About This Game You may think it's simple enough to run and jump your way through life. But there's more to this world... or, rather, these worlds. You're entering the duality of a distressed mind, controlling light and dark versions of the same environment. You hold the key to switching from one to the other. Every step forward shows a new obstacle, and a new way to alter it between dark and light. Become comfortable in both worlds and you may be able to make sense of the dreamy landscape around you. You may even find an explanation for why you're here. Maybe.Key Features2D world-switching actionSurreal pixel-art landscapesImmersive sounds and striking music tracksIntriguing, ambiguous, downright disturbing psychotic atmosphereAn unsettling, humanizing platformerI'm no hero...This is a cold world I've entered — all alone —where only my questions remain to keep me company.It is your choice to make sense of the answers slowly revealing themselves through time. The mental landscape you must explore is none too friendly. You are charged with following my descent into madness. I can't promise that I can explain what weaves the fabric of this world we've entered. All I know is that the yarn being spun is shaped by your own beliefs.

Perspective shifts are a dime a dozen in games these days, but I enjoyed it in Disorder. Hurts your eyes so might want to play in short bursts. Would recommend.. This game is pretty amazing. I bought it because it looked different but now I am ready to buy it ten times. It's challenging, super dark, and creepy! What else can you ask for? It took me roughly two hours to run through the game, but to my suprise I only unlocked two achievements plus it seems like it has multiple endings, meaning there is still plenty for me to do. I love a game that makes you want to go back and master it. The developers surely didn't lie about this game making you feel down, with the music and the story, not to mention the fact that it gets damn tough towards the end. I'll give it a 9.5\/10 seeing that there is always room to grow. Great Game guys. I can't wait to put some more hours on it!!!. Depression is a lot more common than people realize. You probably know someone who is battling depression or has a relative with the disorder. I know that the past 12 years of my life were filled with it, ruining my college experience and nearly crippling me with anxiety and fear.That a game like "Disorder" exists just makes me happy. I get nearly tear-filled when I see that a developer was brave enough to tackle subject matter that most designers would shake off. While the game doesn't go as far as I might have liked, the vague questions and platitudes make for some compelling writing that really sticks out for me, personally.These thoughts have all crossed my mind at one time or another. You may not know much about the main character, but to see, "I'm not really worth it," cross his mind just reminds me of the hardships I faced to get through my mental illness. It is something that never leaves you, but you learn to cope.The mechanics of the game seem to reflect that. Your character switches between a duality of light and dark. While this isn't exactly original, the story set-up makes the idea very interesting. The graphics also sell the dark atmosphere and sad setting.The game is all about embracing your darkness and moving on with it. There is no sense in sticking to one emotion at all times. You will get nowhere in life, much as this game. You may come up to a dead-end, but switching around polarities can reveal another path.This also lends some non-linearity to the level design. For a platformer to include more than one path is pretty damn excellent. Hidden items are often on those paths, but I did manage to find a couple that were purely alternative routes (often harder, too).The enemies are limited, but each work within the games mechanics. There are dots which reverse their output with polarity changes. Enemies will fire in one direction while in light versus dark. There are some anti-gravity beams that will push or pull you, based on polarity. It makes for some great scenarios, even if a lot of them have been done before.The game is incredibly short, so it never overstays it's welcome. I personally know a lot of the guys from Screwattack, so I know this was intentional. They were born and raised on NES games that didn't waste time. I believe "Disorder" could have used some more difficulty, but replaying the game for alternate paths (or endings) sounds like a very tantilizing prospect.When I said that I didn't feel the game went far enough with it's premise, it was mostly in how little there is to the story. You are never explicitly told what the main character is going through. This makes some of the later "revelations" a bit soft. The full impact could have been extracted had there been some more background.I also think that the very final level is a bit of a cop-out. I will avoid spoiling it, but dying and restarting at checkpoints pretty much negates the challenge. One section did trip me up, but it was mostly down to timing my button presses. Apart from that, you can pretty much breeze through the end game.The price tag is also a little steep. I can see that it was lowered to $10, but I'm not sure if that is fair. I fairly enjoyed the game and would recommend it to people looking for something unique, but the length doesn't seem to justify the asking price. Maybe wait for a half-off sale (I did).Whenever you decide to take the plunge, know that "Disorder" is a very good game. Tackling darker themes and presenting mind-bending puzzles has given us a platformer that feels very different, despite borrowing heavily from it's predecessors. I wouldn't hesitate to say that this should be played by everyone (even if it's not A+ material).7.5\/10. Pros:Great SoundtrackExcellent StoryThe thoughts of the character are shown.SymbolismNice pixel artPretty trading cards.Interesting journal entries.Great atmosphereGreat endingsCons:Game breaking glitches. Please fix this there were several times where my game crashe and I had to restart the level.Frustrating at times.There are two endings, both evoke different emotions. Even though the game can be frustrating, the endings make the game well worth it (besides the other pros I listed).When you play some things over it feels pretty easy if you had trouble before, so if you plan on playing it over that should not be a problem. The dark story of loss and mental illness cannot hide the fact that this is a poorly executed little platformer with muddy controls. It is also badly coded and will in some levels drop your FPS to 10-20 even on a high end machine.. At first I thought this seemed like an interesting platformer with pixelated graphics so I bought it instantly on sale and OMG... what an experience so far!You play as a kid who is going through some serious depression over something terrible that has happened to him in the past. Now that does sound like a cliche type of story but it manages to tell it in a very unique way with being a two dimensional world like Silent Hill. Which overall from the characters, environments, and all the effects are very well animated.Gameplay is what you would expect from a platformer with good controls but has puzzle elements and ways to shift between different dimensions which you will do often. Even discovering messages throughout the game (audio log type things) can impact the story in different ways on how you want the main character to live out his life. Conclusions: Disorder is very unique platformer with good story that have you thinking after playing this game. Also a game that shows how video games is an amazing art form that make amazing experiences that you can't get anywhere else. Highly recommend this game!!!10\/10. Wow! What a great platformer, I gotta say they did a great job here. Really cool both conceptually and in practice! Occassionally a little repetitve and has a bit of cheap difficulty, but would definetly still reccomend a play, esspecially if it's on sale.. I hold this game incredibly close to my heart. It brings joy,disbelief,rage, nervousness,gratefulness,and my gosh does it fullfil it's positive reviews. Absolutely worth the consideration & the play once, twice or thrice. You choose. Either way it's overall a genuine wonder of a game. From me: 9\/10.
