Level Devil is a masterclass in 'troll' game design, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. It takes the familiar tropes of a 2D platformer and turns them on their head by actively subverting your expectations. Just when you think a platform is safe, it might fall, move, or sprout buzzsaws. It’s a game of trial and error that rewards patience and a sense of humor. The recent updates have brought the level count to around 200, including some 'secret' stages that are as frustrating as they are brilliant.
What really surprised me was the inclusion of a local 2-player mode, which turns the frustration into a hilarious shared experience. The controls are tight—which they have to be for a game this difficult—and the developer’s tongue-in-cheek descriptions ('soft and cozy bullets') match the game's mischievous spirit perfectly. It’s not just a 'hard' game; it's a clever puzzle game where the solution often involves realizing that the game is lying to you. If you grew up on games like I Wanna Be The Guy or Cat Mario, Level Devil is the modern mobile equivalent you need.

Featuring around 200 levels, the game is designed to surprise you with disappearing floors, moving spikes, and unexpected projectiles. While it looks like a standard retro-style game, its heart lies in its subversion of platforming tropes. Players can enjoy solo play, tackle secret levels, or engage in a chaotic local 2-player mode. It’s a game that demands pattern recognition and precision, all while maintaining a hilarious, self-aware tone.
