About the Game

Run, jump and slide to the rhythm of your own music library!

In Melody's Escape, advanced audio detection algorithms transcribe the energy that you feel when listening to music into a synchronized gameplay experience, with a captivating and dynamic obstacle course. The game will adapt in real-time to the intensity of your music and change the movement mode accordingly, from walking during very calm parts up to all-out flying when your music explodes!

Your goal is the help Melody avoid obstacles and collect floating light orbs, all of which are synced to the beats of your music of choice thanks to very accurate beat detection. With the 4 available difficulty modes, you can choose whether to have a relaxing experience or a very intense one.

My rhythm game before my quality standards got higher. Fond memories, but I wouldn't recommend it today.

It's not bad, but it doesn't hold interest over other rhythm games already out there. I appreciate that you can use your own music like beat hazard.

Nice game. I remember this game looked really cool back in its day since not much music game back then could customize out-game musics. Feel nostalgic:) Although the play any musics 100 achievement feel a bit too much even with short songs. 7/10. Also Main menu music sound really good and still rock hard.

Requires improvements!



Pros:

  • Cute art style.
  • The visuals look simple and decent.
  • The game lets you pick any music you would like to play.
  • The character can be modified and uploaded to the workshop.
  • It can be relaxing if you don't care about messing up.
  • The game doesn't stop if you mess up. It lets you continue playing regardless of your mistakes.

Cons:

  • The game seems to stutter every now and then, causing the player to miss passing the obstacle.
  • The time counter seems bugged - it cannot count the seconds correctly.
  • The game fails to create proper obstacles for specific soundtracks, running the rhythm.
  • The red circle/obstable messes with my brain in the intense difficulty. It makes me think I need to press the left key (the A key) instead of the right one (the D key). I wish I could change the obstacle's color or the shape of the obstacle to avoid this psychological mind-play.
  • [*]With everything written above, the game is absolutely frustrating when trying to achieve the "Synesthesia" achievement. This achievement requires passing all obstacles perfectly 10 times without messing up. Reaching perfection is painfully annoying in this game. I quit playing the game until I remembered about it after almost 10 years because of this.

I can hardly believe it! After all these years, revisiting this beautiful game made me realize that I never left a review—and it truly deserves one. This game holds such a special place in my heart.

When I was 15, around 2017–2018, I was lucky enough to be part of an exchange program that took me to London for a year, something my school organized annually across Europe. Although I had family there, and part of my mother’s side is Irish, I found it really difficult to connect with other teenagers from such different cultural backgrounds. It was honestly a bit of a shock at first. Those first three months were especially tough. I felt so alone—far from my intimate family, anxious, and out of place, even with the girl I shared my dorm room with. Making friends was harder than I had expected, and that feeling of not quite belonging weighed heavily on me.

But during those lonely months, this game became my refuge. Throughout that entire year, whenever I needed to escape, I would curl up in bed, put on my headphones, and let myself unwind in its world. It brought me comfort in a way few things could during that time, easing my anxiety and making me feel a little more at peace. This game truly holds a special place in my heart. And though I might be a little biased, I speak from the heart.

The creator of this game is someone who truly understands what makes a game fun, challenging, and relaxing all at once—something that's so rare, especially in a game that finds the perfect balance between simplicity, immersion, and replayability, just like Melody's Escape.

It's a rhythm game where you press buttons or keys to complete actions, striving for a higher score while making sure you don’t fail as you move through the levels. The levels sync with the beats, tempo, and sound of the music you provide. I’ve tried it with MP3s and WAVs, and it worked wonderfully, though I haven’t used other formats since MP3s are the most common.

The difficulty varies, from pressing a single button to more complex combinations of colored buttons and directional keys, making each level a unique challenge. The difficulty is generally lower than Audiosurf, which makes this a relaxing experience, perfect for unwinding rather than a high-pressure, rage-inducing marathon. The real beauty of this game is how it helps you connect more deeply with your music—it's perfect for those quiet, peaceful moments after a busy day. If you’re someone who thrives on intense competition or extreme challenges, you might find it less engaging after a while. But that's not what Melody's Escape is about. It’s about finding joy and peace in the rhythm of your favorite songs.

I would absolutely recommend buying this game, or even gifting it to a friend. It’s a gem that deserves to be shared, and I would love to see its community grow. Plus, the more support the game gets, the more it can continue to develop into something even more wonderful. Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you enjoy your escape just as much as I did.

My favorite part of this game was being able to add my own mp3 tracks and kind of "zen" out while playing. However, the gameplay is just kind of middle of the road. There are other games that do the rhythm game genre better.

A really awesome game. One of the best indie games I've played. It's very simple, all you do us use the buttons in sync with the music but it's so well made. Perfect for 5-10 min just to relax.

It's not great at making songs intuitive and fun to play. Feel like I get punished for paying attention to the song instead of just pressing the buttons on the screen. Issues with it not recognizing files are annoying.

I'm only giving this game a thumbs down so that you guys know to skip this game and just go for melody's escape 2, trust me it's way better than this one and it fixed all the problems this game had. The keypressing for the obstacles especially for higher BPM songs is pretty god awful not to mention you have to press 8 keys and can't even see the obstacles on the sidescroller until the very last second on top of that most of the obstacles are practically stacked on top of each other and very common to miss, meaning getting full combo's on intense or overload difficulty is alot harder than you might think, you also need MP3 files with enough duration and music intensity on them to even count towards achievements, otherwise the game will do a scan, if there aren't enough obstacles generated [a problem fixed in the sequel game like i've been saying] well guess what? it won't count towards your achievement goals at all. Trust me and just do yourself a favor. Skip this and play melody's escape 2. lol.

THE GOOD:
+ Pretty graphics.
+ Stellar audio quality.
+ Autoplay makes a good screen saver.
+ Tempo Analysis can warn players ahead of time how well a custom song is integrated into a level.
+ Customization isn't limited to just music: you can adjust a level's speed, respawn time, button presses regardless of difficulty, etc.

THE NOT-SO-GOOD:
- Custom maps will have button-presses that don't match a beat or note in a song.
- Anyone with FPS issues may have to look elsewhere: this game doesn't allow any FPS customization.
- Meters depicting a song's atmosphere may through off beginners as they progress to higher difficulties.
- Autoplay only shows one type of difficulty. Even if the player isn't playing, they can't choose if autoplay will take place on the easiest or the hardest map.
- Atmosphere for custom songs doesn't always match. For example: a song with a fast, bass-heavy chorus will get slow-paced obstacles while a much slower bridge gets the speedy rocket-shoes.
- Custom options can confuse beginners, as there are no explanations for what each piece of a level refers to (ex. "what does it mean by 'density'?").

PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
~ This game introduced me to Shirobon's work, and "Regain Control" has to be my favorite track.
~ I learned my rhythm game skills have gotten rusty because my fingers started to hurt a few songs in.
~ I bought this game 5+ years ago and started replaying it now. While I don't remember how much I paid for it at the time, it's current price ($9.99) feels a little high for what feels like a small game.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
The ability to play with your own songs is the main pull for Melody's Escape, but the only on-beat obstacle courses are for songs that aren't from the player's own files. I can only recommend this game if you plan on vibing with Shirobon's music and Shirobon's music only. The generated custom levels for custom songs just...fall flat.
I just hope this issue was addressed in the sequel.
