About The God Paradox
An action-rhythm-puzzle-platform game that will test your skills and your patience as the game’s developer talks you through each screen. However, there may be more to this simple world of screens than what meets the eye, and this so-called developer may have motives of his own.
Features:
- Over 100 challenging levels – you will die. A lot.
- A peculiar story about facing the realities of life.
- Every level a puzzle – you must decipher the pattern behind each level to progress.
- An extraordinary original sound track by the amazingly talented Caleb Klomparens.
- Everything is synced with the music – use this to help get into the flow of the levels.
- A separate Free Play mode where you can try to play each chapter with the least amount of deaths and/or best time.
FAQ:
Q - Those colorful effects look cool, but they may be a bit much.
A - For those that are prone to seizures, or pro players who want a cleaner experience, a majority of the effects can be disabled in the Options menu.
Q - How many levels are there?
A - 103, 90 levels in the story plus 13 bonus levels.
Q - What is the estimated play time?
A - The average is about 3 hours. However, because the game is so difficult, play time can vary wildly from player to player. Some people have taken upwards of 6 hours, while the fastest we've seen someone beat it is 1 hour.
Q - Is there a way to just play through the levels without all of the story stuff?
A - Yes, you can play Free Play mode from the beginning, where story elements are disabled.
Q - The player character has a "01" on it, does that mean there will be multiplayer?
A - The "01" on the player is story related. There is currently no multiplayer. Multiplayer for Free Play mode was in the works for some time, but was cut due to time restraints. We *may* release it later on as a patch.
Q - Can I play this game on my Youtube or Twitch channel?
A - YES! Free marketing is always appreciated. Feel free to monetize the video too. Just make sure to link the Steam page in the description or in the video.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's interesting concept and challenging platformer design with a genuine story, but struggle significantly with gameplay execution. Common complaints center on unresponsive controls with missed button inputs, confusing audio-visual synchronization that disorients rather than guides (especially during complex sequences), and a lack of polish in areas like graphics, controller configuration, and display options. The difficulty often feels dependent on luck rather than skill, and technical issues make progressing through harder levels frustrating.
I want to like this game, it really does look interesting, but the gameplay keeps pushing me away from it. The correlation between the environment and the music is there, but doesn't help direct you when you really need it; sure it helps when it's just a platform and a wall alternating, but switch to more complex obstacles such as the projectiles, and it only serves to disorient you, as it's synchronized with the projectiles rather than the jump's I have to take. (I haven't found a better strategy than just rushing and hoping to get lucky in "harder" levels). I believe a good example of what I'm trying to describe is this level at 26:14 https://youtu.be/8rbOgClLduM?t=1574. Fast moving platforms that alternate counter-clockwise, but they move fast, meaning that if you synchronize your jump with the beat, then by the time you're airborne the platform is already gone. To get that jump right you have to compensate, making the level more confusing than it really is. PS. Really sucks because I'd love to see the story.2 found this helpful
A completely godawful 2D retro minimalist pixel platformer/action game. The developer didn't even bother hiring an artist to do the graphics and it shows. This one doesn't even have proper controller configuration or a decent fullscreen mode, and no support for ultra high resolutions. Worth avoiding at all costs. There's better platformers available for free.1 found this helpful
Yo ♥♥♥♥ this game, it doesn't register half of my button presses!
Cute game!
Never got around to finishing it as of me writing this but it's a tough yet rewarding platformer with a real plot.
Good
