Unless - An Excellent Free Platformer

Unless on Steam

Challenge yourself and master 4 Distinct worlds with 66 finely tuned level screens and climb to the top of the Steam Leaderboards in this retro pixel art speedrunning platformer!

The platformer Unless became free on April 12th. They felt it was not successful enough with the 5 USD price tag. They made it free, hoping that many more players would get to experience the game.

It's an excellent platformer, especially for a free title.

If you like platformers, I wholeheartedly recommend playing it!

My review:

Unless is an exceptional free platformer.

+ Great, colorful, varied, discernible pixel graphics+ Great platforming, control, environment and gameplay variance, progression+ Very good tech; snappy loading, resets, navigation, platforming+ Good story characters (just two; they add character and meaning)+ A lot of optional and bonus content, speedrun mode, challenges, leaderboards+ A lot of settings to customize control, difficulty, game behavior, accessibility* ~70/100 min playthrough (all levels/all levels+bonus levels+10 As)* Non-voiced text story dialogues* Limited character mechanics; there's only jumping, with height control; all variance comes through the environment, which I consider a good, well-implemented design

If you like platformers or jump-and-run games, play Unless!
