Players will encounter a well-designed progression of mechanics and challenges, though the difficulty spikes significantly in the final world, leading to potential frustration.

“The game 'reverse x reverse (rxr)' is a puzzle-platformer with the core gameplay mechanic of simultaneously managing two characters, each with their own unique ability (one can dash, and the other can double jump).”
“Most importantly, in my opinion, 'rxr' passes all of the checks for a good puzzle-platformer: good stage/puzzle design, tight controls, steady introduction of new mechanics (and combinations of old)... combined with good artwork, music, spritework, and voicework, this was genuinely one of my favorite games of 2015.”
“These intro stages are followed by a steady stream of new gameplay mechanics, which are accompanied by an initially reasonable difficulty ramp... but the last world is a monster on its own, so be prepared to endure a lot of frustration.”
