The game:
Dream Match Tennis
Here is a game which is impossible to criticize. It has an unassailable defense which provides an impenetrable barrier to negative commentary. Here, watch as I attempt to criticize the game:

And of all the other indie games I've mentioned recently on this site so far, with the exception of Trash, I've played Dream Match Tennis more than all the others combined.
