About Lose Ctrl
Lose Ctrl is the debut title by berlin based studio Play From Your Heart Ug (haftungsbeschränkt) and with such a competent CEO such as Martin J. Apple himself, it’s no wonder the game has already won awards and gained recognition from big industry names.Want to break out of the normalcy of the rest of life and experience true chaos? Not the regular chaos, but the kind that makes your keyboard betray you, your mouse rebel, and makes you want to rewire your brain? That’s what Lose Ctrl has in store for you. A game where the only thing you can count on is that you can’t count on anything. One moment, left is right. The next, up is down. And that’s just the tutorial.Lose Ctrl is basically a life lesson disguised as a video game—an existential, audiovisual rollercoaster that explores infinite possibilities through a meta-level narrative. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, we also threw in a couch co-op mode so groundbreaking, it technically didn’t exist until we made it.
Billy’s life is very ordinary. He drives to work, fills out spreadsheets and goes grocery shopping. Super exciting, right? Slowly, but then suddenly not so slowly, things stop working as they’re supposed to. Once Billy’s life spirals out of control, so does your ability to navigate the game. Are you gonna be able to help Billy get through the day when every button you press does something you don’t expect? Probably not but that’s alright. You’ll still have fun trying.
Sick of your friends beating you at video games? Don’t worry! Even with up to 5 of your friends that are really good at games, the real challenge here is figuring out how to play.
Lose Ctrl is many things, but one thing it is not: predictable. Its a mixture of many things and evades classifyability. But fear not! It will all make sense in the end as the games development is supervised by CEO Martin Apple. His vision ensures the quality of the product.

- Race against your friends in vehicles you definitely don’t know how to drive.
- Play Segway Golf and try to hit a hole-in-one while battling your own muscle memory.
- Attempt Segway Basketball, because regular basketball wasn’t confusing enough.
- Compete in Fall Folks, a game mode where falling is not the intended goal—but good luck avoiding it.

OMG!!! how can a game be so frustrating and fun at the same time?! it brought up so many emotions in me: at first I was amused, then annoyed, then angry, I screamed around, I cried, then I giggled, I laughed, I loved it - so far. And I think I got a lot better with the controls in a short space of time - what a great sense of achievement! - and then I got very bad again. But that's life! This game is full of funny ideas and details. I also liked the sound design. The violin melody at the beginning makes me emotional every time I start the game... I can't get it out of my head. I even whistled it in the supermarket recently, it's such a catchy tune. And the car radio is so relaxing, I wish there was a playlist for this game! What I also really liked was the retro design and the drawn characters!!! Goro and the kid are my favorites, they are so cute! and of course Tweepy the roomba. I'm thinking about getting one myself.

Awesome game! Unique concept really well executed, especially for early access. The single player is challenging in ways I have never seen before. The multi player does that as well while also providing Mariocart levels of competitive frustration. I would love this game to catch on and see the levels of skill that could be developed in all the different difficult levels. Definitely recommend!4 found this helpful
Great game. I had a lot of fun playing this. The minigames are entertaining, and the switchup in the controls provide a thrilling and unique experience.4 found this helpful
This is the Dark Souls of QWOPs2 found this helpful
Challenging Soloplayer Story that can get really frustrating but is at the same time much fun. The multiplayer also includes many minigames that are not included in the story mode which are also alot of fun when you compete with other persons. And thank you Martin Apple for your inspiring and uplifting messages during the multiplayer :p2 found this helpful
Absolutely unplayable. That IS a complement. Joke aside, this is a tough and challenging one, and definitely tries to say something.
