The World’s Most Challenging Game Is Coming To PlayStation Store



The Impossible Game is a pure indie game that Destructoid called it “Insanely addictive”, it quickly found its audience and successfully moved from one platform to another. The Impossible Game is now on the PlayStation Store as a minis, so it can be enjoyed by PSP & PS3 players.

Its addictiveness and the fact that it threatens the sanity of anyone who comes near it are what have kept the game alive . The Impossible Game is a rhythm-based game. You control an orange square and you have to jump your way through a level full of obstacles like spikes and gaps. The game’s soundtrack helps you keep the rhythm. Your skill and the music are all you need, no complicated controls for this game all you need is one button,

Why is it “impossible”? It is unforgiving. A single mistake puts you back to the beginning of the level. It may take hundreds of attempts, several rage attacks and maybe even your PS3 or PSP flying out of the window before you complete a level. But none of that will matter, because once you start, you won’t be able to put it down. This game will irritate you and offend you and you won’t stop until you have meted out its pay back.

If you are looking for a less impossible experience though, you can switch to a Practice Mode at any time. This mode lets you place flags (checkpoints) and if you fail, you get right back to the last placed flag. This helps you practice the track and also regain your sanity2

The Minis version of The Impossible Game contains all the levels from lots of other versions and level packs, plus an exclusive level Phazd that you won’t find anywhere else this makes it the best of them all. There are many awards to unlock and the game also keeps record of you progress (so you know just how many times you died)


The Impossible Game will be released on September 7 and will cost you only 1.99 Euro. If you are a Plus subscriber you will receive an additional 25% discount.

Sony's PlayStation Vita: a closer look

We told you what Sony's PlayStation Vita felt like, but here it is in the glossy plastic flesh -- all five-inches of vibrant OLED display, two cameras, dual analog sticks, twelve buttons, two capacitive digitizers and a D-pad. Check out the gallery below for some close-up shots, and hop on past the break for some video footage of the quad-core handheld in action.

Update: Sony just answered a few burning questions for us -- mainly about those mysterious ports we spotted on the bottom and top. Apparently those top port covers will hold one slot for the official PSVita game cards, and another slot for regular removable media for downloadable content and saves, and the port that's occupying one of those places will be removed. Meanwhile, the large socket at the bottom is a "multiport" that provides power, connectivity and might do video-out. We couldn't get any firm details about the AT&T 3G partnership, by the way, but we're told that there will be a special cellular plan of some sort. As you'd expect, Sony's also not talking battery life, but a developer told us that -- with the exception of graphically intensive titles like Uncharted -- the company's shooting for parity with the original PlayStation Portable.
