Impossible Road is a minimalist video game[1] created by Canadian indie developer Kevin Ng. It was released on iOS on April 9, 2013,[2] and later for Android.
Gameplay[edit]
A game of Impossible Road in progress.
The player is tasked with keeping a white ball (called 'The Vessel')[3] on the road for as long as possible without falling off.[4] The road has procedurally generated twists, turns[5] and dives[4] and is endless.[5] The player controls the ball by tapping (with two fingers)[6] left or right on the screen. Each time the player passes a numbered checkpoint line, the player gains a point (several if they missed some checkpoints in between).[3] The player can 'cheat' and fall off the road and land on a road section further on the road.[7][8] When the player dies (after several seconds of free fall), the player is presented with the option to play again.[3] The player can see how many checkpoint lines they crossed and how many they skipped.[4]
