I got to level ten and I have to quit. The problem is, if I want to play later, I don’t know if I’ll ever make it back. ---

I’ve got to level 10, and its frustrating only because its so Long. I know the pattern, I know what I have to do, but the fact that its so repetitive and I don’t get any breaks is what’s difficult. So I died a 100x in it, and I think I’m going to call it quits. But it was fun up to then. ---

Add me as another person that couldn’t get past level 10. Bloody level 10. :mad: ---

Same problem - the frustration level exceeds the enjoyability around level 10. ---

bbs2k wins… if only because he’ll never know the futility that is level ten. I don’t believe there is, or needs to be, a level 11 ---

I had to quit at Level 4 because it was so damn annoying. Not the game, the music. ---

You guys are a bunch of pansies! What’s all this talk about “fun”? This is work people. Frustration and annoyance is what we must overcome! Huzah!\* \*Yeh, I gave up after level 8. ---

107 deaths and I reached level ELEVEN!!! Level 11 seems impossible until you discover that moving diaginally is faster than moving straight. ---

I screamed in frustration and quit at level four. Level eleven? Pshaw. Unfathomable. ---

I beat this, it’s difficult but if you spend times scoping out the patterns it becomes easy. Don’t just run and go, also… learn to play flute or clarinet or something so your fingers aren’t in prepetual disagreance with what your mind tells them to do. I still contend [IWBTG! A Very Hard Game About a Boy and 8-bit Masochism!](http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/) is the hardest game ever. All it needs is a hoverbike and surfing stage to be impossible. Heres video one of a series, just watch this. The game is sadistic. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ifS4BhrNmI)
