Level 8.

I'm not sure how to start the game.

I'm pretty good at figuring out the patterns but I don't have enough patience to wait for the lucky run to get to the next level. Level 6.

I guess I ar dum. I can't even figure out how to make it move...

cant get past one

@Doomstalk: I TOTALLY agree with you there. My best friend always brags about how his gamerscore is sooo much higher than mine and I've had my 360 since launch and he's only had his for like 10 months. If I've got to do something tedious and un-fun to get 30 more gamer points I'm NOT GONNA DO IT. The only achievements I have are from doing what I should be doing: enjoying the game!

Oh and this game is definately NOT the hardest game ever. Play Alien Hominid..or better yet Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins! Hardest game ever indeed!

I got to level 5 and an IM opened up at the very end, and I said "**** this" and quit. Its not hard, its just boring and tedious.

Got to level 5 easy enough, but then it just kind of annoying. Its hard, but more frustrating hard than anything. I think one would have to me masochistic to enjoy this game as such. There is a certain satisfaction to getting to the green area, but overall probably not worth the hassle and patience it demands.

Its name is without a doubt parody, as I have played much harder games. I got to level 6 before deciding to play more later.

I got to level 10 with about 90 kills. It's easier with a joypad, but it's more tedious than hard. I think if the square just moved a bit more responsively it would be fairly fun, but since it's sluggish and slow it just makes the whole thing feel a bit dull.

Level 2 is easy. Don't run straight through the middle. When the first dot goes up, you go down. Then wait for the next dot to up and go across. Rinse and repeat, inching your way across. Grab the yellow dot while you're at it. You suck at games, Owen Good. Why are you here?

"Why! Oh Why couuldnt i have been born a blue dot! Now all the blueball kids gang up on me at school Its not fare I tells ya!"
Its tough being a little redblock in blueballs world.

I'm on level 4 right now, is a bit challenging, but not that hard.
The second was easy, I even forgot to grab the yellow dot, so I have to get back grab it an then head for the exit

Pretty easy to be honest.

Got to level ten, then realized how much not-fun I was having.

The game isnt that hard. Its just time consuming staring at the patterns.

Not hard, just have to find out the patterns, anyway why the hell am I playing this, I just bought Metroid yersteday... (leaves to play on his Wii a game that's actually fun)

I reached level 10 before hitting the menu button and realizing that apprently means reset. The game isn't hard, like everyone has said it's tedious. Having played alot of flash games its easy to spot games like these. People will go out and make these extremely "hard" games just to say that their game is unbeatable. Which to most people means unplayable. Its alot like game what game designers did 15 years ago before they realized no one really cares about high scores on console games, they just want to play something that is enjoyable. Granted there is a longing to beat the game, but it doesn't over come the need to get up make a sandwitch and grind some level on another, more fun, tedious game.

it's not hard... it's frustrating at times, yes, but not hard.

got bored after about 30 seconds.

I actually completed this game a while ago.

At the end it tells you you need pop-ups blocked to register your name. I excitedly unblocked them, reloading the page. An afternoon well-spent.

got to level 6..

You can't figure out how to get the dot O.o;;;? You move across to the colum just as the dot starts moving down follow it down, then move back up and cross into the next column.

Im beginning to wonder if the guys at kotaku are having to write about games too much and don't get to play them enough.

First Fahey says he can't upgrade in iron man when there are flashing icons right in front of him now Owen can't get past the second incredibly easy level O.o;;

Game is okay I guess but it's far too often about moving bit by bit and then waiting. Which gets boring quick.

The hardest part of this game by far is putting up with the horrible music. Why, why why do people write flash games without a mute option?

My fingers got too shaky after 10 levels :/
