Clever Platformer ‘Sometimes You Die’ is $0.99 Right Now

TouchArcade Rating:

If you haven’t gotten a chance to try Sometimes You Die ($1.99) yet, now is as good a time as any, as the game is currently on sale for $0.99, down from its regular $1.99 price. The game recently got updated to version 1.3, which adds proper support for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, so if you’re playing the game on those devices, it’ll be all good now.

The game is a challenging platformer that is very meta-referential. There’s a robotic narrator that talks about what’s going on in the game, and makes commentary on the nature of games, and what you’re doing and why. It can feel a little heavy-handed at times, but it’s also remarkably clever, has some tricky platforming segments, and some surprises that pop up. It’s certainly a lot more interesting than most platformers are because the narration makes you think.

For $0.99, Sometimes You Die is a nice, thought-provoking way to pass the time. Our Chris Carter gave the game 4.5 stars, so two Carters can’t be wrong. Once you’re done with the game, join our forums to chat about it, but not beforehand as to not spoil anything.
