Grab It Magazine has a report and some impressions about morbid platformer Sometimes You Die, which just went on sale.
Hardcore Droid: "...it’s pretty nifty when a game like Sometimes You Die attempts to subvert the norm, where the only entity you ever kill is yourself, and not only is your death inevitable, it’s also necessary. Were I a literalist, I would rename the game You Need to Die in Order to Finish the Game."
Sometimes You Die is an oddball that landed on iOS last year, making lots of reviewers ecstatic back then. The game crossed the great divide to Android a few weeks ago, so we got our hands on this little hedgehog.
TouchArcade: If you haven't gotten a chance to try Sometimes You Die [$0.99] yet, now is as good a time as any, as the game is currently on sale for $0.99, down from its regular $1.99 price. The game recently got updated to version 1.3, which adds proper support for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, so if you're playing the game on those devices, it'll be all good now.
I love the idea behind this game. Pretty gruesome.
I would love to see this idea extended into a full 3D modelled game. That would be gory.
