Level Devil - NOT A Troll Game 9+

As I was scrolling the App Store for a 2D platformer game, I was delighted to see a pretty cool looking indie game. Obviously, it was Level Devil. (LD.) Out of the 3 games I downloaded that day (Trap Adventure 2, Geometry Dash, Level Devil) I think LD was the best. It takes what TA2 and GD did and did it better. Straightforward-looking levels have the hardest twists, while hard-looking ones are usually easy. The controls are memorable and very easy, consisting of only a left, right, and jumping button. The game gets more challenging as it goes on, which is fun from any game. But LD executes this well, introducing only one new mechanic each gate. (Gates contain levels, and are the stepping stones to the final few levels.) The mechanics slightly get more complex, but they stick around through most levels. And you get used to them. Every time you die is a good practice of trial and error. It takes a bit to perfect a level, but I can say firsthand that NO OTHER GAME gives you a better feeling of victory and satisfaction when your mind clicks to figure out the puzzle. If you like super cool platformers with nice little twists (and buzzsaws), LD is for you. If the developer is reading this, thank you for such a great game. I would have definitely paid.

This is exactly what I was looking for and didn’t even know it. I don’t download a lot of games….like AT ALL. I loved the Where’s My Water series, but apart from that I have Freecell and Phase 10. So I’m not a gamer or game enthusiast by any stretch, mainly because I despise the busyness of it all. Seriously the overstimulation is so abhorrent to me. I don’t understand how people find the flashing graphics and constant notifications relaxing in any way. Tonight, however, I was looking for something a little fun and distracting and this popped up as a suggestion. Instantly I fell in love with the concept as well as the straightforward game play. 10 minutes in and I’ve already paid for no ads. This game is a showstopper!! Every level I KNOW to expect some nefarious twist….and every level, I laugh uproariously while plummeting to my death 🤣 I think it’s the simplicity of it that makes it so amusing and fun….your brain takes a minute to catch up and then by the time it does, you’ve been got! Thank you for such a pleasant experience….you created an absolute gem.

But I mean that in a good way. Very fun trial and error platformer. Sadly you can beat it in about 30min. I hope they decide to add a lot more levels, I’d gladly pay some money to support it if this is an ongoing project. Only major issue it has, and thus removing a star for it, is the amount of dropped inputs is ridiculous. You never lose more than 2 seconds a death, but it IS frustrating to die at least once on every level because it doesn’t register you pushing jump. Or even if you are running left or right, the game just stops registering that you are holding the button anymore, usually resulting in you falling to your death. Not sure why this happens but I’m sure it’s a simple fix, will update review when it’s fixed

Update - issue so far seems to have been fixed in latest update, updating to 5 stars!
