You either don’t know this game or wish you didn’t know this game. It’s not so dissimilar to addiction in that way, which is no coincidence. Bennett Foddy, the designer of the game, is one of the few people who can claim to have both studied the philosophy behind gaming and addiction as well as developed them with those principles in mind:
“You’re shooting for benign, minor addiction that the person will break free of eventually… I want them to play intently for a while and then get over it.”
