    Excellent game. Graphics and art design is excellent, a little tad punishing and hard but I'm no pro at games. I miss these type of games remind me of turrican etc back on the amiga but with up to date graphics. Level design in this game is excellent although some distance inconsistencies between checkpoints can be frustrating and punishing.great twin stick shooter Great game

    Drive, dynamic and perfect music. MatterFall it is RESOGUN+VECTORMAN+STRIDER = amazing formula for me.

    Increible, no puedo decir nada más. Solo 20 euros, una jugabilidad super divertidad y una banda sonora de electronica ochentera que es una delicia; no puedo decir nada malo de este juego sinceramente

    If you love Metroidvania style games, then Matterfall is for you, but keep in mind it's a slim clone of those games. Personally I feel this game does a better job at everything minus exploration. It's very linear, but I'm the type that loves that style of gameplay. Difficult bosses, and a one-hit death game mode that ups the challenge. Great little 2-4 hour game that's regularly availableIf you love Metroidvania style games, then Matterfall is for you, but keep in mind it's a slim clone of those games.

Highly recommend if you enjoyed Resogun, Nex Machina, or Returnal.… Expand

    An absorbing mix of ideas: an intense retro-tinged shooter with an unusual level of complexity. [Nov 2017, p.81]

    As a spectacular and blasting experience, Matterfall rides on reflexes of the player. It rides with intensity, speed and... is short. It is so short that you will finish it in 2 hours, then stare at the wall for 2 more. But while it lasts and doesn’t force you to chase the high-score, Matterfall is an awesome little title.

    If you can handle the uncomfortable controls, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in some good old platformer shooting fun.
