Escape! is a platformer game in  which you control a man who is imprisoned in a special prison facility. You were put in prison because of a mistake. Would you risk your life to escape prison and expose the truth?

STORY SUMMARY

Escape! lets you control a man who is imprisoned in a special prison facility. He was imprisoned not because of his own mistake or crime but because of his friend's mistake. The man was so devastated when he was thrown into prison. He spent countless days hoping that the police would know that he is not the person they are looking for. Days past and still he was imprisoned. He felt sick because of this and he make a promise that he will escape prison to get his freedom back and to expose the truth about the person who is guilty.

GAMEPLAY

In Escape!, you control the main character as you try to escape prison LA GERA, a heavily guarded special prison facility. Escape! has a unique gameplay because in Escape!, you can't attack your enemies, you can't jump on it too. The only way to defeat an enemy is by using power up such as the thunder power up which will zap your enemies and that's all. There are also some puzzle placed inside the level design to make Escape! more unique.
