Yes, I think so! Since it was uploaded as an experiment, I interacted with it as such. Generally I think a major part of art is how the artist describes/titles it. It's too late for me now, but I wonder how my experience would have differed if I read the description only after interacting with it, as a blinded experiment.
I like that outlook on attitude a lot. I have been thinking about it a bit after reading Friction Buffer. My brain thinks that all labels are subjective, but I'm not sure if I trust it that much.
Keep up the experiments!

I don't know! I really don't know. I spent a good 30 minutes with the software (in browser, sorry for not being a part of the download number). It felt more like I was playing around with something, rather than actually playing something. It felt like interactive art (which includes video games (maybe not all video games: kinetic novels??)), but not a video game. Is Godot Engine a video game? Maybe it is.
Out of the ideas you put forth, I think video games are closest to "your playful attitude when you interact with it." I don't think I had that here: I interacted with this software more via investigation rather than a playful curiosity. Perhaps that's my bad.
Either way, thought provoking work as always. I enjoyed my time with it; happy to engage with more in the future.
