4、y Bird, to include endless running or complex puzzles. They also feature exasperating challenges and infinite-playing modes. 这种被戏称为受虐狂最爱的游戏，现在火了。 它们大大地超越了形式简单的飞扬的小鸟 ，加入了无尽头的奔跑和复杂的智力问题。它们的最大特点就是让人抓狂的挑战和无穷尽的游戏模式。The popularity of impossible games is propelled by gamers hunger for ever-greater challeng
5、es. Players measure their success not by completing missions, but by delaying failure. 这些虐心游戏风靡的原因来自于玩家们对更大挑战的渴望。他们并不以通关为胜利，而是以延迟失败来衡量成功。“What makes those tough games appealing is that glimmer of joy a player gets from even the smallest achievements,” Jamin Brophy -Warren wrote for the Japan-based n

7、 gamers to beware of certain ambushes and keep the right pace to progress further in the game. 以跳跳先生为例，每次失败都能提醒玩家注意某些地方有埋伏，让他们知道安全的路径，一次比一次走得更远。At first, Flappy Bird seems easy, as it only requires players to pilot a bird past narrow pipe gaps. But the game suddenly challenges you with seemingly imp
8、assable obstacles. Most gamers end up frustrated, cursing their slow fingers as the bird flies out of control or the pipe moves faster than they expect. 飞扬的小鸟乍一看觉得很简单，因为玩家只需要控制一只小鸟躲避水管障碍。不过它会突然用看似无法逾越的障碍给你一个下马威。大部分玩家最后都是铩羽而归，在小鸟不受控制或者水管移动太快的时候咒骂自己反应迟钝的手指。“It s about the feeling of obstacle,” Jesper

11、frustrating puzzles.以挑战 IQ无与伦比的竞技为例，当玩家完成了应用里的超级难题，他们就可以向朋友炫耀自己的高分了。However, after sharing their scores, players might find themselves in another infinite game, this time in the real world. They may feel the pressure to endlessly keep improving their scores, to prevent their friends from outperformi
