But honestly, it makes us wonder how many other programs have hidden features like these. Wouldn't it be great if more developers would publish their little secrets on company blogs?

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
