I don't have an answer other than just saying Inverted Trope. But there is another example in the third The Legend of Kyrandia game, where Malcolm can be sent to row a boat 1,000 times as prison labor. During the task, Malcolm starts singing in an irritating way and the taskmaster, just wanting to be rid of Malcolm, skips straight from about 950 to 10 rows left.

Tropes Are Flexible. It's an unusual application of Moving The Goalposts, but a perfectly acceptable one.

I guess so. Should I mention something about how it's unusual in the entry (i.e "In (video game name), there's an unusual example in that they make your task easier instead of harder".), and then describe it?
