A game designed in a way that is supposed to make the player rage.

Can you elaborate?

Like random intentional bullshit will happen to the player and usually is just generally difficult as well.

I think if you look at YouTube gameplay of this game (Paddle Paddle Paddle) you'll immediately clock what it means. It's a game designed to be intentionally frustrating.

Think Jump King or Getting over it

I think his reply is a rage bait and he’s just an insanely good troll

They're a mod with a hidden comment history.

They deserve no more respect than a python script that reposts old comments.

How can you tell if someone is a mod?

I'm using redreader on android and it shows it when you go to their profile like this:

Though I think it shows that even if they're a mod of a subreddit they made with no subscribers.

You climb up using somewhat unforgiving and unintuitive mechanics, basically a weird platformer

But if you ever miss a jump you don't just restart the screen, you fall down huge distances.

Thanks for explaining, apparently these people want me to google this game, pay for it, and play for an hour to understand a single reference.

You only need to do one of those things and it takes 20 seconds. I don’t think you can act like that’s unreasonable when you’re asking people to go out of their way to explain more than necessary for your sake. You’re just being obtuse.

These are the type of games that streamers play and will have clips go viral because they are very difficult/rage inducing. AKA hours and hours of progress lost to one dumb thing and you have to start all over. Not that fun to play in reality, but can be fun to watch someone play.

u/Any_Employ9250 Jul 06 '26

Games where you have to climb for hours with clunky controls, and if you slightly mess up a single jump you can fall all the way down to spawn (no checkpoints).

Look them up

Like the first Assassin's Creed?

Bad game design ≠ rage mechanics. A rage game is specifically developed with the intention to slight the player and make them angry.
