About Imperil

The "Pixel Day" award winning title called "Imperil" from Newgrounds is now up for PC release!

"Imperil" is a ruthless retro inspired platformer with puzzles. The hero must save the land that has been corrupted by evil. Place platforms or shift the world around you, move objects with telekinesis or burn enemies with fire to best the many obstacles you come across.

"Imperil Classic", the game we built for Newgrounds received much positive feedback. This is a more complete edition of the game following the same original concept and new features, more levels, more powers, more bosses and more weapons! Explore the world with little to no preparation.

Cute short game, BUT I have some difficulties and I could not find a solution anywhere. [spoiler]1. After completing the main story (defeating final boss) the game is stuck in the "THANKS FOR PLAYING!" screen and there is no way to exit it and save progress. I have to restart the game, but the final boss is not killed again. 2. As I understand it, to get into the gray zones of the biomes you need a bow, and it is obtained from a closed room on the left at the top of the town. And as I understand it, this room will become available after you get all the weapons from all the secret rooms of all biomes. But I can’t get into the secret room of the devil biome at all, although I understand where it is (marked on the map). [/spoiler]

Thousands of retro 2D platformers are infesting Steam, and "Imperil" is just more pollution in a crowded market of terrible games. There are over 17,000 platformers on Steam, literally thousands (you can go see for yourself if you search for the platformer tag on the store, I'm not kidding). And this is far from being one of the best of those. This is a bit of junkware that failed badly on Steam Direct... for a few obvious reasons. The developers unabashedly stole the "dark foreground" art style from Microsoft's Limbo, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of creative bankruptcy here. The rest of the game is just crap assets plastered on a Construct platformer game blueprint. If you play the game, which nobody should (or did), it's a garbage tier platformer brawler with no real interest beyond a badly used object movement gimmick. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. The "game" here is of a pretty low technical standard. The implementation is basic minimum effort stuff, more…

Игра «Imperil» предлагает атмосферный геймплей с элементами стратегии и выживания. Увлекательные миссии, динамичная система боев и глубокая кастомизация персонажа — основные плюсы. Однако сложная кривая обучения и частые технические сбои снижают комфорт. Графика достойная, но не выделяется среди конкурентов. Для фанатов жанра — неплохой выбор, но новичкам может показаться слишком требовательной.

[h1]Before I played Imperil, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
