Indie Game Spoiler Alert Starts at Its Ending

Indie developer Megafuzz has teamed with YoYo Games to bring their unusual new game Spoiler Alert to PC and mobile platforms.

"Spoiler Alert is a video game that tests your platforming skills, in reverse. It’s a comedy platformer that you play backwards," said YoYo Games. "When you pick this game up, it has already been beaten. The big bad boss is defeated, the coins are collected and the princess has been rescued."

The game progresses from the end, and moves back to the beginning. You must "uncollect the coins, revive the enemies and avoid nasty time paradoxes. In other words, you must uncomplete the game by playing it backwards."

Spoiler Alert was started at a Danish game jam, and from there, the two-person Megafuzz team have continued to work on it to "make it into what it is today," according to its official website.

Does this indie title's interesting approach to the traditional platformer formula appeal to you? Let us know in the comments below.
