Description

APE OUT is a wildly intense and colorfully stylized smash ‘em up about primal escape, rhythmic violence, and frenetic jazz. Build up nearly unstoppable momentum and use your captors as both weapons and shields to crush everyone on your procedurally generated path to freedom.

Stylish Escape: Embrace bold colors and a dazzling perspective as you rush through tight corridors, open areas, and twisting labyrinths on a mad dash for freedom. Overcome all manner of human opposition, nefarious traps, and breakable obstacles to find each exit and escape captivity.

Grab and Smash: Unleash your primal instincts and incredible strength to overpower your captors. Hold them steady to create a human shield, smash their feeble bodies into walls, or throw one into another in a violent explosion of humanity.

Dynamic Soundtrack: Find your rhythm in the chaos as a dynamic soundtrack of drums, cymbals, and decapitations drive the action to the edge of mayhem.

Played it initially on my friends Switch. Amazing graphic, refreshing soundtrack. It boosted my love for jazz music. You've got listen to the endroll music of this game, It's an old track but just fits like crazy.

This game is a certified banger. I'll eventually beat it on Hard difficulty and try out the "Arcade" mode, but as of writing this I've only beaten the game once through on normal difficulty. It's a pretty short game, I

It sounds simple on paper: Play as a gorilla fighting against humans using nothing but your wits and bare hands. And it IS simple, but boy is it well-executed. There's a good amount of enemy variety and the levels are
