NimbleEmber88 4.5/5

Hard to put down

PROS: - Intro. - Beat. - Music. - Rhythm. - Mechanics. - Graphics. - Design. - Visual. - Outro. CONS: - Mirror levels can give you hell if you suck. Final Remarks: Don't let the extremely simplistically minimalistic visuals deceive you. 140 isn't just yet another indie game; it's pure art. No need for more explanation; play it. You are welcome. . RECOMMENDED .

140 is a true work of art

140 is a true work of art. It conveys a level of emotion rarely seen in videogames, and yet there's no text throughout, making it very immersive. Instead of having things explained to you, you have to rely on the music to guide you, which is quite hypnotizing. It'll take you only about an hour to complete and will leave you speechless. I have never been so moved by a videogame before. 10/10

So, what is 140?

So, what is 140? It is a minimal, abstract platform game. Aside from that, it is a really cool platform rhythm game. The levels start out "simple" the music isn't too complicated. As you get to checkpoints, more complex rhythms are put into the soundtrack and these make other things happen: blocks appear and disappear, shapes grow and shrink, static fields jump, bouncy floors activate, gravity shifts. Paying attention to the music and how it affects the level is crucial to finishing. At the end of each level there is a boss fight. Each level the boss fights get more complex. Once you have finished the game three mirror levels open up. One wrong move and you fail - you must complete the entire level without dying. And all the patterns are backwards. Yeah right. Fun but short platform game.
