How it feels

A minimalist, slowly escalating tug-of-war where each failed pull adds weight to an already tedious task.

What players say

Players enjoy the absurd premise of pulling a very long sword, but the experience is painful both physically and psychologically. Some report mouse issues in online mode, and it is compared to 'Getting Over It' for its frustrating difficulty, though the ending has a joke.
