[Bennett Foddy](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/profile-bennett-foddy?ref=killscreen.com) is at it again. The former member of Cut Copy, doctor of philosophy at Oxford, and dude who just knows how to use his time better than you recently released a new experiment in finger twisting, *[PoleRiders](http://www.foddy.net/PoleRiders.html?ref=killscreen.com)*. Face off with a friend and try to overcoming the (purposely) difficult controls to knock a ball into your opponent’s castle. Most games start with fits of laughter before descending into muttering quiet curses at your friend/the game/the world. Foddy’s other games *[QWOP](http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html?ref=killscreen.com)* (about moving a runner’s legs) and *[GIRP](http://www.foddy.net/GIRP.html?ref=killscreen.com)* (about climbing a very twisted cliffside) are also worth checking out.
