Mechanic Escape

Mechanic Escape is one of those indie platformers that looks so lighthearted and cute that you mistake it for being easy to play. Well, to some extent it is, but that depends on your experience with similar titles. Either way, it’s tons of fun and appropriately challenging.

In Mechanic Escape, you play as a TV that’s had enough oppression from the controlling machines. With your trusty tool in your hand, you set off to liberate yourself and your kind from the clutches of the enemy by going through a long line of short but challenging journeys.

You won’t fight or shoot cathode ray tubes at the enemy, but you will have excellent jumping and freerun skills. Dash from wall to wall, double jump to reach high up places, swing from things to avoid other things that shoot lasers, and more. Mechanic Escape is a fun to play game; there’s never a dull moment since you’ll always be on the run.

In Mechanic Escape, you have to collect a number of TVs and mini TVs to get a perfect score. Managing to rescue fewer still wins you the round but you won’t get the satisfaction of obtaining that maximum praise.

Moreover, since there will always be a clock that times your level progress, Mechanic Escape is a very good choice for those who enjoy completing platformer levels to perfection and with the intent of getting the best time. The controls are super responsive, it supports console controllers, and since a level takes just a few minutes to complete, you won’t mind restarting it when you fail miserably.

To end, Mechanic Escape is a nice choice if you’re looking to spend a few hours mashing your keyboard or controller. It’s fun, lightweight but challenging, and most of all, you get to rescue tiny TVs.
