Trial and Error Based Gameplay

[TomGuycott]

It is a little unfair to include I Wanna Be the Guy in a serious talk about Trial and Error game design in a traditional sense, as it could be easily retitled "Trial and Error: the Game".

The game has an obvious intention to bend and warp your expectations and reaction time from screen one. It doesn't try to hide what it is, and you either find it funny, challenging, or it's not for you.
