In a way, Futility is a soothing time-waster. It's soothing in the same way that Fight Club is soothing; there is absolutely no way that you're going to win.
It's a short and cute game with a distinctly philosophical message (which I disagree with, but it still makes the point). It starts off as a normal platformer; you run and jump around, trying to skip from one platform to the next. You die along the way, but you have multiple lives, so you just reincarnate and keep on moving briskly through the level.
On and on you go, ... until you finally reach The Boss. It doesn't actually have a name in the game, but if it had one, that would be it. The Boss is a huge ball that basically bounces all over you, killing you repeatedly, until you run out of lives.
Then, it's game over. I could find no way to defeat the boss or even escape it; once you reach the end, that's it. Am I missing something here, or is this the message?
