    Infinite – Beyond the Mind is a fun and fast platforming experience, bringing with it some excellent visuals and audio. With a little more depth and variety, this would be a must-have title.

Controls are responsive, pixel art graphics are cool and the retro music is really well done. Of special note is the variation between levels both graphically and in play style (There are a number of horizontal shooting levels in amongst the platforming levels which is awesome!) I love the way you can chose your path through many of the larger levels and the boss fights are actually fun in this game too! 16 levels, each split into 2 or 3 sub-levels provides plenty of content. If you like what you see in the trailer, you should definitely pick this up - especially if it happens to be on sale!… Full Review »

    Infinite: Beyond the Mind is a very good pixel-art slasher, action-platformer. That's it. No metroidvania or roguelite tags on this one. AndInfinite: Beyond the Mind is a very good pixel-art slasher, action-platformer. That's it. No metroidvania or roguelite tags on this one. And that feels refreshing. A simple, high quality game with just enough content to make it worth your while.

    I bought this game on sale because I was not sure that it would meet my expectations. Now I can say for sure that I would get it at full price if I knew that I would have this much fun with it.

    A single developer, Emilie Coyo, has created the game I was missing on my Switch. This little gem made me feel closer to my childhood memories, playing Genesis with a friend on a Saturday afternoon.

    While it certainly brings about my retro nostalgia, Infinite: Beyond the Mind has updated gameplay elements that makes it stand tall with top tier games today. You can easily jump, double jump, dodge, air dash, attack and call support, all with responsive controls. Combat feels fast, challenging, and rewarding. Boss fights in particular are well designed, diverse, and gratifying. If you need a helping hand, you can start the game in couch co-op mode.

    You can save your game between areas on normal, otherwise you'll get back to the beginning on expert mode on game over. You also get automatic upgrades as you progress. There are a total of 16 areas. Each with 2 levels and a boss fight. Attemping to complete the whole game is both challenging, engaging and a lot of fun. The areas and enemies feel distinct and detailed enough to help your sense of progression and discovery.

    You can tell that the developer put a lot of care into her first game.

    tl;dr: get the game if you are looking for a good retro action-platformer developed out of love for video games.    … Full Review »
