Noita
Noita is a magical action roguelite set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. Fight, explore, melt, burn, freeze and evaporate your way through the procedurally generated world using spells you've created yourself. Explore a variety of environments ranging from coal mines to freezing wastelands while delving deeper in search for unknown mysteries. Pixel-based physics: Every pixel in the world is simulated. Burn, explode or melt anything. Swim in the blood of your foes! Enter a simulated world that is more interactive than anything you've seen before. Your own magic: Create new spells as you delve deeper into the caverns. Use magic to crush your enemies and manipulate the world around you. Procedurally generated world: Explore a unique world every time you play. Discover new environments as you adventure deeper. Action roguelite: Death is permanent and always a looming threat. When you die, don’t despair, use what you’ve learned to get further on your next adventure. Noita is being developed by Nolla Games, a company set up by 3 indie developers, all of whom have worked on their own projects in the past. The three gents in question are: Petri Purho Petri is best known as the creator of Crayon Physics Deluxe. In his youth he also made a lot tiny freeware games. He has also made a bunch of board games, but he hasn't told about it to anyone. So please keep it a secret.

I adore this game. I hate this game. I need this game. I'm better off without this game. This game is unfair. This game is unfair.
(The devs gave me this game for free because... they're nice? I said in a Reddit thread that I intended to buy the game when I was in a better financial situation, and they hooked me up with a free Steam code.)

I hate this game. Would recommend if you're into dying of:
- your own curiosity
- your own explosions
- your own stupidity
- your own greed
- your own ignorance
- your own projectiles
10/10 def playing more.

This is one of my most favorite games, and now this is my son's favorite game. He is eight years old, hasn't beaten the game yet, and yet he just enjoys the tremendously interactive world. I think he has made it to the boss once, but he doesn't seem to care about "beating" the game. He is entirely unaffected by dying and having to restart. As a father, it is truly incredible to see my son have so much joy in something that not only I have received so much joy from but in a way that is so entirely different than my own experience.

Amazing chaos.
Also for those who love the concept but don't want to buy this because of the lack of multiplayer, check out the
Entangled Worlds Mod. It's basically a coop addition for the game through a mod.
It's on github, IntQuant/noita_entangled_worlds

77 hours, 252 deaths and I finally killed the tutorial boss and can start playing the game.

About as "true roguelike" as a game can come. With the exception of a few spells unlocked by defeating secret bosses, The only thing you keep between games is your own knowledge of the Noita's mechanics. The game is hard, and you'll die a lot, but you learn from each one. It won't teach you anything outright because you're expected to learn by experimenting. A tablet you can find in-game reads, "The sacrifice of oneself to the pursuit of knowledge is the highest tribute to the gods."
Rarely will a death be the result of the game being unfair- you're the one to blame 99% of the time. And so you learn that you should always carry water in case you get set on fire or covered in toxic sludge, or you learn to not fire off wands without checking what spells they carry.
Tinkering with wands between levels is where the game's true complexity shines. Good things happen when you add a chainsaw and multicast to a wand with a trigger spell that creates explosions at its impact point.
Noita may give you it's toughest battles, but you are it's strongest alchemist. And remember- True Knowledge is not offered for free.
