About Radial
While his planet is undergoing an unprecedented ecological disaster, an adventurous scientist is searching for Radium crystals from all over the world. These crystals are the key of his researches on the Radial, an energy that allows him to push back the limits of space and time ...
Embody this researcher that nothing stops, nor the lush nature made hostile by the radiation of the disaster, nor the ferocious beasts that inhabit it, even less the puzzles and acrobatic courses he will encounter on the way!
Discover a colorful universe, mysterious and captivating, supported by a poetic original soundtrack. Master the Radial's powers like teleportation portals or slower time. And go beyond your limits in levels specially designed for the speedrun!
Will you take up the challenge?
• Responsive plateform mechanics
Jumps, Double Jumps, Dashes, Portals, make plenty of aerial acrobatics and analyse the level to find your way through the obstacles, the verticality, narrow passes and dizzying jumps!
• Fights?!
You will probably meet fierce creatures whose genome has been altered by the disaster... and their primal instinct will make them to stop your adventure... But don't panic! Thanks to Radial power, create defensive portals, absorb projectiles and send bullets back against your opponents. You can also use your air agility to avoid frontal attacks! Dodge or confrontation it's up to you!
• Hidden collectibles
In each of the 9 levels, 3 Radial crystals are hidden. To find those crystals, you'll need cleverness, skill, and sometimes just enough curiosity to find their hiding place. Catching those shiny rocks represents an optional entertainment for those who like challenges and exploration!
Feel free to explore the levels that you have already finished to collect them all!
• Did you say Speedrun?
Each level has been designed in order to allow perfectionists, obstinate players (also known as speedrunners), to surpass themselves and beat speed records! Take advantage from every height and slope to accumulate speed and make your run faster, each second is precious.
Will you earn bronze, silver... or maybe gold medals, who knows?

Great game ! Beautiful environments and sounds really cool. Kind of "Portal" but much more contemplative one. I've wondered that it's a game made by students of the school Creajeux, amazing work !5 found this helpful
"Radial" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is an overambitious and badly made platformer with a convoluted yet unengaging backstory and even more convoluted and unengaging gameplay. Locked and obtuse controls (that you can't fix or customise) compound the failure of this game here on Steam Direct. 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. On the topic of visuals, the weak looking 2D retro assets seem like they'd be more at home in a browser game or a mobile app. 3D graphics accelerators hit the mainstream of PC gaming in the mid 1990's with cards like the ATI Rage and Voodoo3D, there's no excuse for such poor 2D graphics in 2025. That alone is enough to disqualify this for recommendation. This game is fairly dated at 5 years…2 found this helpful
往右走是D，你猜往左走是什么？ A？ 正确答案是Q。 而手柄就干脆不能往左走。 而且键位不能改。 虽然看起来是一款很有潜力的2D版传送门，但用这个别扭的键位我连第一关都打不过去。 告辞。 制作组改好了我再考虑回来重新玩。2 found this helpful
Игра Radial — это настоящий подарок для любителей головоломок, сочетающий в себе минималистичный дизайн и глубокий, затягивающий геймплей. С первых минут становится ясно, что перед нами не просто очередная аркада, а продуманный до мелочей вызов для интеллекта. Каждый уровень — это новая задача, требующая нестандартного подхода и внимательности к деталям. Графика, хоть и проста, идеально соответствует атмосфере игры, а ненавязчивое звуковое сопровождение лишь усиливает эффект погружения. Прогрессия сложности ощущается плавно, не вызывая фрустрации, но при этом постоянно подкидывая новые интересные механики. Radial отлично подходит для того, чтобы скоротать время в дороге или просто расслабиться, напрягая при этом мозги. Отличная игра, которая доказывает, что для успеха не нужны кричащие спецэффекты, а достаточно гениальной идеи и безупречной реализации.
