A masterpiece of game design. If I believed in perfect games, this would be it, but it's a solid 99/100 in my book. Super tight mechanics with an incredibly high skill ceiling, though a bit different to get used to. The sound effects are satisfying, the music and visuals are beautiful (a soundtrack that can calm you during even the most difficult of levels), and the replayability is off the charts. The standard levels alone offer hours and hours of content if you intend to get the highest rank on them all, but then there's custom levels. Thousands of them. There is something for everyone, for all skill levels.

7 Years after release and it still holds up very well. There is nothing I see that's really wrong with the game, in any aspect. This is my favorite game of all time and I am glad I went back to play it again.

Criminally underplayed game. I don't really have anything bad to say about it. The progression is smooth, the level design is well thought out, the aesthetic is nice, and most importantly, the controls/mechanics are precise and fun.

I don't write reviews very often (especially on games I haven't yet 100%'d), but this game gets an exception. In terms of 2d platformers, it is nothing groundbreaking gameplay-wise, but the atmosphere, music, challenge, and mechanics all fit together to create a masterpiece. The controls are perfectly tuned so that every death is your fault, and never feels unfair. I've played many excellent 2d platformers this year and I have to say, this is most likely my best experience. If this came out in 2011 when Super Meat Boy was popular, it could have taken it down easily IMO. It's a shame that this is such an overlooked gem, and it is a steal even at full price, though it goes on sale 75% off quite often.

If you're a fan of a good challenge, I highly recommend DYE. If you're not, however, it may not be the best experience for you, as the difficulty can ramp up quite quickly. The game knows what it is and it executes it perfectly, but don't expect anything extremely innovative.

Still enjoy it many years later. It holds as a good game even now, despite being in a genre that doesn't always age so well. 10/10 the beginning of my favorite series.

Reminded me of why I love classic style RPGs. :D Totally worth the price, and then some!

One of my favorite indie games, and it's cheap!
