Sterile laboratory setting. Series of dangerous test chambers. Generic Omnipresent Voice (or, as he calls himself, G.O.V.) running the show. Yeah, that part of Revive, a retro-styled puzzle platformer by JonBro, may sound a little familiar. What isn't, though, is the particular syrup this poor subject is testing is the very secret to resurrection itself. Of course, to make sure the thing works, you're going to need to die and come back, like, a ton of times. Move left and right with the [arrow] keys, and [A] to jump. The goal of each level is to unlock and make your way to the exit door. However, there are a lot of obstacles standing in your way. Don't worry, though! Getting impaled or crushed only turns you into a ghost, allowing you to fly all over the level. Of course, ghosts can't go through exits, so you'll need to pick up either a jug of Life Syrup, or flying into one of the red streams of the same. There are wooden blocks to push (or float through), switches to flip and grapefruit to collect. Since death isn't as much as a handicap as it usually is, you're probably going to get stuck more than a few times, so have your finger poised on the [R] key to restart. There are twenty levels to complete... and another twenty if you figure out a way to turn the tables on your captors. With clever level design and firmly tongue-in-cheek overseer dialogue that captures just the right mix of humor and menace, Revive is perfect for players looking for that sweet spot of simple concept and challenging gameplay.

Revive Walkthrough
Room 1
Move left and right with the arrow keys, and jump with A. Get the grapefruit and go through the doorway. Easy.
Room 2
Jump up the platforms. To reach the ledge below the grapefruit, jump to it from the left.
Room 3
Get the grapefruit BEFORE getting the key. The rest is easy.
Room 4
Jump for the key. The grapefruit is too high up to jump to from the ground, so hold left as you drop down to get it.
Room 5
You can't make the jump, but after dying you can come back to life by grabbing the pitcher of red liquid. Get the grapefruit first, though.
Room 6
Note that you can't pass through gray walls even when dead. Get the key, hit the spikes, get the grapefruit, get the syrup.
Room 7
Touch the red areas when dead and you'll be revived. Remember, grapefruit first.
Room 8
When you're dead, you can pass through the wood. Spikes, key, grapefruit, syrup in upper left. Don't touch the red walls OR the other syrups.
Room 9
Push the crate five steps to the left, then push it back to the right so you can reach the grapefruit. After that, hit the spikes and hit the syrup above the door.
Room 10
Push the higher crate so it lands on top of the lower one. Hit the spikes. DON'T TOUCH THE SYRUP YET. Go around it and get the grapefruit, then get the syrup from the left so you land on the platform with the crates. The crates will stay stacked as you push them; push them off to the left, then push them to the right and climb them to get over the high ledge.
Room 11
Push the crate to the left so you can reach the ledge, then kill yourself on the spikes above the wooden wall. Get the key, then go through the crate under the syrup (crates are made of wood, too!) to reach the grapefruit. You can then get the syrup, then push the crate underneath to the left until it's stacked. Push the stacked crates to the right to reach the door.
Room 12
Those crates can block the streams of syrup. Push them one step to the right, kill yourself on the spikes, and revive yourself on the syrupy stream above the crates. Get the key, then push the crates to the left until they fall, then right once. Then try pushing the crates left again and the upper crate will crush and kill you. Get the grapefruit, revive, exit.
Room 13
Climb up and push the rightmost crate off the ledge, then leave it there so it blocks the stream. Kill yourself on the spikes, fly up to the ceiling above the text, and hold up and left; you'll land on the ledge above the key. Then climb up to where the upper crate is, push it to the left two steps so it blocks the stream, and go kill yourself again; this will allow you to navigate up to the grapefruit and nab it.
Once you've got the grapefruit, revive yourself on the syrupy wall in the upper left, then push the upper crate to the right until it falls to near where the other crate started. Then push the lower crate off to the left, then left until it's under the key, allowing you to reach it. After getting the key, push that same crate all the way to the right until it covers some of the spikes, then go push the upper crate to the left so it falls, then off the platform, then to the right until it falls into the spike pit with its partner. You can then exit.
Room 14
DON'T GET THE KEY YET! Jump over it and get the grapefruit, then climb back up and get the green key. Kill yourself at the spikes near the ceiling, get the key, and revive at the syrupy ceiling above the door.
