About Recursed

Recursed is a 2D puzzle-platform game where the structure of the world can be twisted. Stack up boxes and use keys to unlock doors to get the crystal at the end of each level. Jump into chests to enter other rooms, or pick up the chests and move the rooms around. Duplicate, destroy or alter the structure of the level to solve the puzzles.

There's no way to die, no enemies to fight and no holes to fall in or spikes to hit. The only tool you need is logic.

\

Features\

  • Over 60 levels with hundreds of rooms.
  • Hidden bonus puzzles.
  • An extensive, atmospheric soundtrack.
  • Large amounts of acid.
  • Several sound effects.
  • Graphics.

I think this might be one of the smartest games I've ever played, I honestly don't even know where to begin with my praise for this because I could literally type for hours. This is truly something special, and something every puzzle game fan should make time to play. [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50-EKQddGNw[/b]

Is it graphically impressive? No. Does the gamefeel leave something to be desired? Sure. Is it badly in need of an undo button? Absolutely! But this game more than anything I can think of (other than grad school math) gives me the feeling of struggling to wrap your mind around the hopelessly abstract until it really starts to solidify and you find yourself catching glimmers of understanding leaving you saying “damn that was clever, how did I know how to do that?” Because you don’t end up guessing wildly; you have on some deep level (perhaps recursed 20 levels) learned what to do.

Fun, but tricky, puzzle game. Can hurt your head if you are not a programmer (and even if you are) but satisfying to complete.

When I first bought this game, it didn't receive keyboard input correctly. (It later turned out to be my fault -- I hadn't given Steam keyboard permissions.) The only way I could play it was with a PS4 controller, with some bizarre mappings: the jump and throw buttons were across from each other, and pause was mapped to a [i]very[/i] sensitive right trigger. Sometimes, in menus the game would quit itself, and in levels it would rapidly flicker between paused and unpaused. It was [i]immensely[/i] irritating. Despite that, I 100%'d the game, bought it twice, and regularly replay it. It really is that good. If you're only going to play one puzzle game in your life, this is it. It's the pinnacle of puzzle concept and design, and truly mastering it will clarify your thoughts even outside games. The only grievances I have with it are minor UX issues and the slow ramp-up, but I think the visual simplicity heightens immersion and a faster ramp-up would have been impossible to follow.

Very clever puzzles! ... oh wow, **very** clever!
