Recursion Deluxe

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.

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.

A charming puzzle platformer with an emphasis on puzzles, timing and precision. There's nothing particularly new at work here, though most of the levels are well crafted and unique feeling. The main gimmicks are the non-euclidean geometry and gravity reversal, with plenty of switches, keys and obstacles to make for interesting puzzle solving and platform jumping. It definitely feels like a game I've played before, and yet it kept my attention from beginning to end. The game is quite short, but for the price seems about right. The difficulty curve is slow and steady, with most of the game feeling a bit on the easy side, though I do consider myself well-traveled in this genre. Most of the challenge comes from collecting the game's completely optional stars, and dying has no penalty. Recommended to puzzle fans, platforming fans, and retro game fans alike.

Reclusion Deluxe is definitely worth picking up, its simple and easy to get in with but super addicting and will leave you blasting through its levels and killing more time than you expected, a really cool retro style platformer with amazing graphics and the kind of sound track that fills you with nostaliga, for a first look of the game check out the link below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-P3go2NIhw

Although it has pixel graphics the game seems to lag very often. Then the controls therefore don't take my jump input or direction input. This alone makes it for me not recommended. It's a nice cute little puzzle platformer to kill some time. With neat and responsive controls I would have given it a thumbs up.

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!

A very nice precision platformer game. A nice difficulty cure, although the last level is very, very tough. But at no point did I feel like the difficult was unfair. The jumps can be tough, but always are fair.

This game is simply a treat to play. Game mechanics that WORK. Plenty of puzzles and difficulty that is just enough to be fun, and not annoying. 5/5 will definitely be replaying this one.

Amazing game. If you like difficult puzzle platformers you should like it! It starts pretty easy but by the third chapter it gets really hard. The level design is really good and it's really fun to try to get all the stars as well as the "finish a chapter without dying" achievements. Some levels are really difficult and you might rage quit once in a while, ahah, but so far (I'm currently at the end of the third chapter) none of the levels feel difficult because of chance, meaning that if you don't make a mistake you won't die, unlike some other games where you can get unlocky and have something appear at the wrong place at the wrong time. In Recursion Deluxe everytime you restart a level every platforms and monsters go back to their original position, which removes the luck factor from the difficulty and makes it great for speed runners.