Room 15
Spoon-switches? Now I've seen everything. A spoon can be flipped if it's facing down, which toggles the red and blue gates. First, climb up and get the green key. Then hit the red spoon nearby, hit the spikes near that, and carefully navigate counterclockwise to the grapefruit (revive yourself on the vertical strand of syrup nearby). Then, kill yourself on the same spikes again, and revive yourself on the syrupy ceiling above the door.
Room 16
Watch the crates as you trip the red spoon, then the blue one. Stay underneath the other red spoon when you trip it so the crate falls on and kills you; this'll allow you to get the orange key before reviving on the elixir ceiling in the lower right. The next part's tricky: push the crate that just fell one step to the right, then hit the blue spoon and immediately jump on top of that crate so the other one squashes you. This'll let you get the green key.
Revive on the same elixir ceiling again, then push the stacked crates to the left until they fall into a ditch. Push the upper crate one more step to the left, then jump from its right edge and hit the red spoon (it's tricky, but doable). After that, keep pushing that crate to the left so you can use it to reach the upper left area. Grapefruit, spikes, fly to the falls near the door to revive, exit.
Room 17
Jump down and hit the spikes in the middle, then hit the green key, then the yellow one. Revive on the syrup in the top middle, go left and hit the red spoon, and kill yourself again on the spikes. Hit the same syrupy ceiling again to revive, then push the wooden crate you just dropped as far to the left as you can.
Hit the blue spoon, then jump over and up to the crate you just pushed and push it as far to the left as you can (again). Hit the red spoon; the crate will prop the red gate to the left open. Hit the spikes, get the grapefruit, hit the syrup above where the grapefruit was. Push the crate back to the right so it lands on the other crate, push both crates to the left until the upper one squashes you, and revive again in the upper middle. Push the upper crate so it lands beside the lower one, and make your way to the door.
Room 18
This one's tricky. First, trip the red spoon, then kill yourself on the spikes in the lower right. Fly through the wood and grab the yellow key, then fly to the left (through the wood above the spouts) and revive yourself in the niche near the green key. DON'T GRAB THE GREEN KEY. Instead, push the stacked crates off the ledge to the left, then off to the right.
Kill yourself and take the same path again, but this time get the green key. With the blue spoon up, push the crates to the right until they're one step away from falling, then trip the red spoon and push them two more steps. Then, trip the blue spoon again to drop them, then the red spoon to jam the red gate. Climb under and around to get to the right of the crates (no deaths necessary), then push the lower one to the left (this kills you, so go revive yourself wherever).
Once that's done, push the lower crate five steps to the left, then push the upper crate off the ledge and leave it. Get to the spoons again (the quickest way is to kill yourself yet again and revive on the middle-right syrup fall), then trip the blue spoon. With that done, kill yourself one more time, follow the floor to the lower left (the crates block the syrup falls) and fly up to get the grapefruit. Revive and push the left crate to the left until you can reach the door.
Room 19
Aha! I see where this is going. Stand underneath the column of spoons, then jump straight up repeatedly until you're at the top. The grapefruit's unmissable.
Room 20
If you want the bad end, trip the red spoon and wait in the gap for the big crate to squash you. But you don't, do you?
Stand in the pit without hitting the red spoon, then jump up through it and quickly climb up and hit the blue spoon; the crate should land on the lower blue gate. Push the big crate to the right and jump from it to the door.
Room 21
Wow, it got dark all of a sudden. Jump up and go through the door.
Room 22
Be careful! If you revive now, you'll be whisked straight upwards. Kill yourself on the rightmost spike bed by walking into it from the right, and hold right so you land on the ledge with the door.
Room 23
Hit the spikes to reach the upper ledge, then push the upper crate so it falls on top of the lower crate. Use the crates as a step to reach the door.
Room 24
If you revive on the pink syrup, you'll be warped to the area with the pink sparkles. Push the lower big crate until it's directly underneath the upper one, then push it one step back to the right. Die on the lower left spikes, push the upper crate off the ledge, then push the stack of crates to the right until you can use it to climb up to the door.
Room 25
Push the box so it falls into the hole to the right, but time it carefully! You want the moving star to end up on the right. Once that's done, get the keycard, then carefully jump over the star on your way back to the upper level.
Room 26
Drop down in the middle, then carefully navigate to the lower right, avoiding the stars. Hit the red spoon with just the right timing to trap the stars on the right, then hit the stars and revive on the red syrup above. Hold left as you do.
