This small platformer is pretty good for its price and i like the fact that many levels work differently so you need to think that how to do them.

Butt burning cubic platformer, not as hard as super meat boy, but still challenging.
+Super cheap
+At the same time emotes cost pretty high comparing to the game price
+Pretty challenging platformer
+A lot of different types of levels
+Definitely worth its money
+Levels short enough for a fast play, at the same time you can waste pretty much time to complete the game :)

Though the graphics are barely existent, which may lead you to think this is a bad game, it's a minimalist puzzle game, so that doesn't matter. It's quite fun and though it's short, all of the levels are clever and challenging (well, except the last one, in my opinion). The music isn't bad but it's nothing you would miss if you decided to mute it.
However, for such a short game, you'd think there would at least be achievements for it, especially since it's a puzzle game. While it is fun, without some kind of leaderboard, achievements, or any other way to reward the player, I can't fully recommend it unless you don't care about the lack of achievements, or you bought it with a coupon, as I did. (If you got a 90% off coupon, the cards you'll get will probably be worth more than what you pay for). Otherwise, you might feel like you wished you had spent that couple of dollars elsewhere. Either way though, it's a fun game, and $1.99 isn't much to lose.

The game is very simple, what you see in the trailer is all there is. Levels are short, most of them are not complicated in their premise, mechanics are pretty simple, but they are not explained in any way. I finished 39 levels out of 40, cause last levels gimmick is a terrible idea - invisible maze. Took me 1.7 hours, as you can see. Not much substance here.

Not a bad little puzzle-platformer. I found the stages challenging but fair, and even when I got stuck I didn't stay stuck for too long. My only complaint is that there's no controller support. As someone that isn't usually a keyboard gamer, the nimble movements required by this game made my arm tired pretty quickly. I'm not sure it's enough gameplay for the full price, but if you can get it in a bundle or with a coupon, I say give it a go.

Very annoying gameplay, not fun to play at all. Uses "simple graphics" as an excuse.

I got a 90% off coupon for this game and decided to go ahead and buy it for 20 cents. For 20 cents, it's a good game: 40 levels with various changes on the platforming mechanics to mix it up. At full price, I'd be more iffy, but I did enjoy it well enough, so I'd say go for it.

The Deletion is a simple game i got on a really cheap sale. To be honest, I didn't expect much of this game, considering it looked like one of the simplest platformers I'd ever seen. And after playing all 40 levels, that's exactly what I got. And that isn't a bad thing.
Now, this game isn't amazing, truthfully. Watch the trailer, and explore the other levels it doesn't show. All in all, this game wasn't bad at all. In fact, it put a smile on my face after completing it. It really is just a simple-looking platformer.
The abilities were unexpected, the levels all new and completely different from the last one, it keeps you thinking and has you use a little reflex now and then, and it is rather frustrating at times. Basically, a small one hour platformer that has a little challenge to it. It's worth the two bucks.

Is this a fun game? Absolutely. It's a visually basic platformer with a mixture of cliched and new mechanics. The music is quite pleasant as well.
Should you buy it? Well, you should if you're into nostalgia. Remember the days of addictinggames.com and miniclip.com where people made fun games like IndestructoTank and Defend Your Castle? And then released them free? This feels just like one of those games! With the major difference, of course, being that it isn't free. ಠ_ಠ
Luckily I picked it up with a coupon; it didn't cost more than two common trading cards.
Takes around an hour to finish; I'm going to leave it open for some time to collect the remaining cards.
