THE IDEA
About Impossible Slider
You are asked to set a slider to a specific value. This is the entire game, and it is much harder than it sounds, because the slider does not want to be set. It overshoots. It undershoots. It develops opinions. Later levels invert your controls, flee from your cursor, cap happiness at ninety nine percent, and quietly lower your confidence while you watch. The tenth level does let you through, eventually, on the condition that you stop trying so hard.
How to Play
Drag the slider to the target value shown above it, then lock it in. Each of the ten levels changes the rules without telling you what changed, so watch what the slider does rather than what the instruction says. Your time, your rage clicks and the total distance your mouse travels are all being recorded. Precision is not really the point. Persistence is roughly the point.
GOOD TO KNOW
FAQ
- Is level ten actually possible?
- Yes. Every level can be completed, including the ones that appear to be broken. They are not broken. They are rude.
- Why does the slider move away from my cursor?
- That is a later level behaving as designed. Approach it from the other direction.
- What is "patience remaining"?
- A joke statistic computed from your rage clicks and your total time. Lower is funnier.
