Do you love listening to music?
Do you love playing rhythm games?
Do you love simple yet beautiful sceneries?
Do you love colors?

If you answered yes to all of those, you'll fall in love with this game.

Melody's Escape is a must buy game if you're into rhythm games. But it doesn't offer the "Button Mashing" feeling that Osu! (Also another great rhythm game) gives me, instead it throws me into a fast pace quick reaction time platforming gameplay that goes perfectly well with the music playing at the background whether it's electro, dubstep, japanese songs, you name it. The game perfectly detects the tempo and beat of my music and does a nice job of staying on beat in-game.

The gameplay is relatively simple, you press your directional buttons to jump, slide over obstacles and you hold it to fly across platforms and you also have to tap buttons to clear the beat that you encounter. It's simple but takes time to get used to especially if you're playing songs with fast beats.

The background is simple yet elegant, it matches with the mood of your music. Sometimes it's on fire, sometimes it's a beautiful aurora and the colors of the buttons that you have to press is nice to the eye and easy to see even though the game is moving fast. It also matches the colors of the face buttons of my controller! (Currently using a Logitech gamepad with an Xbox style facebuttons.)

Overall, Melody's Escape is a must buy for any rhythm game fans out there and a must try for others too.
