140 is a minimalist platformer from Carlsen Games built around music. Every moving platform, hazard and gap is tied to the beat of an electronic soundtrack, so reading the rhythm is as important as quick reflexes. The visuals are made of simple shapes and bright colors, and each level builds toward a boss encounter that leans heavily on timing.
It is a single-player game and fairly short, which makes it a good fit for an evening or two. Players who like tight, demanding jumps and want a platformer where the sound design shapes every challenge will get the most from 140. Steam achievements and cloud saves are included for those who want to track progress.
