"You Have to Win the Game is an exploration platformer with a retro 1980s PC aesthetic."
I adore this game. It reminds me of VVVVVV, but it lacks a soundtrack. It has a power-ups system which kept reminding me of Super Metroid, in the sense that if you are stuck in an area that you cant seem to progress through, you missed something earlier on to help you past said obstacle.
There are bosses, enemies, collectibles(I only managed 84% on my first run) to keep you on your toes and exploring every nook and cranny. It can seem like 'I Wanna Be the Guy' at points, but it is no where near as frustrating as IWBTG can be.
If you haven't heard of it, give it a shot. It's a fun way to spend some time!
