The game is designed to be frustrating; a single mistake can send you plummeting all the way back to where you started the game. Given the awkwardness of the controls and the difficulty of scaling many sections, this is likely to happen [[NintendoHard many, many times]] over the course of the game.

** There are no enemies, invisible blocks that ruin your path, no {{Kaizo Trap}}s or {{Fake Platform}}s. The biggest enemy in this game is the controls and your own patience in learning how to use them properly. Once you've climbed the mountain, the game can be finished in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb8yNvIrn8Q under a minute.]] That said, it's still known as a rage game for a reason.

* DeconstructionGame: On [[SomeDexterityRequired awkward controls]] and CheckpointStarvation. The game also explores takes apart and examines the concept nature of game making modern video games, as well as media in general, that is meant for easy consumption and thus disposal, forgotten once consumed. It is measured against "b-games", Foddy's definition for off-beat indie games made by one dude that made up for their lack of technical competence with uniqueness, and older games that lacked save features and thus required a lot of patience and frustration to beat, and what makes a "B-game", as well as making these b-games, by comparison, stick out more in an age of Triple-A releases and complex development. Foddy's personal conclusion is that games, especially the [[ThisIsGoingToBeHuge prediction that games meant made of pre-made assets]] would be huge, that are easily forgotten are due to reward them being made to be easily acquired and thrown away when much of modern life is already vying for an audience's attention, and this is thus reflected in the game: everything in the game is constructed of pre-made assets, but arranged in such a way that is frustrating and time-consuming for the player, but as a consequence, sticks out among all the other games that come before or entertain a player.after.

The Take That message may have some weight in regards to non-commentary playthroughs, tho.

* TakeThatAudience: Foddy has some choice words for people who experience this game by watching a [=YouTuber=] or Twitch gamer, likening them to baby birds "eating regurgitated food" because they won't experience it for themselves. Since most of the LetsPlay viewers don't come to experience the game but the person playing it (for example, watching WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} lose his shit) it's the wrong message in the first place and fell on deaf ears.
