A short, bold, beautiful platformer through the cosmos, with a killer soundtrack and strong narrative. Dull platforming areas and a lack of depth to the gameplay hamper the experience.

There hasn’t been a guitar-based adventure as excellent as The Artful Escape since Bill met Ted.

The Artful Escape is a short but oh-so-sweet platformer that will have you bopping to its impossibly catch beats and transfixed by its beauty.

It won’t challenge your platforming skills, and the action boils down to galactic Simon Says, but The Artful Escape is a gorgeous experience that makes you feel utterly cool.
