That Level Again

That Level Again

Let’s start with the That Level Again app. This is a horror-themed puzzle game that will test your brain and play on your nerves.

Frankly speaking, the concept of this game is already a nightmare for lots of people. Just imagine a never-ending Groundhog Day when you also need to complete various tasks. As you may guess by the name, all the levels in this game are the same — but are they, really?

The trick here is the levels are the same but there’s always a new way to pass them. In other words, the way you’ve complete the level before will never work again even if the obstacles seem the same. There are 96 levels and the same number of ways to win you’re about to figure out. The only way that will get you through the game is your logic skills and ingenuity.

Plus, the app does give you a certain amount of easter eggs that will help you come up with a new level-passing way. The gameplay is quite basic on one hand and pretty authentic on the other. It’s drawn in dark grayish colors and there’s a spooky melody playing in the background to keep up with the atmosphere.
