Overtly, Impossible Road’s premise is about as simple as they come: guide a rolling ball down a winding pathway for as long as you can. It’s a distance platformer – Super Monkey Ball by way of Super Hexagon – and it manages to be as infuriatingly challenging, yet effortlessly addictive as either of those comparisons.
Impossible Road is a hidden gem on the Android marketplace, one that you should probably check out.
Your only aim in the game is to beat your previous score, and then some more, and if you don’t throw away your phone in frustration at the impossibility of it all, you could aim to beat the crazy leaderboards.
Standout mobile games are typically the ones that are minimalistic and extremely difficult. Look at the ‘Super Hexagon’, ‘Hundreds’, and ‘Flappy Bird’.
‘Impossible Road’ falls (literally) into this category. After experiencing plenty of success in the App Store, developer Kevin Ng has announced a version for Android users for April 8th. Expect the game to be priced similarly to the iOS version at $1.99 USD.
