Escape Plan™ takes advantage of the PlayStation®Vita system's multi-touch display, rear touch panel, swipe interfaces and motion sensor, putting the fate of the hapless heroes in the palm of your hand. Players can swipe, squeeze, poke and slap Lil and Laarg to manipulate the characters and interact with the diverse environments. Only you can help them survive each deadly room before their captor and nemesis, Bakuki, recycles them and turns them into his minions... or sheep.

Escape Plan is a clever and dark puzzle game that'll seriously mess with your head. You've got these two guys, Lil and Laarg, trying to escape a creepy facility, and the way you solve puzzles on the PS Vita's touchscreens is super unique. It's really funny at times, with the deaths being over-the-top and comical. But, it gets frustratingly hard at times, and honestly, I wanted more story to go with all the weirdness. Still, a cool and different experience worth trying.
Not very interesting, decided to just drop it.
Clunky, basic and quite honestly not that interesting. Glad younger me didn't beg my parents to buy me this.

Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
Always loved the off-kilter, macabre simplicity of this one - its rich black-and-white visuals, classical soundtrack, and lovable silent protagonists among other aspects. What should feel like another one of Sony's underwhelming launch titles instead feels totally invigorating due to all these - on the surface - basic features implemented in the most unorthodox, freakish manner possible. Reminds me of the type of thing I'd come home to from middle school in 2011 and play on Newgrounds for a couple hours while chomping down Pringles and a pack of Starburst. A loving tribute to the flash games my generation grew up on just as the medium was starting to die out - a beautiful mix of kooky gimmick gameplay, deadly sadism, and zany humor. Only the seventh generation of gaming could have produced something so uniquely bizarre.

meh. Didn't really vibe with the game on a gameplay or aesthetic level, just thought it was okay. Felt like a mobile game. There are probably better things to play on the vita, but I am glad I was able to see what this game was all about.
Beautiful little puzzle game. Pretty fun and its aesthetics are nice :D