Once you're back in the middle, get the green key WITHOUT hitting the blue spoons, then hit the blue spoon in the middle. (If you're good, you can do it without the stars killing you; if not, no worries, just get back to where you were after you revive.) Let the stars kill you next to the red gate (NOT inside it or you'll get stuck!), land on the red gate, and jump to the exit.
Room 27
Push the large crate one step to the left, then stand in the pit in the lower left, directly below the wooden section of floor in the upper left. Jump straight up into the star so it kills you (it might take a few tries); this'll land you in the upper left. From there, hit the red spoon and push the small crate off so it lands on top of the large one.
Push the large crate one step to the left, then push the small crate one step to the right. Then, push the large crate all the way to the right, then push the small crate to the right until it falls. It doesn't matter much whether the star ends up on the left or the right, but you need to push the small crate to the right until you can use it to reach the door.
Room 28
The cannon at the bottom is shooting fireballs that'll demolish the wooden crate after you push it off. No worries. Navigate to the left (it's no big deal if the fireballs kill you on the way, as long as you hit the syrup above) and hit the spikes to reach the upper left. Push the metal crate off and it'll block the fireballs, allowing you to reach the door.
Room 29
Die somewhere beneath the one section of wooden floor so you can land on it after reviving (or, below the pink syrup so you can warp up there). Push the metal crate two steps to the right, then die immediately to the left of it so you can get back up to the upper level. Get to the large crate and push it off, then hit the blue spoon. You can then push the large crate to the right and use it to reach the door.
Room 30
Carefully jump over the little humps, avoiding the fireballs. Hit the rightmost red spoon, then the leftmost blue spoon, then get to the crates. Push the large crate to the right one step, then the metal crate to the left until it falls. Hit the leftmost red spoon, and you can then push the large crate to the right until it drops to the ledge below. Go down to that ledge without hitting any more spoons and push the crate off into the pit, then drop down there and use the crate to reach the door.
Room 31
Hit the red spoon, then push the lower big crate to the left four steps. Hit the middle-right blue spoon, then push the upper big crate ALMOST to the wall, and use it to reach the green key. Once you've got it, go trip the red spoon again, then push the upper big crate to the left until it lands on top of its twin. Push the lower big crate to the right to crush yourself; if you do it right, you'll hit the syrup right above the upper-left blue spoon, then hit the spoon to give yourself something to land on.
Room 32
It's time for a bit of space-falling. Hit the lava directly below the upper-right syrup, then hold left; you should fall down upon reviving, hit the lava again, and hit the upper-left syrup ceiling. Repeat the maneuver in the other direction to get back to the right.
Room 33
Push the metal crate to the right so it fills the big lava hole, then push the wooden crate to the left until it ALMOST falls off. Then you can jump from it to the red spoon. To get back to the right, die on the spikes and hit the pink syrup.
Room 34
Die in the lava and hit the pink syrup to get up above. Red spoon, blue spoon, green key. After that, die in the lava again to get back up, then push the leftmost metal crate off the ledge. From there, drop to the ledge with the card key, get it, and push the metal crate you just dropped into the lava. Die in the lava yet again to get back up, push the other metal crate down, and push it into the lava as well. You can then jump from the crates to the door.
Room 35
You need to be fast for this one. Get to the right side, then hit the red spoon. The next part has to be done quickly: get the green key, drop into the lava, get under the crate upon reviving. Don't forget to hold right to land on the ledge with the door.
Room 36
A fork?! When you trip it, lava will start rising from below. This has to be done quickly: fork, get to the lower left, red spoon, let the lava kill you under the pink syrup, jump across the gates to reach the exit.
Room 37
Don't touch the green key yet! Climb up to the upper left where the blue spoon is, then jump from there to the metal crates. Push the large crate off the ledge, then jump down and push it to the left one step. Climb up the left again, jump to the smaller crate, and push it down so it lands on the larger one. After that, hit the red spoon, then push the stack of crates off to the left.
It's now safe to get the green key, so do so. Now it's time for the big run. Get the cardkey (tripping the fork on the way), climb up the crates, and jump across to right below the pink syrup. Hold right as you get killed; you should make it.
Room 38
It's time for the big reveal. Make your way to the green key, dying on the star immediately after you get it. Watch.
Room 39
Run through. You'll automatically leave all your grapefruits in the pit.
Room 40
After the cutscene, jump across and hit the spoon. After the OTHER cutscene, go back to the door.
