Attacking Zegeta is a commercial platformer available on the PS4.

Above is the very first screen of the game. Jumping breaks the yellow blocks immediately above you, but you can't jump high enough to hit the second layer. Some blocks drop weapons: grenades and bullets, which allow you to break the yellow blocks to the right. Before reaching the green tube a flying robot spawns. You're trapped. It kills you in seconds.

Turns out there is a wall jump. Turns out the infobox which teaches you how to walljump has been above you all this time, in a location you can only access by walljumping.

Attacking Zegeta is a trainwreck of hazard-dense levels, unexplained interactions and relentlessly spawning enemies. Attacking Zegeta has a level of difficulty so high that just getting past the first screen feels like it requires breaking the game by abusing enemy spawns, throwing hundreds of grenades to destroy spike traps, grinding coins for hours in a Flappy Bird clone to make up for the sparse item economy in the game proper. Each level ends with an unexplained Bible quote and the game's site promises to open a secret vault to those players who finish the game.

Watch Damian Sommer and his friends play and beat it.
