“PLEASE, do your market research first,” Polish developer Adrian Chmielarz tells industry legend Ron Gilbert after the underwhelming release of Death by Scrolling

Death by Scrolling is a unique game where you move upwards through a digital version of Purgatory, battling enemies, collecting coins, and trying to escape death. It’s designed with the fun and unusual style of Ron Gilbert, which initially sounded promising. However, after it was released, many players left negative reviews.
