- This is a video of me, Tasselfoot, beating the minimalist pixel art platformer Don't Look Back. A few tricky spots, but all in all not bad.

The ending means it was all a fantasy the man is having while staring at the grave. He never actually goes to the underworld, the game itself is just him imaging if he could get back his love/bride/what-have-you. That the player character gets blown into sprinkly bits along with her at the end would imply that his soul, too, is destroyed for having lost her. Aw.
That’s such a smart analogy. I thought this ending was such a lame ending but actually I’ve changed my mind
My favourite flash game ever made. I've never had a simple game like this evoke emotion in this way before. Fucking brilliant.
Orpheus was a skilled minstrel who was to marry Eurydice when she suddenly died. So he traveled into the underworld and convinced Hades with his music to let her go. Hades agreed on the condition that Orpheus could never look at Eurydice-who would follow behind him-until he was out of the underworld.
Orpheus and Eurydice began their travel above, but Orpheus began to fear that he was tricked. So when they were close, he looked behind him and saw his love before she returned to the underworld.
yeah, this game is pretty deep
That ending is breathtaking (and it also kinda freaked me out with the GASP sound). At first I thought it meant the guy was dead...standing up, though one of the comments explained it better. It's a twist from the old myth. You bring back the ghost, you don't have to be stuck in Hade's cruel cycle. You move on.
was actually really impressed with this game. i think it highlights how the platform can b used more creatively
this game is hella nostalgic
i also really liked it cause it felt pretty dark and strange in the plethera of fun games on cool math games
it's sadly unplayable now, cause flash died.
rip
It's back! It's really laggy, but back!
@@manatee0753 where?
@@manatee0753 ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!
@@deathknight1239 he’s probably talking about cool math games. But if you can find the SWF for it and the original flash player you can play it without it being super laggy.
Hey, man! Today you can run this game using the ''FlashPoint'' . There are several games, around 200,000. Very easy to install, and even this game is there.
Who else found this on cool math ? XD

and you find yourself... still standing there. Wanting her back. Your "journey" to bring her back was just your imagination. She is lost, but you must move on. You can't continue looking back at the past. Don't look back.
actually the name is Orpheus. Orpheus was a very good singer and Lute player. When he went back into the underworld he sang for Hades until Hades, touched, allowed him to get his lover back. Hades said "You can have her again. All you must do is leave here the way you came in and she will follow you, but whatever you do don't look back." Unfortunately, towards the end of the story Orpheus looks back at his lover to see if she was still following so he ended up losing her anyway.
Wait so is the guy standing in front of the gravestone the guy we were playing with all along?
Yes, the game is the fantasy, the end is the reality.

