About the game
Hyposphere is not simply a classic "marble" platformer, it may also be the most beautiful, thanks to the power of the Unreal Engine 4, as well as the most difficult.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, GTX 550, 2 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.
The value story
Across all 112 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.62 at 79 percent off still sits 24 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. On the same math Marble Mayhem: Fragile Ball ($1.99, scores 21) and Oozi: Earth Adventure ($1.49, scores 72) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand-the hand I...
Picture yourself as a ball around on a thin platform (unfortunately no Monkey in the ball)...avoiding obstacles, making precise jumps from platform to platform....and cursing at your inability to make the marble move the way you want. Then picture yourself doing that 100 more times. It's actually quite fun, until it isn't. Before I get into it: I'd give the game a 4/10. You'll probably play it once and put it away...
