Escaper makes me feel like I’m riding inside one of those clouds you could jump Mario into in Super Mario Brothers 3, if you were good enough at kicking turtle shells to knock out the Goomba piloting the thing. Then, you could just sail above the rest of the level, collecting secret coins floating in the air and watch as the brightly-colored landscapes filled with strange dinosaur-hybrid monsters passed by just below the cloud like an 8-bit take on psychedelic art. Man, they sure don’t make ‘em like they used to.
