Why you’ve got to try out Escapee Go!
Tuesday, 26 January 2010
Put the best of Pacman, Bomberman and Metal Gear together, and then wrap around it an original story of a Psychic Girl running away from an asylum – Escapee Go! is an example of a great formula for a really fun game.
No, I’m not reviewing the game. I’m just looking at what it takes to stand out in a crowded game market where everything’s been done before.
If the early reviews are any indication, then what we have here is a cult hit that a bunch of gamers will be talking about for years to come.
If you’re wondering what it takes to make a good game (or even a decent one at that), it’s no exaggeration to say it takes blood, sweat, tears, and a whole lot of manhours.
Kudos to the team and my buddy Eugene Ong, who led the game design.
(Escapee Go! is a game made by local gaming company Gevo Entertainment.)
