Don't try to learn everything at once.

$ vimtutor is great. Do it a few times until you don't need to read it. It's not really game-y but it's quite challenging when you come from TextMate world.

Also there is a site called http://openvim.com that works more or less like what you describe. I hate it, though. I can't bear the tone and the forced jokes and it's nowhere near as well thought out as $vimtutor.

Others have pointed at vimgolf.

One of the cool things about Vim is that you always learn new tricks.



Another great way to learn new vim tricks is to simply hang out on #vim on freenode.

I've learned a lot that way, and still do every day.
