Swoon! Earth Escape
SCORE: 80
I am very thankful that Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for Swoon! Earth Escape. We were also provided payment to
review Swoon! Earth Escape on Steam. This PC (Personal Computer) video
game is a 2D side scrolling action adventure. These aliens crash on
Earth and must find the parts to their ship to leave. Each level within
Swoon! Earth Escape contains three mechanical parts that will repair
your ship.
The music and graphics within Swoon! Earth Escape are nice. I enjoyed
listening to the music while traversing these levels. There are bosses
within Swoon! Earth Escape as well. Aspects of Swoon! Earth Escape
remind me of Pandemonium! on the Playstation. Swoon! Earth Escape is
done in the retro style. There are also aspects of this 2D side scroller
that make me think of 2.5D. There are objects in Swoon! Earth Escape
that will go from the foreground to the background. Swinging spikes are
a great example.
A controller is required to play Swoon! Earth Escape. I have also been
told that Swoon! Earth Escape will be coming to the consoles in the
future as well. I chose to use an Xbox Series X controller to play
Swoon! Earth Escape. I was able to quickly find the flow within Swoon!
Earth Escape. There is a certain cadence to going through levels within
Swoon! Earth Escape. I also learned to watch for spikes, and other
objects that would take my character out.
In each level we can only take one hit. We have multiple hearts but
those are for continues. This makes Swoon! Earth Escape a very
challenging game with plenty of advanced parkour. An example would be to
jump from one platform to another while the enemy that jumps up and down
is up in the air. I would then have to quickly jump to the next platform
before that enemy came back down and squished me. It all came down to
finding the right timing to initiate the jumps.
If you like challenging 2.5D side scrolling adventure video games then
you will most likely enjoy Swoon! Earth Escape. Players can save their
alien friends, get new suits with new powers, work with your mechanic to
fix the ship and more. Gems, candies, mechanical parts, and hearts are
the main collectible items within Swoon! Earth Escape. I wish the
continues were a little closer together within Swoon! Earth Escape.
I had some fun playing Swoon! Earth Escape. There are certainly
challenging parts within this downloadable video game. I learned it pays
to take it slow and see what happens in front of me. Maybe spears are
being launched from the background, or maybe a giant flying dinosaur is
coming toward the screen. There are enemies that we can stand on for
example in Swoon! Earth Escape. There are five biomes and thirty levels
within Swoon! Earth Escape.
