Paganitzu
A 2014 puzzle-adventure where dying is mandatory, not a failure state. Clever level design wrapped in a lo-fi Aztec tomb aesthetic.
GamerScout Verdict
For puzzle fans who appreciate weird experimental design more than polish.
Compare Prices(5 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Paganitzu
I spent a few hours with Paganitzu expecting another retro platformer, but it flipped the script: this is a puzzle game where you *must* die to progress. You guide Alabama Smith through an Aztec pyramid, solving each room by figuring out how your death interacts with the environment. It's genuinely inventive, and when a puzzle clicks, it feels earned. The arcade-adventure framing keeps things snappy and weird. The catch is production values match the budget. Visuals are functional, not charming. Difficulty spikes can feel arbitrary rather than fair. It's a niche concept that won't click for everyone, but if you want to play something unambitious and strange, Paganitzu delivers exactly that.
