  • Great game

    Well worth playing through, even if you think it's too hard!
  • Flawless

    Sometimes you die takes an ingenious mechanic and matches it with an inventive, meta narrative. Controls are tight and the whole things revels in subverting your expectations. The end result is like a cross between VVVVVV, Kyle Pulver's depict1 and a René Magritte painting. Highly recommended!
  • Not sure what all the fuss is about..

    Very basic platformer that pretends to be cleverer than it really is, but unfortunately, is just quite boring to play. I laboured on after reading some glowing reviews, but the 'magic' never materialised for me, just a couple of gameplay gimmicks and colour changes that did nothing to alleviate the tedium. Mayhap's I'm missing something, but in the absence of Descartes own recommendation, I'd think I'd rather spend my time actually enjoying my games.

  • Awesome

    Great little game, don't get scared over the £9,999 IAP, it's not real! Lol the game is trying to mess with you towards the end. awesome sinister vibe, easy gameplay, an example or how a simple idea can be Very cool!
  • Genius

    This is a brilliant game. If games could hang in the Tate Modern, this would get my vote. One part witty commentary on games in general (with some specific digs), one part great game and then, one part genius as you think you've completed the game only to find a whole new set of levels (coloured orange) that, so far, are unbeatable.

  • Excellent!

    This is such an excellent little game! A little creepy but in a good way. It provokes the player to think before acting, especially after you've played it through once. The hidden levels were also very good, and well hidden XD
    The simple art style helps to keep the focus on the point (if there is one 0.0) and the music is going to be stuck on my brain for a while.
    I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, not that it was scary it was just creepy >.< I don't normally give 5 stars to things because there's always room for improvement but in this case I can't see any room for improvement, the games creator/s should be very proud ^.^

  • Fun, Portal-esque tone

    I had a blast playing this - the atmosphere and tone are perfect, and the game physics are dead on.

    Also ignore the person who said there's a scam in the game. They've no sense of humour it seems - it's a 'joke' IAP box. Panic over.
  • Creative, brilliant, fun (and definitely not a scam!)

    This game might seem simple, but it's got lots of layers. The more you play, the more complex it is.

    The soundtrack is great too. Really helps set the mood and tone of the game (dark, menacing, a bit sinister).

    I'm still laughing at the earlier reviewer who thought if was a scam (don't worry - it isn't!) when the game taunts you with the reality of what other developers do with their games.

    Just play it. It's seriously good.

  • Amazing

    Buy it. It is a great game. One of the best ones I have ever gotten. You will not regret it
  • Fantastic Game

    This is not your average game…

    The controls are great, you get a good sense of realistic physics as you guide the little cube around the levels. It’s also an interesting concept to die and leave blocks in the level as you advance.

    But this game turned out nothing like what I expected! Without giving too much away, I’ll just say that there are a couple of big twists, and I haven’t finished it yet… who knows what other surprises I’ll face.

    Definitely recommended for anyone who’s even a bit curious. It’s worth it just to see what will happen as the game progresses.
