Reviews for "Persist"
Excellent game, perfect balance. Creative and constantly interesting. Challenging in fun way, not frustrating. A surprisingly deep story. Wonderfully minimalist!
BEST, GAME, EVUR!
By far one of the best minimalist platformers I've played in a while. The story being explained in full only at the end makes the message all the more impactful. The gameplay, while simple, still presented a challenge. I was especially impressed in the part after losing my legs and the ability to jump: Every single movement still went according to clockwork, meaning that all the game necessitated was the player's timing; I was thoroughly impressed with the lack of chance and solid level design there.
The theme of "Minimalism" has definitely been captured well enough and for a 48-hour game this is good, very good.
It's so deep! And it made me feel so inspired!
