I found this game sort of thought-provoking. What does it mean to play a game knowing I'll realistically never have a shot at winning it?

Like others, I also couldn't make it past the "don't break your own rule" part. But still, I enjoyed it!
It sort of reminds me of aspects of Undertale, with the heart as the player's cursor, the music-tone sound effects for the text dialogue, and the meta-thinking where you are supposed to question the mechanics of the game itself (Flowey not telling you that EXP = "execution points").
You're definitely onto something here!
Update: I finally did it and reached the end! :]
Really loved: the premise of seeing in single color at a time, the visual aesthetic, and the music!
I didn't initially understand that the giant block is a checkpoint. I think it would be good to add some kind of positive feedback (audio or visual) that indicates to the player that they have actually succeeded by reaching it. It also tells them to expect a new pattern of obstacles.
Clever and genuinely funny!
It reminded me of the "User Inyerface" game that came out recently (https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/7/3/20681538/user-inyerface-terrible-modern-web-design-app-forms-fields).
Not sure if this represents a new trend of games, but I think it's interesting that folks are designing games that examine our relationship with clunky software.
