(Update): After 3 years I still occasionally play this game
(Update): After 3 years I still occasionally play this game. Still a nice time waster game if you have ten minutes to pull up and play your favorite music tracks with. With Melody's Escape 2 in the works I hope Loic took notes on the criticisms and suggestions that people gave over these last 3-4 years. Overall this is a nice, simple rhythm game that produces beatmaps to your favorite music (of a wide ranging selection of formats). However the algorithm is limited in the way it produces beatmaps hence many music genres don't sync well with this program. The genres that sync best are electronic music and popular catchy contemporary music, and the occasional rock songs. Overall I love the concept this game attempts to execute. Now that I've seen everything it can do (quite literally, I have 1000+ hours on this game lmao) I believe this concept can be done a lot better. Don't get me wrong i love this game and its ability to procedurally create beatmaps to your favorite music, however I do believe its time someone took this concept and expanded on it. Be it Loic himself or whoever will come up with an algorithm to do so, I eagerly await to see what comes in the future.

Something about playing this game makes me happy
Something about playing this game makes me happy. Melody's Escape is a rhythm game of the, "The experience changes based on what kind of music you're into," sub-variety. The gameplay isn't as complex as something like Symphony or Audiosurf, and really resembles something more like Beatmania, Dance-Dance Revolution, or In The Groove. Colored arrows flash on the screen over an animated background, and it's your job to push them in time with the music. Visually, it resembles an infinite-runner game, but it's really all in service to the rhythm of your music. There's no plot, no greater threat to humanity to overcome, no alien mothership or elder dragon to confront. It's just you, Melody, your music, and a great big stretch of cityscape for her to run through. Something about that just feels so simple and beautiful, it warms my heart. Part of me escapes with Melody, out into the dark of the city, where we can run until our feet don't touch the ground. Part of the draw, naturally, is in being able to crank up Mötley Crüe or Led Zeppelin and watch the game make a unique sort of "level" out of the music. As with so many similar games, though, it was designed with dance-club music in mind, which means that you might get hit with some kind of hard to see sequences when the speed picks up. Melody's Escape also features four different, progressively more complex, modes of gameplay. The authentic experience is probably the "Intense" difficulty, though, with the easier ones mostly being training wheels and the hardest setting being there for complete mad men. If you have any interest in rhythm games, you absolutely owe it to yourself to play Melody's Escape. Get your tunes, dim the lights, get lost in the experience, and maybe you'll feel yourself flying right alongside her...
