Paroxysm

Decent platform game slightly reminiscent of Prince of Persia. No introduction, only NN prisoner (?) and 15 levels of dungeon ahead. Swinging axes, spikes, lava pools... Hard to the point of frustration, but worth a try.

The gameplay was so nervewrecking(ly good) that I was all hyped up after playing for 5 minutes. An amazing puzzler in my book.
Timing is indeed everything in this game, and it is never easy to see exactly what your actions will accomplish before you are in the midst of it. Keep your head down and your heartrate too.

Am I sadistic if I say that I really like this game???

It's great fun to play, it's bloody and with all this deadly traps around it's also nervewrecking. But one thing is for sure: You really need your 50 (!) lives...
