==Gameplay==
The Game of Disorientation is a top-down game where players make it from one end of a level to the other without touching spikes, clones and other hazards. As they progress, the camera increasingly spins around and stretches the level to trip them up.
Levels don't have a time limit, though the game tracks how long it takes them to beat it for high scores.

==Mobile Differences==
A mobile version was uploaded to Kongregate in 2010, with differences between it and the desktop game including:
*No jiggmin.com ad.
*The moving swirl on the title screen is absent and the letters no longer fly at the screen when they rotate.
*Sound button moved to the bottom-left corner to prevent it from overlapping text.
*Instructions are in Vrinda instead of Village Idiot BB.
*Addition of arrow keys in the bottom-right corner.
*Lower frame rate. Quality's also set on medium rather than high, with it switching to low whenever the screen zooms in or out.
*The goal point is made of more simple non-moving shapes.
*Shiny clones lack detail and are only flashing colors now.
==Trivia==
*This is Jiggmin's most played game on Newgrounds with over 616,000 views."Game of Disorientation" - Newgrounds
*The Armor Games version was released 2 and a half years after the others and includes added advertisements for the site, something that carried over to all future releases of Jiggmin's games there.
*A bug popped up during 2014 in the non-Armor Games and BubbleBox builds that prevents players from advancing past level 1, with death causing conditions similar to the final level. Jiggmin speculated the file became corrupt or new versions of Flash broke something, though he never fixed it."Terrible bug in G.O.D.". Jiggmin's Village. May 3, 2014.
*Various images fly past the screen during the final level, which are listed below.
