Description

In a game, you die. And imply that it has no effect on you. You feel invincible in the realm behind the screen. This one is different. In this game, you have to die. ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ G A M E ∙ ∙ ∙ What is your motivation? What do you expect from this game? Do you want to beat it? How do you know it can be beaten? This game plays with expectation, illusion, and reality. ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ P U Z Z L E S ∙ ∙ ∙ Think before you act. Who knows what it means to die behind the screen? Is it only a number that goes up? Pixels that change their intensity? Solve disturbing, surprising, and malicious puzzles. ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ D E A T H ∙ ∙ ∙ Is it possible to go through the game without dying even once? Will you aim for it? ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ D I F F I C U L T Y ∙ ∙ ∙ Some think the game is easy. I think, those haven't discovered the hidden levels yet. ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ slidetoplay.com > "interactive art" appspy.com > "manipulates expectations" 148apps.com > "borderline brilliant" ilounge.com > "messes with the players' heads" toucharcade.com > "incredibly unique" tabtimes.com > "extremely clever" cultofmac.com > "must play" pocketgamer.co.uk > "deliciously unputdownable" tuaw.com > "play it, and love it" 80+ levels.

  • Kamibox knocks it out of the park… as usual.

    Kamibox. Enough said. I would love to know where the ideas for these games come from. This game is so unique, and I love the story or plot that you literally follow. It’s such an interesting concept. Do you or have you ever dabbled in console game development, or is there anything on steam, or are these only mobile games? I seriously love everything you put out. My favorite is a toss up between squaredance, supertype, and zip zap. I would absolutely love to see what you would do with an RPG. I’ve no doubt you’re unique stylistic choices, story, and playability would be a smash! Keep the games rolling! So good.

    This is another excellent game, from a brilliant developer, that’s grossly underrated. It seems most people aren’t interested in games that are unique and thoughtful. Anything more cerebral than match 3 is lost on most people. Thank goodness there are still developers who are willing to create great independent games for those who want more than more copies of the same old thing.
  • I won with 11 deaths

    Fantastic game, blew my mind with the orange levels, they are terrifying. What a philosophical game! I love the bonus features after completing the game. Advice: Make a leaderboard to see who has won in the fewest number of deaths! I think Apple added it recently, you can create leaderboards that are sorted by fewest points instead of most points (used for ‘golf’ type games like this one) I want to beat the game in 0 deaths, but there’s one point where I think you are forced to die, unfortunately. So the minimum should be 1 death. That will test my patience! Overall, a very fun and frustrating platformer game.
  • The orange section is a fever dream

    Honestly pretty decent game, I’m a fan of this developers games, but seriously I took me 5 hours to beat one section definitely a good time waster but at the expense of your sanity
  • Solution to the paying problem

    In the stage where it asks you to pay $9999 to unlock the rest of the game, the notification is physical and lets you beat the level.
  • Amazing

    This game is awesome and we all should play it. Hidden number=9240226. You’ll see what that means when you play enough. The ending “bye bye” I saw. Amazing.
  • Best Platformer ever

    Really really good game! I can play this without getting bored forever. I wish the Developer would make more games like this: and yes, I’d pay for more! Thanks Philipp!
  • Definitely the most underwhelming game kamibox

    I’ve have bought all of your games but this is the one that is definitely the shortest and the most meaningless seeming
  • It’s odd

    I loved the game but it was kind of short and I got the prologue code and it just said hi. I’m the developer I don’t get that 10 out of 10
  • Terrible Ending

    By tornadobuster9
    The game has a nice concept, was challenging enough at times, but short-lived and super frustrating at the end. The entire game was kinda easy, but then at the orange level everything was super difficult and near impossible to finish. I’m not even sure some of the levels there were actually possible to finish. So I gave up after 100+ tries and looked up a walkthrough to see what would happen at the end. Guess what? It’s an empty orange room with absolutely nothing in sight. So don’t waste your time trying to beat the orange level, you’ll hardly be rewarded. The insane difficulty on the last level just seemed to be an excuse to lengthen the already super short game.
