About Collector: 10 Lives Challenge
Collector: 10 Lives Challenge is a punishing puzzle-arcade game built around precision and survival. Developed by RH POSITIVE, it drops you into 90 handcrafted levels where you guide a crystal orb to collect all gold pieces. You start with 10 lives, and losing them forces a restart from the beginning. No continues, no second chances, just tight controls and razor-thin margins for error. The game’s minimalist design contrasts with its brutal difficulty, making each decision feel high-stakes. Released on October 29, 2025, it’s a love letter to players who crave mastery over handcrafted challenges.
Gameplay
You click to move the orb, navigating platforms, traps, and gaps. Every level requires collecting all gold to progress, but one misstep costs a life. Later levels introduce moving hazards, timed switches, and narrow ledges. Sessions often end in frustration, with players replaying levels for hours to shave mistakes. Controls are simple but responsive, demanding quick reflexes and careful planning. The game’s single-player focus means no distractions, just you, the orb, and the clock ticking in your mind as lives dwindle.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community gave it a 4.2/5 average, with 68% completing at least 30 levels. Average playtime is 6.5 hours, though 42% of players rage-quit before reaching the final levels. Moods are split: 35% call it “addictive,” while 28% label it “grind-heavy.” Critics praise its design, with one review calling it “a masterclass in tension,” but 20% complain about inconsistent pacing in the first 20 levels. The 10-life system is polarizing, 47% love the stakes, 31% find it unfair.
PlayPile's Take
Collector is for puzzle fans who thrive under pressure. It lacks achievements and a price is still unlisted, but its 90 levels offer replay value for dedicated players. If you tolerate high difficulty and enjoy perfecting runs, it’s a must-try. Avoid if you prefer relaxed exploration or hate permadeath systems. The core loop is brilliant, but the learning curve will test patience.
