About Death Unphased
Death Unphased is a challenging precision platformer where you phase through walls, spikes, and enemies with your dash. A short arcade-like experience with the goal of beating your fastest time in each level. Flex your puzzle-solving and speedrunning abilities as you forge the best path to the exit door.
Death doesn't scare you. It energizes you. Phase through anything that would normally kill you and gain an extra mid-air dash.
Experiment - there's always another solution, but it may not be obvious. Cut around the unphaseable acid spikes? Wall jump first for a good angle to chain together dashes? Reposition an enemy for an ideal route?
No hints. Just your brain, your controller, and the ability to phase dash. Will you rise to the challenge?
- Phase dash - Walls and platforms can no longer stop you. Choose how to utilize your dash to make it to the end.
- Dangerous speed - Phasing through an enemy or dangerous object grants you an extra mid-air dash. Chain together dashes to avoid death and blaze past barriers.
- Tricky navigation - Disappearing dash platforms, hovering ghosts, directional push arrows, and more will lay between you and the exit. Observe, learn, and experiment. Think carefully how to maneuver through the levels.
- Level timer - The timer saves the fastest time you've achieved on each level. There is no online leaderboard. The focus is on you to figure out the fastest route and improve on your best time!
- Level ranks - Aim for the S, A, B, or C rank on a level based on completion time! Speedrunners can hunt for the S rank times or even the secret Z rank times.
- Customization - Remappable controls (for controller and keyboard), screenshake disable, and shadow removal allow you to enjoy the experience your way.

The game's mechanical controls are very sophisticated. If you don't give the right input at the right moment, you will fail relentlessly. However, the level design was well thought out and although difficult, it was reasonable. It's amazing how great a game this is for only $5!6 found this helpful
Very fun IL speedrun based platformer with incredibly short but difficult levels. The Z ranks are a fun little challenge with some very interesting routing to obtain them.1 found this helpful
A charming, hidden gem of a platformer. I found it challenging, maybe because I don't play alot of these games, but rewarding. Most importantly the controls are very well fine-tuned, to a degree that is impressive for an indie dev! So when I die, at least I know it was my fault. If you're at all interested in platformers give it a try!
Great precision platformer designed around speedrunning. Level design suits the main gimmick well, the Z ranks are sufficiently difficult and involve a higher level of execution and precision than the typical IL speedruns in platformers. Enjoyed this one, would recommend!
I realized I never left a review for this game, so here it is! This is one of those games that an avid speedrunner can truly enjoy, especially when you have nothing else to do at the moment. It's also perfect for players who love challenging puzzles ones that can push you to the brink of frustration but still feel rewarding. Is this a game for casual players? No. The phasing is tough, and you will fail multiple times. But I’ve spoken to the developer, and I know this game was made with passion and it’s well executed, too. 8/10. I recommend it, and I’ll keep coming back to this game whenever I feel lost in my usual games.
A fun dash platformer with a nice twist (being able to phase through walls and certain otherwise lethal objects) and plenty of gimmicks introduced throughout to make it enjoyable and fresh! The Z ranks for speedrunners will certainly extend my playtime, but otherwise a short game you can complete in just one session. Music and visuals were great too!
