Ever feel like youre running around in circles? Maddening Euphoria is a unique challenging arcade game with randomly generated level design in which you control brother and sister duet Mason and Millicent Zane as they flee from their own imagined realisation of their troubles in life - an inescapable wall of death - while avoiding bottomless pits deadly spikes and speed-reducing pools of thick goo. Keep within spitting distance of the wall to receive a short colourful Second Wind speed boost and gain the opportunity to be one eighth euphoric. Not enough for you? Don your favourite fedora go for eight pieces and enter the multicoloured rainbow world of Euphoria where time goes even faster spikes disappear and your survival speeds up dramatically. Or tackle some of the games 150+ challenges ranging anywhere from trivially easy to borderline unfathomable. Meanwhile choose from 36 game themes (or throw it on Shuffle) each with themed poetry telling tales of your demise with anywhere from innocent whimsy to incomparable filth and ranging from surprisingly clever to embarrassingly hideous. If youre English Scottish Welsh Irish German Spanish Japanese American or from Bristol or Norwich like we are I apologise profusely. Also have the game mock your failures in one of 51 ways of varying levels of Britishness. And all of this while other peoples highscores pop up and you wonder what some people do with their time. This is the flashiest fleshiest Maddening to date. It even has some diamondy bits. And you can turn those off if youre only in it for the circles. Just dont buy it if you suffer from epilepsy. (Please.)
