Impossible Road

Impossible Road is a 2013 action video game developed and published by the Canadian indie studio Wonderful Lasers.

The developer drew his inspiration mainly from Stunt Car Racer, a racing game of his childhood that featured tracks similar to this game's "roller coaster"-like ones, and was also influenced by Super Hexagon, the Rainbow Road, courses of the Mario Kart series, Wipeout, and Super Monkey Ball.

Ng appreciated the minimalist aspect found in some games and chose that for his because it "strips everything down and lets you get to the important stuff.

Thinking minimally thus became his challenge, and during development, he decided in favor of the blue-and-white graphics with the ball taking up negative space and against adding power-ups.

The "cheating" mechanic was implemented when he tested a working prototype of the game and found that jumping off and on the track was too enjoyable to penalize.

In Impossible Road , the player controls a ball through an endless road.
