The Artful Escape

The Artful Escape has you play a guitar astride a psychedelic dove

With every E3 there's at least one game that makes you go "what?" The Artful Escape takes that honour this year, showing off  2D platforming where you strum a guitar in time with your jumps.

You strum a guitar because you want to make platforms appear. Or you might want to make fireworks pop out from the scenery as you land. Or maybe you want to pilot a giant bird plane with a galactic sail.

I don't even know what words mean anymore. I also don't know what the hell this is, other than a pretty platformer with dreamlike sequences and music.

See it for yourself in the trailer above. The only thing that's for sure is its release date: it'll be ready when it's ready, as the trailer cheekily states at the end. Okay then.
