WARNING: Browser version's music is crackly, and input delay is a bit high! If you play the HTML5 version, the music, and input delay may make for a bad experience!


A new indie precision platformer just dropped! Choose to experience either the joy of the jump, or the frustration of the escape. The choice is yours.


Difficulty

Play on Min difficulty, and experience casuality! Play on Mid, and just get down to playing! Play on Max difficulty, and prepare to lose your banana pajamas!


Gameplay / Story

Pyramids move in an unchanging velocity, and blink their wonderful friend-eyes at you. Love! Keys reflect shine off your dumb robo-face. Self-deprecation! You spit robo-tones to philosophize in your ongoing praxic play-game. Existentialism! Is it just to feel better? That is the question. Or is the question whether you can escape? Can you escape? What is "the question?" Is there any meaning to asking what "the question" even is? Why do we ask questions? Find out in Escape Robo!


Bugs

"I'm shipping you with a few bugs." I said to this game, and also to Sebastian from the world-renowned butler anime. LOL. Jokes aside, there's probably a few, but I strangled, and choked all the ones I could find (except the moving-platform-visually-disconnecting-from-toes one, that stinky bugger).


Sources / Licenses

Music source links included in readme.txt, you can do whatever with the music, and art assets. The reason the music sources are links is because they were made in ultraabox.github.io.

P.S.S. (Post Scripathy Society)

I nearly haven't tested the Windows version except briefly through Wine, so here's hoping it works.

That was a lot of fun. Like a minimalistic version of Celeste.

How do I start the game?

Sorry. Click on the upper right text (it's a difficulty dropdown), then select an option. I'll put an indicator, because it's not obvious.
