Unpossible iconAnother kind of game that has flourished on the App Store is the super hard high score chaser. A lot of credit there goes to Super Hexagon, in my opinion, which is one of my favorite iPhone games (I wrote about it way back in 2013). But today I'm here to talk about Unpossible, a game that definitely reminds me of Super Hexagon. In this one, though, you're traveling along a curving cylinder way up in the air trying to avoid obstacles. Have you played F-Zero GX? It's like the cylinder level in that game but with lots of stuff in the way and played from a first-person perspective. Since it's a high score game, you just go for as long as you can without messing up. That length of time is your score.

There are three difficulty modes: Simplicity, Futile, and Ultra. (Well, and a mode called "Cruise" that doesn't have any obstacles. It's kind of boring.) Simplicity was easy enough to beat (i.e., last for 60 or more seconds) but I'm stuck on Futile right now. Haven't made past 27 seconds yet!

Unpossible is a fun game. It's a great way to spend a minute...well, if you're good Wink

Here's a guy playing Simplicity. It's pretty easy. Jump to 2:10 to get a taste of Futile.

To quote Ralph from the Simpsons:  "Me fail English?  That's unpossible!"

When looking for pictures for this, I saw a bunch of memes about that lol

Anything reminding me of Big Blue from F-Zero X and GX is ok in my book of names for cats.

Well I hope you one day have enough cats to use al those names!

Would it be a stretch to say that music sounded like something from Metroid Prime?

You're not far off. I'll tell you what it is, it's those choir samples they're using. THOSE sound just like Metroid Prime. It's a little too drum-heavy otherwise, I'd say. But it didn't occur to me till you mentioned it. That choir is total MP.
