You control the ball on its journey to freedom. In qomp you use only a single button to defeat bosses, solve puzzles and overcome platforming challenges. At the end of your journey lies freedom. Or does it?

Fun, quick, imaginative little game. Some parts can seem overwhelming or impossible, but everything's doable, and completing a puzzle or level is really satisfying. Plus there's a neat option for speedrunning, if that's your thing. Through its visual cues and forgiving structure, it never got so difficult or frustrating that I gave up on it. That said, the game can be beaten in less than two hours, so if you only feel like going through it once, its regular price can seem a bit steep. But overall, I enjoyed my time with it!
Genuinely endearing little puzzle game with the perfect blend of planning and reaction in its puzzle design.
I really like qomp. Always introducing new mechanics to test you and keep your interest. The minimalist visuals and audio are great, and the achievement are very reasonable (no speed run or zero death stuff).
In an hour and fifteen minutes, this game takes the core one button concept in a variety of different directions without really exploring any of them. Sometimes it plays like a meta joke on video game iconography, other times it's a surprisingly regular ol' platformer with tricky obstacles and locked doors etc. In the end it's... a missed opportunity?
Kreativ, geht nicht auf den Sack, anspruchsvoll, aber nicht zu hardcore (dafür ist der Challengemodus im Anschluss.. den habe ich nicht mehr gemacht :D)
Klare Empfehlung, wenn man mal 1-2 Stunden Zeit hat und nicht mehr als einen Button drücken möchte.

A genuine effort that wins you over by being good and earnest. More than simply the 1 button game.
The narrative ideation gives it so much soul and along with the audio and visual art elevates it far beyond a gimmicky limitation.
Puzzles are great and varied, and not to forget well layered which gives the game great mileage out of a few elements. The mechanical and visual design is straightforward and translates well into being simple to understand and fun to play with. You've got boss fights and they're great.
A sub 2-hour elegant game. Recommending it couldn't be easier.
