Which I suppose makes it less fake difficulty and more the game itself. You're mission should you choose to accept it is not to save band-aid girl, but to overcome the insidious power of inertia.

The made-of-meat ice skating controls didn't help. I got to the Hell chapter before figuring out that the Annoying Gameplay Mechanic probably wasn't going to get more fun. Aether was great, and I even played through C*nt to the end. I usually don't complain about free games. This one just irked the hell out of me. Pretty touchy hit detection on the death traps.

N's controls were significantly more intuitive. I’d like to get farther into this game but i can’t warap my head around the controls. N’s controls were significantly more intuitive.

The movement kinda reminds me of <a href="http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html" rel="nofollow">N</a> in that it's another game that makes me treat my keyboard as if it were an analogue device (i.e. pressing the arrow keys harder in a vain attempt to move more quickly).
