    Quite frustrating and difficult to get into. It doesn't have the 'just one more go' pull these games need. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    So there you have it. Impossible Road is an impossibly hard, impossibly addictive and impossibly impossible game.

    Forbidding difficulty will deter some, but it still offers a tense, focused experience. [Aug 2013, p.78]

    It's hard. In fact, it's so hard it makes Rainbow Road look like Mario Circuit. It makes Master Level 3 on Super Monkey Ball look like a walk in the park. Super Hexagon? A pussycat by comparison.

    It’s this balance and level of hidden randomness that made Super Hexagon so hard to put down what makes Impossible Road feel like that game’s spiritual successor.

    Impossible Road’s fundamentals are so crisply constructed, so itchingly compelling that its lack of iteration doesn’t completely sour the experience.

    Impossible Road is a fun, punishing diversion that will keep challenge fiends coming back for more.

    Impossible Road lives up to its title, but in its challenge and minimalistic style is a game with some great hooks.

    A highscore game that if you're really good, might last more than a few seconds, but its control implementation keep it from greatness.

    Featuring tight controls, a randomly-generated pathway, and a strong “one more go” draw despite its fairly hardcore difficulty, Impossible Road is an intriguing offering that quickly got its hooks into us.

    The game's heavy reliance on luck may well prove to be its downfall.

    Impossible Road ($1.99, Universal) is impossible to recommend with extremely shallow, and frustrating gameplay making it one to steer clear of.

    Impossible Road stands alongside Super Hexagon as one of the top tests of skill, reaction, and sheer pluck on the App Store.

    Simply for the harrowing elegance of this risk-reward proposition, Impossible Road’s lone developer Kevin Ng deserves to have his pockets paved with gold.

    Perfection contains a solid central mechanic and it's nicely presented, but the unadorned slicing wears thin very quickly.

The plot of the game is that Impossible Road will try to trick you with tightrope like roads, blind turns, and bumps. If you fall, try to get back on track, or you will free-fall into oblivion and its game over. This game is a work of art, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a bit of a challenge.… Full Review »
