About the Game

Brainmelter Deluxe is a challenging, reflex-based platform game with a (literal) twist: the level rotates 90 degrees when you jump.

Game Features

  • Procedurally generated levels mean no two runs are exactly the same

  • Beautifully hand illustrated cutscenes

  • Over-the-top physics-based deaths

  • Lush retro-inspired graphics, contemporized with modern dynamic lighting and particle effects

  • A silky smooth funk and instrumental hip-hop soundtrack to help ease your saltiness

Who is this game for?

Brainmelter Deluxe's randomized levels and permadeath system mean it's best suited to those looking for a challenging experience; one which requires mastery of the mechanic, and lightning-fast reflexes.
