GUESS YOU HAVE TO WIN THE GAME FROM SCREENSHOTS

You Have to Win the Game cover

You Have to Win the Game recreates the feel of a 1980s CGA-palette platformer, complete with cyan-and-magenta visuals and a CRT screen curve, then fills it with modern exploration design. Free since its 2012 release, it packs secrets, wall-jumps, and precise deaths into an affectionate retro maze.
