Don't Look Back is a short game I made in 2009. Some reviews of the original version: "A perfect example of doing more with less" - The Escapist "Every game with a lead character necessarily has a moral. Every single one. It's just rare that the moral is so uplifting." - Jayisgames "It may be a pop song, but it´s like a Smashing Pumpkins single or something, from a concept album." - PlayThisThing}

When I heard it was short. I thought I could finish it in like 30 minutes. But, once I found myself strategizing with each room. It started to bite away at me with numerous resets. And so after an hour in, I got to the Devil Boss and quit once I saw him spawning the spider & bat at the same time. While I may complain I do love these little minimalistic games. But, it was just a skill issue on my end.

I genuinely loved this game from the first time I fumbled my way through many, many, many deaths to get to the end(?). Having limited space, I would cycle through games on my phone but always come back to this one. So it lives forever on my 4S just in case. Fantastic work. Hope even a fraction of the comfort I get finds its way to you. Thank you.

Ein absolutes Juwel zum Nulltarif und es läuft sogar immer noch 19.12.24 unter ios 18.2 auf einem iPhone 16 pro und das will etwas heissen da ich das spiel bereits seit 12 jahren immer mal wieder anwerfe. An den oder die Entwickler grosses lob und (leider) keine konstruktive kritik weil perfekt. Und ich kann hier nichts schreiben was nicht schon von anderen erwähnt wurde.

The original was so good I had to reverse engineer it. (Terry said no for me to publicise my work so no link) Here are the results of my analysis. Code neatness: 8/10 Some possible crashes could occur under certain circumstances (undefined behaviour) Graphics style: 9/10 All the graphics looked good, nice to see more animation compared to VVVVVV (even if this game did come before it) Music and SFX: 9/10 Great soundtrack. The ambience also provides a good atmosphere. Level design: 10/10 EASILY the best thing about this game. Simplistic yet challenging levels that are really fun.

Es un juego muy hermoso, simple y corto a la vez (no más de 1 hora). Inspira ver como con tan poco diseño se creó una linda historia. Lo recomiendo. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque le falta poder guardar y porque los controles son un poco toscos a veces
