Use left/right arrow keys and the spacebar to jump.

It'll take 30 seconds to blow your mind and 90 seconds to be over it. It's worth it for those 90 seconds.

That game reminds me of something called "infinite regression," which I first heard about in, I think, something Rod Serling did, possibly Night Gallery.

An artist paints a picture of a landscape, He feels there's something missing, so he paints himself painting it. (Shades of M.C. Escher drawing himself drawing a mirrored sphere.) But the artist feels there's something still missing. So he paints himself painting the picture. Still something missing, so he paints himself painting himself painting the picture, and so on, and so on, and so on. When the original first painting of himself merges into the landscape you have infinite regression.

Wikipedia has an article on Video Feedback, and the picture on the article reminds me of the scene on the TV show of the guy endlessly painting himself painting himself, etc., etc., etc., then painting a landscape.
