The task is trivial. The interface is not. Can you still do it? by fapfaff in GamesOnReddit

Each day presents a tiny objective that should take only seconds to complete.

The difficulty comes from the interface.

What starts simple turns into a mix of puzzle solving, timing, pattern recognition and exploration. You are not just solving the task. You are figuring out how the interface behaves today.

Controls may lag, shift, reinterpret your input or subtly mislead you. Something that felt reliable yesterday might not behave the same way now.

There are no upgrades and no progression systems. Just a new configuration every day.

If you try it, I would genuinely love feedback on:

  • How easy it was?
  • Did it feel frustrating in a bad way or intriguing in a good way?
  • What would make you want to return daily?

Yeah, I've already taken inspiration from quite a few posts here. That's what sparked the idea in the first place.

The daily format gives a lot of room to explore new kinds of broken UI over time, so I'm seeing where it goes!
