Play as Sam, a kid that controls the dead! Defeat your enemies with magic and control their bodies to solve challenging puzzles!
Sam, a regular kid whose life usually consists of drinking chocolate milk and playing with his dog, finds himself trapped in a dark realm with newly found necromancy abilities, and a strange man who claims to be his guide.
Help this young boy find his way through the Trials of Azra for his own survival. Will you be able to set him free and unveil the truth behind the mysterious ordeal forced upon him?

The gameplay is mainly about defeating and controlling your enemies, then using them to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.
Once you control an enemy, you can switch back and forth between it and Sam. This ends either when the controlled enemy dies, or you start controlling another enemy (you can control just one at a time).
The game features local co-op, which will probably (if you and your buddy get along) make things a little faster and more fun. Careful though, now there are 2 players who can mess up a puzzle or get killed by a deadly trap!
The main way to deal with Sam's foes is by using magic. Aside from the basic projectile, there is a number of spells to learn. Spells consume mana, so you should keep an eye on that blue bar. Health and mana regenerate with food, which sometimes can be found served on a table, but really, is there anything better than eating it straight from the floor of a room inhabited by giant rats? We don't think so.
Trials of Azra intends to challenge the player's wits and skills with increasingly difficult puzzles, and keep introducing new content as the game advances, mixing it with the already adquired knowledge in order to make it more complex the closer it gets to the end.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's creative and varied puzzle design, but many feel misled by its marketing emphasis on puzzles when the game increasingly shifts toward precision platforming with demanding execution and pixel-perfect jumps. While some enjoy the challenge, others find the platforming sections frustrating and wish they were optional, particularly those who expected a slower-paced puzzle experience.

Don't be fooled by friendly cover. This game is difficult. The puzzles are not that hard, but some levels require pixel perfect fast platforming, and jump height depends on the duration of button push. So if you're couple of milliseconds wrong, you're reqt. If you like slow paced puzzle games, avoid this one.
The game itself is okay. Puzzles are fun. I give a thumb-down because of misleading game description that emphasize on puzzle. I wrote this review at maybe late game (area 4, room 3). The further the game progress, the more it leans to precision platformer. There is even a dedicate precision-platformer, ninja-frog stage that have no puzzle at all. Game description and tag emphasize on Puzzle, but, for me, the puzzle logic is not hard. What is hard and frustating is executing that puzzle logic. I view combat and platformer elements(like instant-kill spike, spinning saw-blade) as frustrating obstacle in solving puzzles. I wouldn't buy this if I knew It has precision-platformer elements. I don't like this genre. Let me say this again, the puzzle logic itself is good and fun, don't misunderstand that. --- EDIT still, have patience enough to beat the game change this review to thumb-up, because don't want to be too harsh on indie You should like this game more than me, if you are into action and platformer. This game gave me a mixed feeling though. some part fun, some part frustrated
Pretty good overall, It's mostly a puzzle game, with a few unexpectedly hard platforming section, that should have been optional IMO.
Is okay.
Amazing puzzle-platformer. All levels are so different and interesting!
