I really wish I could mute the soundtrack as it is extremely repetitive. The game is also super short as I beat it pretty quickly as well. Cool concepts, wish there was more, and that the music could be muted.

This game is not very fun. The concept is cool but the gameplay is boring and repetetive. The music gets really annoying as well. It tries to be really soposticsted with it's story but I thought it was just dumb. Really short too. If I had gotten it for free I would not have bothered finishing the game. Not worth the money.

Amazing game, absolutely worth the money! Trying my best to complete it without deaths now, but the while concept and how you can 'chat' with the developer is just brilliant! Thank you Mr Stollenmayer, please develop another game like this!!

I love the concept, but I got to one part where there are steps you go up, fall off of, and then get trapped because the exits are impossible to reach. Why?! It's the part after it shows you a map of the world, please help.

Very cool concept. (MILD SPOILERS) The "how low must the level of fun be?" line stuck with me as I trekked the orange levels; I don't think any other game has convinced me to keep playing through such a trial. Also, the (normal) ending was *beautiful*. I got chills. The music was a little repetitive, but it was enough to set the mood. 5/5

Apparently you don't need to be an Italian plumber to get a nice platformer. This game looks simple, and isn't that difficult, but it has some unexpected puzzles that force you to with simply moving and jumping and think for a second.

Sometimes You Die presents itself very well; it's simplistic, yet engaging and creative. The mechanic of leaving a clone or body behind to solve a puzzle is not entirely new, but this game does make it fresh with the neat narrative, fluid gameplay, and some fun secrets. It never gets particularly difficult, and I found myself wishing to face puzzles that actually challenged my thinking rather than had me execute specific platforming tasks. Still, I enjoyed my playthrough and appreciate what it is.

Great game, really makes you think (puzzle and meta-wise). Loved the concept and ideas, only minor gripe is bit platform-y at times. Definitely recommend giving it a go.

Absolutely brilliant.The lower reviews aren't getting the concept of the game and the irony behind it all. If you think it was short, then you lost. Because it keeps going.

Just installed the game so haven't played yet but the game shows it costs 1.79 but when you go to pay, it charges 1.89. Not a big deal but thought it should be reported.

Worth every penny of my money, the orange levels are so hard to complete! I also loved the text messages at the end, it really helped you get involved in the game

After playing "Okay?" I had to check out this guy's other games. This is absolutely brilliant, I've had several hours playing and I'm still not finished. Very clever plot and gameplay mechanics, the interaction between the player and developer was done very well, making it even more impressive as this can be hard to pull off. 5 stars from me.

One of the best I've seen lately, very cool conceptually, interesting philosophical approach to gaminglife packed with some really nice surprises that makes you ask interesting questions. Great experience,thanks dev!

Too hard to beat the final level. And completely no reward for finishing. Not even a "you finished" at the end. This game is just a joke on the player.

Loved the platforming, confused at the end. I got the pause, not sure if I beat the game or not, seems pretty short to me. I beat it in a day and see very little replay value. Had a great time playing. Thanks!

AMAZING!! Before I start just want to say there is much more after the pause people who gave 4 stars or less!!!!When I first bought it I thought it was going to be a few levels about a cube, but boy was I wrong. Superb game plz make more! MAKE SURE YOU DO THE PROLOGUE. Played through the whole game very worth the money and (*SPOIlERS*) especially loved the run through of the game again with the developer explaining everything at the end after you completed the prologue. GREAT THING IS YOU CAN ALSO TRY GETTING NO DEATHS
