The Best Trial-and-error Games

Paradox Error is a surreal take on the scrolling platformer format, combining minimalistic black-and-white presentation with self-aware, fourth wall breaking design. Glitches are intentionally integrated, allowing the player to cheat death, open new areas by triggering bugs or leap off of UI elements as if theyre part of the stage. At its core, Paradox Error is an ever-changing environmental puzzle where youre expected to die repeatedly and use those failures to inform further attempts, until the goal is eventually within reach.

Tackle stage remixes in Challenge Mode and compete against your friends for the fastest completion times on the online leaderboards. A handy new Rewind feature gives players the option to instantly reverse gameplay, correcting unexpected pitfalls or deadly enemy encounters.
