Developed and published by Quasar Games, Hellevator is a new 2D platformer which will put your puzzle skills to the test as you try to figure out how death can help you escape. Dying is your only option as you use strategy to figure out how and where to die so you can reach the next platform to escape.

Unlike other 2D platformers based on puzzles, Hellevator’s main mechanic is based upon death and possession,” explains the game’s Steam page.

Cannot cross a floor full of spikes? Just sacrifice yourself and possess the closest body nearby! You will have at your disposal a lot of characters with different on-death abilities for you to solve each puzzle.”

Hellevator’s stellar gameplay is matched only by its gorgeous design, which uses bright pops of colour against its sinister shadows for a really beautiful gameplay experience.
