An arcade game with high difficulty level. In the Disc Room we play the role of a scientist who explores a mysterious object in Jupiter's orbit, solving puzzles and avoiding ubiquitous disks capable of instantly turning it into a bloody pulp.
Disc Room is a arcade game with a high difficulty level. Four independent developers, Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Terri Vellmann and Doseone are behind the development of this game, while Devolver Digital is responsible for its release.
Disc Room takes us on a journey into the distant future. In 2089, a mysterious disc appeared on the orbit of Jupiter. The main character of the game is a scientist who decides to explore this structure. The protagonist quickly learns that this facility is a real interstellar slaughterhouse.
In Disc Room the action is observed from the top-down view. The game is divided into small levels, each of which represents a separate logic and skill challenge. In order to make the exit from each of them open for us, we have to solve simple puzzles (consisting, for example, in changing the colours of the fields covering the floor) while avoiding the moving sprockets on the levels. As you can easily guess, these discs are able to turn a hero into a bloody pulp in no time. From time to time, we also encounter other obstacles, such as large maws capable of swallowing a hero. As we progress, however, we are unlocking skills that make our life a little easier. These include, among other things, the ability to clone or even a kind of booster that increases the speed of movement of the scientist.
Disc Room only allows you to play alone. A substitute for multiplayer competition are online rankings where we can publish our time records set at certain levels and compare our performance with other players.
Disc Room has colourful graphics in a clear, cartoon-like style.

Game Ratings for Disc Room Video Game.
COGconnected: 90 / 100 by James Paley
I had no real expectations for this game, and I still managed to be blindsided by what I discovered. Tough, tiny indie games often try to supplement their size with atmosphere, but the results are often mixed. Here, a small project from a smaller team has brewed a fabulous blend of mechanical finesse and atmospheric splendor. The game is crazy hard, and some of the puzzle elements are pretty obtuse, but I still loved it. If you’re not so impressed by the screenshots and the trailers, take my word for it: Disc Room is so much better than you’re expecting it to be.

Disc Room is a hell of floating discs, obscure puzzles and inevitable death. It's great.
Worth Playing: 9 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Disc Room runs with its easy-to-understand premise almost perfectly, so everyone can easily figure out the basics. The accessibility means that the initial ending can be seen by those who aren't deterred by constant failure. The puzzles related to some of the challenges are brain-teasers, and the simple analog stick and one-button controls are very responsive, providing more incentive for players to dig deeper into the game after the credits roll. Give Disc Room a try, unless you don't enjoy the evasive nature of bullet hell shooters.
