Puzzling Peaks EXE – Adventure Game Review
Puzzling Peaks EXE is a Adventure/Puzzle game from Darius Immanuel Guerrero, first launched in 1st December 2020.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 58+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Puzzling Peaks EXE Stand Out
Pinball, platforming, and golf combine in Puzzling Peaks EXE, a hilariously mind-bending physics puzzle game about a spherical hero named Knightly, a highly confident administrator named Jasmin, and a quirky, artificially intelligent guide named A.I.D.E.
INNOVATIVE STORYTELLING
The unique recipe for storytelling that handed us several industry accolades is refined and expanded upon to craft a memorable tale for Puzzling Peaks EXE. We use a combination of stunning pixel art, music, and unique narrative techniques to paint a charming postmodern story that will keep players intrigued and entertained until the end.
100+ HANDCRAFTED CHALLENGES
This game features a distinct gameplay mechanic: our hero cannot move on his own, so you’ll have to rotate platforms and manipulate environments to launch him around a beautiful 16-bit world. You'll need logic, brainpower, quick reflexes, and unconditional trust in A.I.D.E. to pass more than a hundred highly polished levels. You’ll be surprised that it doesn’t get old.
INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY
Our testers have been enjoying some of the game’s philosophical jokes, and moments that weren’t meant to be jokes.
NO ADS AND NO IN-APP PURCHASES
Buy once and play it forever. You can spend the rest of your life just playing this game if you really want to.
POSSIBLY SPOOKY
This game may contain horror elements and digital beings that could scare you. Given the history of our games, it wouldn’t surprise us anymore.
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game is beautiful the soundtrack is amazing and its fun and satisfying please play this game.
We do not know why we like this game. We usually hate puzzle games. This is more than just a puzzler though.. Im in too deep to quit now. We need to see how this ends.
Super fun and creative game. We do wish it was longer but it was extremely pleasant to play over all. Would recommend.
This installment takes place between DERE EVIL EXE and DERE VENGEANCE. We found it way more difficult than the usual platformer since you don't directly control your character. There's a few really tough puzzles, a few are oddly in the early levels which hinder natural progression. We highly recommend this game to those who like gravity puzzle games. It's worth the asking price.
We played through the whole game twice in just a few days the visuals are cool the gameplay is technical but not annoyingly so, will likely re-download and play again.
This game seems easy yet it quickly gets challenging. Controls/ gravity could be better. Also the AI voiceover idea is neat, but isnt necessary to be honest. We wish there was a way to adjust the sound such as being able to mute the music & sound effects or make them quieter. Pixel graphics are nice to look at and the music is pretty good as well.
Lots of fun and a lot harder than it looks. Great time waster that you can pick up on any level.
Mechanics are fine. That virtual assistant needs to go. The voice is clean but very dull. The dialogue choices are very questionable. Just call us the R word outright for missing something instead of using that psychological terminology. We only played 8 or so stages. Level design needs work because there are some jumps in difficulty in these early stages.

Like the story, kinda the levels are hard, But good game.
What a great ending! We were blown away by the music the whole way through and the ending has a few nice twists. A.we.D.E. Was such a good protagonist. What a ride.
Being a huge fan of AppSir we expected that the game would be great but groaned a little bit at the idea that the absence of the typical rage platformer formula that has worked so well for previous titles would in some way diminish the effectiveness of this game. Im happy to say our concern was completely unfounded. This game was great! It ties in with the other games, has moments of fantastic humor as well as incredible feelings of accomplishments especially if you get lucky enough to finish some of these levels on the first try (be sure to attribute it to luck not to skill; aide will be sure to remind you of this fact haha), one is overall a great game. Im only sad that it is already over.
This game is so addicting. Its definitely a challenge and when we showed our gf how we beat this one level, she asked if she could watch us keep playing it. Its because this game is so entertaining and we honestly just got started. We cant wait to keep playing and we think we got our gf hooked too haha.
Darius games are great, regardless of platform, but have always felt at home on mobile. Puzzling Peaks EXE feels peak AppSir, pun intended. Moving from the hardcore platforming of Dere Evil EXE to the run and gunning of Hopbound, Puzzling Peaks continues the blend of humor and meta horror, this time with puzzle mechanics as the core. The puzzle mechanics feel great and responsive. The gravity and momentum feel consistent throughout, so you feel like youre actually gaining a skill. Everything else from the aesthetic, writing and soundtrack are leaps beyond what AppSir has done before, with Darius prior games leaving a pretty high bar. You best keep an eye on this dev moving forward. While prior AppSir games continued to set a bar, Puzzling Peaks blows all expectations out of the water. You do not want to miss this game and all its twists and turns.
This game is very well made. You will find yourself trying to plan out your moves in advance. Challenging yet rewarding.
