Fun and challenging. It isnt the best and could use improvement.
The Impossible Road is a really good game and provides minimal action, requiring good reflexes like Super Hexagon, Boson X, etc.
The game provides three different turning gauntlets, a downhill gauntlet, a "skinny" gauntlet, and a slant gauntlet. You dont get to see the skinny gauntlet and one of the three types of turns until you hit 10 points and you dont see slants until 40 points. I like the different patterns, but there should be more patterns to this game as the player progresses in getting more points, making the player get new challenges that they have to constantly learn how to master.
Despite the many things I like about this game, there are a couple of things that I do not like: glitches, lack of a pause menu, and other useful features that this game lacks.
There are minor glitches to the game, and I am mostly talking about the physics. Sometimes when I pass the points and keep my ball steady on the path, sometimes my ball flies up to the air and it is very hard to get back on the track because the ball is bouncy. This makes me lose the game in disappointment because I cant back on because of the crazy skinnies, slants, and steep turns that really dont like a bouncy ball.
Another glitch I would like to talk about is a glitch I would call the "noclip" glitch. Basically my ball is falling and I aim my ball towards the path itll land on. Sometimes, I cannot center the ball on the path (because of its slow turning) and land on the side of the path. On the rare occasion I land, my ball goes straight through the path as if it were nothing but air. I get real frustrated at this and it is game over.
The last glitch I would like to talk about is a glitch that involves camera angles. Sometimes when I pass a gauntlet, I am barely able to keep my ball onto the path. On certain gauntlets, if you get onto the very edge of the path, the camera angle quickly moves up and down because the game thinks you are about to fall. This glitch throws me off and I lose my grip on the path because I get so distracted by it.
I get so annoyed by these glitches I rage at them and cant get really good high scores because of them.
Another thing about this game is that it lacks a good in-game pause menu. The only official way to pause the game is to press the home button, which is very inefficient. And when you resume the game, the game resumes right away. I think a pause button should be added and when you resume, you should get a 3 second countdown before the game actually continues. Shortly after I resume, I forget what I was doing and I game over immediately, which is annoying.
Some other features that this game lacks are the ability to see below you when you fall, a tutorial level for newbies to adapt to the game. These one I am not too concern about but it would be nice if they were added.
Impossible Road is a good game and I recommend it as a challenge game. If you dont like challenge, then dont try the Impossible Road, as you may rage and cry blood and thick tears. I hope the Impossible Road makes major improvement to this game soon and it will be a challenging game that all people will enjoy.
