About

Rex: Another Island is a pixel-art platformer that mixes exploration with tricky jumps and environmental puzzles. You control Rex, a dinosaur navigating a sunlit island filled with floating rocks, hidden paths, and hazards. The gameplay leans into precise timing and spatial awareness, with levels designed to test your reflexes and patience. Collectibles and secrets are scattered throughout, encouraging backtracking to uncover them. The game stands out for its charming art style and tight controls, which have earned it a 74% on Metacritic. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, its straightforward approach and challenging but fair level design appeal to fans of old-school platforming. The lack of modern polish or frills might not impress everyone, but the focus on pure gameplay keeps it engaging for those who prefer simplicity and skill.
