Yury

You just crashed on a planet. You've got no idea where you are so let's just go and find some shelter. Though maybe it wasn't such a good idea to leave the ship after all.

The game is unforgivingly difficult. It's a straight up platformer, no other gimmicks involved. However, this game is hard. The achievements hint at a gun, though they don't say who has the gun. I don't even want to know anymore.

So while this game has no gimmicks either, it's sheer difficulty makes you really put in an effort. It's all about figuring out what to do and then having a near perfect timing to do it. You move from one checkpoint to the next. Sometimes you can cheat death a little. Most of the times you don't. Let's just say there's a permanent death counter on screen for a reason.

Verdict: Well wow. At first you're really just rage quiting. But after a while and a bunch of deaths you figure out the intended path and take it, using a few more deaths to actually get the timing perfect. These platformers are still not necessarily my thing but I can appreciate them more than the other platformers we've covered so far. This one takes a bit of skill, practice, and perseverance. Oh and it looks pretty with the pixel art :)

Familiarity: Never tried to escape this planet before. Fear I'll be stuck on it forever, even if I tried.
