# Level Devil: the platformer that moves the floor on you

Source: https://roam.new/level-devil/

Level Devil is a troll platformer by Unept, the name solo developer Adam Corey goes by. The goal is simple, reach the door, but the level fights back: floors drop away, spikes slide out and the exit runs off. It came out on Poki in late 2023, then on iOS and Android, and on Steam in March 2025.

## Why it is mean, and why that is fun

Every level looks easy for about a second. Then the block you trusted falls, the ceiling drops, or a spike appears exactly where you were about to land. You die, you laugh, and you try again knowing one more trick.

Levels are short and restarts are instant, so a death costs a few seconds, not a minute. The game started as a joke to troll Corey's friends, and that sense of humor is in every trap. Critics liked it too: the PC version holds a Metascore of 83.


## Tips for surviving the traps

- **Walk the first pass**: Move slowly the first time and watch what reacts to you.
- **Distrust the obvious path**: If a jump looks too easy, something is waiting on the other side.
- **Watch the landing spot**: Spikes often pop out right where you were going to land.
- **Use memory**: Traps fire the same way each time, so every death teaches you the level.
- **Bring a friend**: There is a 2-player mode: five rounds against someone on the same screen.

## Troll level ideas with a twist

The fun of Level Devil is the surprise. A homemade troll level works best when the trap is personal.

- **Your friend is the devil**: The level taunts you in their voice every time you die.
- **Your room as the level**: The bed collapses, the door runs away, the desk turns into spikes.
- **Fake checkpoint**: The flag that should save you is the trap.
