Shortest Game Loop?

[hardcoretyphoon hardcoretyphoon]

What game can you think of where you can experience a proper "slice" of it in a short amount of time?

For example the average meatboy level tends to be less than 30 seconds. You can experience all of the games major mechanics (jumping, avoiding hazards, beating a level, the timer) within a small bit of time.

Atari games, like Yars Revenge for example. It's two quick boss fights repeated forever.

It would be a rare fighting game that you couldn't say that about it. Most racing games, too, for that matter.

in theory conway's game of life is the shortest loop.

Samurai Kirby. It's literally over in a flash

Most Soulcalibur games have an easy to grasp control scheme, short combos, and a round is often like 10-20 seconds.

It's wild to think those are the same people who later would make Rogue Legacy.
