Summary

Death Unphased is a platformer-style game that offers a total of 75 levels across four acts. The game features lightning-fast loading times and a streamlined arcade presentation. It has a jump and dash button, allowing you to dash through walls and spikes. The game is simple to learn but hard to master, offering a high skill ceiling.

However, the game has some drawbacks. It offers bare minimum graphics options, and the mouse cursor stays on the screen even when using the controller. The game is quite difficult, and there’s no way to skip a level you’re having trouble with. Additionally, it doesn’t have a story or online leaderboards. Despite these issues, Death Unphased is exactly what you think it is, and it is a brilliant example of the genre.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
