Despite being aimed at an audience of small children, Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby! has been noted for its relentlessly intense difficulty, with opponents having lightning-fast and unpredictable ball movement patterns (most infamously Tigger, who can throw invisible balls, and Christopher Robin, who has access to all other characters' ball movement patterns), combined with a high bar of successful swings required for progression through the game. Its reputation through word of mouth on the Internet became so notorious that Complex.com ranked it on its list of the hardest Flash games ever made higher than the likes of I Wanna Be the Guy and Meat Boy.
