You’ve collected all the coins, you’ve beaten all the enemies, and you’ve finally gotten to the right castle and saved the princess.

Now, in order to avoid a nasty time paradox, you’ll have to do it all again. In reverse.

Spoiler Alert, from developer MegaFuzz and publisher tinyBuild Games, is the first platforming game you’ll play backwards, un-collecting every coin and un-killing every monster to make it back to the beginning. This is the first time the game is on iOS, as well.

Check out the trailer below for a quick taste of gameplay.

Spoiler Alert is a comedic platforming game from Danish studio MegaFuzz that won the 2014 Indie Prze Europe award for Most Promising Game In Development. It was published by tinyBuild Studios for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux on Steam last June, and will be available for Android soon.

There are no weird virtual controls here; this is a game re-engineered for the touch screen. All you need to do is tap the screen for each reverse jump. There are 100 levels to get through across four unique thematic worlds. You’ll un-battle epic bosses, upgrade your backwards running knight, and a speed run mode to challenge all your hip friends.

If you love the platformer (and who doesn’t?), you’ll love Spoiler Alert. You can grab this wacky game for your iPad or iPhone and tap your way through all the backwards fun right now for $0.99.