What's that supposed to mean?
I've found this on Adult Swim games and played this many times.
Wow, you make it look easy. Their are quite a few tricky parts to get past.
thank you for bringing us this amazing game with the real music.
I always liked this game. Today I learned about Orfeo and Euridice, nevertheless, I can confidently say this game is brilliant by itself.
such a great game they need to bring this back
It's based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, look it up :)
I think the "Don't Look Back" part of the game might also mean that he is always figuratively looking back by mourning his wife.
In short, the game is all like GET OVER IT DUDE, STOP LOOKING BACK.
I love how much the music skips implying how many times you died.
Look up 'Myth of Eurydice and Orpheus' on Wikipedia. :)
Hekateras The game totally reminded me of that.
This game was so nostalgic i remember playing it years ago and watching these playthroughs and i still have it installed
i used to play this as a kid and it feels kinda sad and creepy at the same time.
I'm confused and I still don't really get the ending yet. But it's great that it makes me think about it so much.
The guys wife died and he is imagining going to the afterlife to bring her back. The end of the game is him coming to terms with her death.
@@bahutbharatiya3946 I am sad
@@gunswordfist so am i :(
Guys I suggest you to play a flash game called "400 years". It's clever, with wonderful music and a great story. Even if you can't find the solution it's worth watching it on youtube
I want to play more games like this.
the only way to win this game is by not looking back (as you do to start the adventure). this is to say, don't try to retrieve the dead girl. just accept that she's gone. because even after all that work, you can never win her back again.
i beat it before even seeing a walkthroigh. i just waanted to see if people had any on youtube. this is awesome. and gratz for beating the game too.
Glad to see tthis game isn't forgotten
i love how when you first get the gun the bat comes at you and you just stand there and suddenly
**quicksope sound**
Very Limbo'ish climate. Definitely a small gem.
this game is now on coolmath games
Does anybody know where you could get that gasp-sound the girl makes if you look back and when you get to the end?
I've always thought it would make for a very nice text-message ringtone.
u hella creepy
i remember finding this on cool math games and i ended up making it popular for like 2 weeks in my class
it's an artsy platformer. the goal is to get to the ghost of your dead lady, then return her to the gravesite.
It’s a sad song from way back when. And we’re gonna sing it again.
man those song are perfect...
Love the sound effects :P.
Damn I just found&played this game and then checked for videos... this is so fucking great
wow I just finished the game, it was awesome!
Nesbeth’s Alive Again
its like the vicious cicle of don't look back
What a beautiful game
When i first played this game i was like this is trash so I looked for a walkthrough to see what the point was...now this is a beautiful game to me
Now it all makes sense. Thanks.
I don't even know what am i doing here
after starting this game and reading the comments I HAD to see the end and all i can say is ................MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!
Or it based on Greek mythology , where perseus or someother hero went to the underworld to rescue his recently departed wife from Hades. Hades let him have his wife back if he didn't look back (at her) until they was out the underworld. Other then the goofy ending everything in this game points clearly to the greek love-story.
this game is soooooo much fun! I finished it twice. :3
@ksmxx i like watching lets plays after i beat games and this was the closest to a lets play i could find.
Yes I finally beat it woo thx
great game. it was pretty easy but really good.
the ingenious with this game, is 2-sided platform level-design.. even going the other way you can do it.. and the difficulty level is slightly increased too
this is basically the underworld turned into a game
you r a beats at this tasselfoot. nice job.
thank you. that clarifies it so much. I thought he was dead too or some dumb thing like that.
I remember I beat this in computer class 😢
played the game and won 2 badges in 1 day.Cool huh?Btw,what r the songs called in this game?
Was I the only one who was pretty frustrated when watching the part at 3:33?
The End is the best omg xD
i don't get the ending
What an ending.
who ever is here in the future just know that this games is still awesome
facts
awesome game
@GinaLadiee can you send me the links to the similar games you've found?
I still don't totally get the VERY end. if somebody has some pointers on what it means, i'm open to suggestions.
I see it as the first man looking back right before they arrive ... it would have made more sense if, in the beginning intro movie, there was a flicker that the PC faced. Then it would be foreshadowed more ...
The sad story is only made more depressing by the violin music throughout the game. Add in the rain near the end and you've got a recipe for a real tragedy.
I know Im replying to a month old comment, but the man in the story lost his wife. So he ventures into the underworld to save her soul and bring her back to life. I dont get the ending either, though. Sorry.
The music reminds me of the hunters dream from bloodborne
dog or ball beast thingie?
i remember this story...its about a man named Orpheaus or somthing and he tells Hades to bring em back...and the catch is to not look back or it dont count...so he brought he back by singing o somthing but at the end of the story he looks back
my personal interpretation at the end is that its supposed to be a continous cycle...
meaning that 1st self tried to save de spirit girl and almost succeeded..and then back-in-time self "looked back" and we both were wisped away..problem is that he didnt look away...
so maybe im wrong
My interpretecion of the end:
when a close person die, is imposible bring come back but part of you are gone with her.
sorry for my english
It's no possible to go to the right in the cavern because, if you do it, you look back and the wife's spirit dissapears...
@animeotaku307 you're wrong about the ending. he looked back when he was out of the cave, but Eurydice wasn't. he failed to realize that part of Hades deal. someone else has probably already said this, but oh well.
umm is the dog supposed to be the 3 headed dog from "Hell"?
what will happened when you look back?
@ahmeadows There's more than one version to many of the Greek myths including this one. What you just said is one of those variations you heard while the one I said was the one I heard.
I can’t get past the stage with the two birds and the snake
What happens if you look back ?
I am stuck on the disappearing paltfomrs, damn !
she disappears if you look back
I wouldn't call it "pixel art" though. It's more of a retro look, almost like CGA games (but with a different palette that could nonetheless easily be replaced with CGA's). Now I wanna see a full DOS version of this game, complete with support for CGA and crappy PC speakers. :P
@animeotaku307 so, then he evaporated?
@GolemofMeat I think the idea is that all the journey through the underworld was just in his imagination, he wishes to take her back... and obviously he can't.
If anyone us confsued, this is a greek love story about Orpheus & Eurydice, so they were in love with each other, and they were getting married? so when Eurydice was coming up to him, a snake bit her I believe and died, so Orpheus decides to go to Hades, and asks to see his wife, so Hades agrees, but he only has one condition, is to never look back or she'll be in the dead forever. So Orpheus climbs and climbs he decides to peek behind him and see's Eurydice falling into the dead again. Orpheus decides to go back, very depressed. he sang love songs that made people fall in love with him? soon he was in the wooda and three (I forogt what they were I'll just call them monsters) monsters attack him and he dies. So he is in the dead with his wife and he can look bad at her whenever he wants, The end. If you wanna watch a video here's a video, idk if I could send a link??? It's called "The tragic story of Orpheus and Eurydice - Bredan Pelsue" The youtuber's user is TED-Ed your welcome.
Thanks, i didnt know that. This is game is way deeper than i thought
i hate the sound when you turn right when when the ghost lady follows me
@boethiah12 So easy that you are looking at its walkthrough?
Thank you
thanks i couldn't pass the horse thing
LOVE this sad song...some1 no the name?
I thought I beat the game wrong when I disappeared at the end but I guess I didn't ... What was the point of the ending, I'm so confused!
oh i get it! he got her out thinking shed be alive. but they were both dead when he went into the underworld!!
This game was based off A Greek Myth with Hades and Morpheus, so yeah, the big scary dude is hades, but you'd imagine a god to be invincible.
Do you know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice?
This is similar to it.
@people who don't understand the ending
Cmon now. Even if you didn't get the greek myth reference (I didn't) you should see some meaning here. At the very beginning you see the guy standing in front of a grave. It's raining. Depressing music is playing. Obviously the guy is sad. Then, halfway through the game he finds a spirit, and you are sent in the other direction. Now you know he made this great journey to try and ressurect his loved one. You finally get back in the beginning, and..
It is the ceberus. This game is based of a mythological story of the same idea. A guy goes into the underworld to get his dead girlfriend. However the end is different. In the myth the guy was right at the end of his way back and he was out but his girlfriend wasn't he looked back and she vanished. I think he wound up killing himself after that but I'm not sure. It's the same idea though. He didn't have to fight Hades though.
I wonder if anyone else thinks so, but the woman`s spirit kind of looks like a thin grenade.
Its the tale of Orpheus. You only partcialy correct. His wife dies and Orpheus convinced Hades and his wife to have a chance to bring her soul back. The condiction was if he looked back her soul would be forever lost to him.
In the end he made it out then made the error to look back befroe his wife sould had left and his efforts were all in vain. A sad story nice put into a game here and in other places.
(Persona 3 making people more intersted in Greek Myths since 2007)
This reminds me of Atari
Saddest ending ever
I beat this game a few minutes ago.
