About The Unfair Platformer

The Unfair Platformer is an indie platformer for those who love extreme challenges and have "strong spirits." The name of the game gives a clear warning: don’t expect fairness here. Unlike normal platform games where you learn step by step and are rewarded for good reflexes, this game "tricks" you at every opportunity.

What’s Unique About The Unfair Platformer?

• Logical thinking traps: The safe path is not always the right path. The game forces you to try and fail repeatedly and remember every trick.
• Unforgiving: There are no specific instructions, no hints, no concessions. The game seems to "laugh" at all the common skills you’ve learned from other games.
• Minimalist design, focused on gameplay: The interface is simple and easy to access but contains many "tricks" that make you unable to take your eyes off it.
• Music mute option: Right-click to mute the background music a small but useful feature for players who need absolute concentration.

How to Play The Unfair Platformer?

In The Unfair Platformer, you control your character moving through a series of levels using the arrow keys or WASD. The goal is simple get from the starting point to the end. But the reality is quite the opposite. Along the way, you will encounter completely unpredictable traps: sudden collapses of the ground, spikes popping up out of nowhere, visual tricks that make you think you are safe… only to receive a “silly” and helpless ending.

There is no health bar, no “lives.” Every time you die, the game records the number of failures, and you have to restart from the nearest checkpoint if you are lucky enough to have a checkpoint.

Controls

• Move left: ← or A
• Move right: → or D
• Jump: ↑ or W

The Unfair Platformer is not for the faint-hearted or those looking for a light-hearted experience. It is a true mental challenge, where you have to learn to fail dozens of times to progress. But it is precisely this ruthlessness that makes the game so engaging. Once you overcome a particularly difficult level, the feeling of victory is "sweet" not because you are good, but because you persevered through the game's crazy traps.
