I found nothing unique or special about that had me wanting to keep going. After more than enough failures, I gave up.

[H1] Minimal platformer. Might be interesting for some people. [/h1]
An overly-challenging platforming game that leaves you guessing at what your course of action should be, and if you guess wrong, you have to start the entire level over again every time. "Guess wrong and die" combined with "Die and start over" is a surefire way to sap the fun from any game.
Very fun, simple, and challenging puzzle platformer that solidly utilizes a couple of interesting mechanics - antigravity (in the same vein as VVVVVV), and "recursion" i.e. screen-looping (exiting the screen either vertically or horizontally takes you back to the other end of it). It's a shame that gems like this often get lost in the recent explosion of Steam games. I've played this game for longer than many other big-name and well-regarded games in my library. Still, if you made it to this page and are reading this review in spite of that, just buy the game! It's as fun as it looks.
É interessante ver jogos espirituais que nos trazem para pc a virtuosidade e excelencia do grande Mario. Óbvio que não é essa intenção desse game, mais na minha experiencia eu achei nostálgico e super responsivo de acordo a época do mario e semelhanças são tantas que a nostalgia fica em alta. dificil não elogiar este pequeno e carismático game, ele traz coisas boas a tona. mostra como pode ser simples encantar um jogador e como pode ser perversa e cruel os caminhos para avançar no game. se você é das antigas, vale a pena dar uma chance a ele.
There are some good levels alongside an interesting concept, but this game is also prone to random freezes. In addition, some of the later levels are too long to justify the lack of checkpoints and then there's the final level which is literally hot garbage. There are better games out there.
上下左右がループしている1画面を攻略していく高難度なアクションゲーム 操作は左右移動とジャンプのみ、敵やトゲや水に当たると即やり直しのオワタ式、ギミックは重力反転や消えたり現れたりする足場など 目新しいギミックは無いが1ステージ毎に工夫が凝らされておりやりごたえがある 普通にクリアするだけでも難しくクリアした時に達成感がある 実績を集めようとするとすごい難易度になる 15ステージ×4ワールドの計60ステージありボリュームはそこそこ ステージエディットに関する実績があるがどうもエディット機能が死んでるようなので取れない
Lovely game that really brought back to me the fun of playing a great 2d platofrmer in the 90s. I have often found it hard to really get into a game in recent years but with Recursion Deluxe time just slipped by as I needed 'One more go!' to beat a level! The levels are all interesting, unique and short enough that it never feels like a chore to re-play it over and over until you get it right. It was a good length game for the price but now I am thirsty for more levels!! Would definetely pay for an expansion pack. Overall: Highly reccomended puzzle platformer that feels good to play and has a fun wrap around screen mechanic!
你不能说这不是一款好游戏。 它的确是一款好游戏,像素风,8bit的音乐(或许)风格,非常非常复古的游戏界面,画风还有音乐。 只推荐给喜欢复古游戏的玩家。 只推荐给复古游戏画风的玩家。 只推荐给复古游戏画风的玩家。 音乐有点刺耳。[spoiler] 如果我没关背景音乐我已经聋了。
