How does it Work?

In a game, you die.

And imply that it has no effect on you.

You feel invincible in the realm behind the screen.

This one is different.

In this game, you have to die.

What is your motivation?

Think before you act.

Who knows what it means to die behind the screen?

Is it only a number that goes up?

Pixels that change their intensity?

Solve disturbing, surprising, and malicious puzzles.

Is it possible to go through the game

without dying even once?

Will you aim for it?

    Short but entertaining.

    This game, although it has very simple mechanics, still manages to challenge the player especially if you wish to find the secret "orange" and prologue level and beat them. After the prologue level the creator begins a commentary on the creation of the game as you replay it from the beginning and he reveals some other secrets that you may not have already found. Finding all the hidden elements in the game definitely add to the value of your experience and I would encourage that do attempt to find them.

    Best Mobile Game I’ve Seen.

    I’m not exaggerating. As far as entertainment goes, this is the best game I’ve played. It’s a wonderful blend of puzzle and platformer, with a side of innovation in game design, and a sprinkling of meta. The simplistic presentation is really appealing as well. Despite a short playtime, the orange levels were extremely challenging for me, and the “prequel” was a nice, deep intellectual challenge. As an aspiring game developer, the “texts” you get from the developer were a great insight on the process, and I was absolutely astonished to find out the entire process was 6 weeks.

    Very thoughtful and deep

    This game appears at first to be simple and straightforward, but don't stop--keep going. There are so many hidden elements and surprises that will shock you completely. It is not a short game and the levels will be hard to perfect when you get that far. In addition, it points out the common problems of games today and defines what it means to be a good game. It probably is the most meaningful game I've seen.

    Wow

    I honestly lobed every second of this game. The music, the art, the design, the idea, the twists, the tricks, it is all perfect. I would love to see more content like this game. *spoiler ahead* Though, (unless I haven't found it) an in game map of the orange levels would be really cool. The ending was definitely good and I love what was done for the prologue ending. Hope to see more games from you that are as intriguing as this, or even further extending this one.

    For Every Gamer

    This game is stunning. I love how it gets you thinking about games and what we expect games to do. The gameplay isn't difficult, but it is unique. I can wait to show this game to my friends who are gamers, but I would recommend this game to anyone. Seriously, this is the kind of game that makes you question the other games you've given 5 stars. Well done, devs.

    Delightfully dark

    I love games that are just different. This is one of those games. Like Limbo before it the innovative game play and style is a breath of fresh air. The feel is delightful dark and creepy. The soundtrack is hypnotic and blends perfectly with the overall character of the game. If you're looking for a game that you can pick up, jump right in and find yourself intrigued, this is it.



  • By Steve chralie

    Good but not a lot of information

    As much as I enjoy this game and stuff like the orange levels prologue and all that other stuff. No one gives us a lot of information about where we are or why the square is here. But I know he only had 6 weeks to make this game. It’s a really good game though. So thank you to the people who made this game.



  • By Tommyrocs

    Awesome game but did I beat it?

    This is a very cool game very cool idea being able to use your own corpse as a platform. But did I beat it? I got to the section named death where he teaches you you can flip the device over to be able to work on the ceiling. But then it just went back to the beginning. What?



  • By Mr t 75

    Fun simple little game

    Don't look at it for more then it is. Its just a simple little game. Don't stress out over it. Get through the game and find the hidden features. One of them is a very nice commentary from the author about the game. Wish more would so something like that (thanks for doing it!)



  • By Marlon_Brando

    Amazing

    This game is absolutely amazing. I won't spoil it, but the twist at the end literally gave me goose bumps. This game had me thinking so hard the entire time. I do admit. The game is not easy. I actually yelled into a pillow at one point. But the game kept me coming back. Love it. Will recommend to all my friends.

    Oh My God

    Whoever rated this one star definitely has no idea what the concept of this amazing game is. Stollenmayer, you're brilliant! One of the very few apps I spent my money on. This is like the only app I've used that doesn't insist on me rating the app. I appreciate that so much.



  • By Last24k

    I like it!

    After playing the game for a little while I get a pop up and it has: PURCHASE Do you want to pay $ 9,999 to unlock this level? The options are YES and YES. This is just another level, move around the pop up and continue with the game.

    Terrible Ending

    The game has a nice concept, was challenging enough at times, but short-lived and super frustrating at the end. The entire game was kinda easy, but then at the orange level everything was super difficult and near impossible to finish. I’m not even sure some of the levels there were actually possible to finish. So I gave up after 100+ tries and looked up a walkthrough to see what would happen at the end. Guess what? It’s an empty orange room with absolutely nothing in sight. So don’t waste your time trying to beat the orange level, you’ll hardly be rewarded. The insane difficulty on the last level just seemed to be an excuse to lengthen the already super short game.

    It's OK

    I don't know how this game is getting such great reviews. I wouldn't recommend paying for it. If it was free then yea sure but for $2 eh. It's way too short. They say 80+ like its this huge game... They're incredibly short "levels". Then you get to this end place where it gets so difficult that it's just more or less annoying. Everything b4 this point it's fairly easy. I just beat the entire game, not counting that last part that I'm stopping for now, in one sitting. It'd be different if these "levels" were large and well thought out but they're really not...
