APE OUT

It's way simpler than something like Hotline Miami, but it's also easier to get into the flow of things. The music is absolutely phenomenal too.

finally, i can return to monke
but still keep my jazz

Simple fun game about an ape smashin' shit. It feels good, it gets hard and I enjoy speedrunning it in my own time :)

One of the best indie games I have played in a long time. The premise is simple: this is a top-down game where you control a gorilla navigating through various levels of different shapes and sizes while evading what I would describe as policemen trying to shoot you down.

Aside from the basic gameplay, the game is structured around four jazz albums, with each level playing in sync with the tempo of the jazz song at that moment. The entire game consists of four double-sided albums that you must clear to progress, and it executes this concept brilliantly.

The art design is one of the standout features that sets this game apart from other indie titles. It masterfully blends contrasting colors, shifting from noir to vibrant orange within each level, giving the game a distinct and visually striking look.

10/10. Will definitely recommend.

Very fun and clever indie game.

Ya like Jazz? Ape out is a fun (if short) playful exploration of procedural music generation. You cant beat, beating down your enemies to the beat of the drum. Crashing, symbols smashing heads to your own cacophonous rhythm.

Unique and enjoyable art style. Fun gameplay and maps. GREAT music and purpose. 9/10

Hotline Miamia meets Birdman

Harambe if the world had more justice...

Positives - First two "campaigns" are extremely challenging but entertaining and doable. There's a 60s type artstyle that works well with the cartoonish movement, people and gore.

Negatives - I've not tried the fourth campaign but the third is objective horse feces. Imagine an open arena where there are ten million shotgunners, flamethrowers and no way to outrun them or take cover.

Would rate this a half-half if I could. Great opening segments, garbage later parts.

Incredibly stylish and brutal action game. Visuals and music are so well done.

This shit will make you go PRIMAL, FERAL and batshit insane

He is just like me fr

Playtime of about 70 Minutes. Its unique tho. Maybe get it on sale

Doesn't come across it at first glance but this is a rage game. Really feels like false advertising with how fucking annoying this game is.

Fun way to spend an afternoon for a couple bucks.

EDIT: I just finished three of the discs, full disclosure.

This is a love letter to fans of Hotline Miami! The levels get fascinating with stealth levels and clever labyrinthine designs that allow you to trick your captives, so the "shove and kill" play doesn't get old at all.

I love that there is a rhythm element to this as well -- the jazz percussion hypes up the more violent you get (i.e. when the captives go splat, a loud cymbal crashes) and softer the more you hide from them. The embrace of improv melds so well with the seemingly random nature of the level designs, it's just a perfect cherry on top. And if you're bored of interior levels, the third disc introduces an outdoors environment !!

Also I'm terrible at this game lol.

If you are not getting this while on sale for not even 3€ you are a fool! Fantastic, fast paced, violent, incredible "interactive" music (please play it with headphones). The main game is quite short (I beat it in less than two hours) but then you unlock the harder versions of the same level and oh boy beating them is exhilerating! A must buy for when it's on sale!

oooo oo aahhh

Good

APE TOGETHER STRONG

8/10

You play as an ape on a rampage to escape a lab and fuck shit up while jamming to a bitchin jazz soundtrack that dynamically responds to your gameplay.

What the fuck else do you want?

shitty ass game the creator of the game can go shove a pencil up their ass

Great short little game. Art style is unique and sound direction is fantastic.
Really recommend for anyone wanting a short but sweet experience.

The game is fast paced, very violent, has stunning graphics and a great soundtrack that responds to your actions. I would recommend it :D

simple but fun combat, unique artstyle and gameplay, can either feel like a power trip or be brutally difficult, great game

Killer soundetrack

ooh ooh ah ah

The ape got out

gorilla

I'm- oh God... I'M APING OU-💥

A fun, short game. Loved it! The percussion was awesome!

Absolutely loved it. Wish there were more games like these.

goid

I finished this game staring at the screen with sweaty hands and my mouth wide open, Devolver Digital outdid themselves once again.

You just can't cage Jazz.

To expensive for price point but a fun little game.

flamethrower enemy make me ape out

APE OUT described in one word is: style. How the cymbals crash with every kill, mixing with the backing track to create a wholly unique sound with every attempt. And let me be clear, there are gonna be a couple attempts. Some of those might just be my own talent (or lack thereof), but the game isn't a cakewalk when every enemy wants you dead.

This is a frustrating game and I cannot recommend it, even though the style is awesome.

winton fun

very fun and novel experience!! the controls are simple but there's plenty you can do with it and you'll develop your tactics as you play. the gameplay is is challening, but feels very good and is very rarely "unfair." the visuals and soundtrack are both outstanding pieces of art. the play time is very short, but I like that the game doesn't go on too long for what it is.

Short, simple and fun game. Also, the sound track react to player's actions is a nice touch. Love playing it on Steam Deck.

Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a gorilla. Instead, I was forced by my parents to attend an elite university (don't @ me) and become a typical salary man. Day after day, I wear my suit and tie and talk to people who haven't a clue just how much more there is to life than money. I sometimes make small gorilla noises when I close out a sale, to see if there are others like me. Instead, however, I am met with looks of confusion and nervous laughter.

Even outside of work, my relationships have taken a toll. My all banana diet and refusal to not drag my knuckles on the sofa and living room carpet before beating my chest at the funny moving tv pictures caused my ex to leave me for a man who was "stable in more ways than one." Truly, I thought there was no hope for me, no chance to recover.

Little did I know, Gabe was watching me. It was a partciularly robust financial meeting I had, where I ended making my typical gorilla noise. To my surprised, Gabe echoed me. I looked at him, tears in my eyes as he silently nodded and slid a banana across my desk and told me that things would be okay. A month later, "Ape Out" was released. After so many years, I was able to return to my roots and become the monke I always wanted to be. My confidence, my happiness, and my potassium have never been higher.

Thank you Gabe, you big beautiful ape.

Almost broke my mouse playing this game.

From the very first 10 seconds, you’ll realize you’re experiencing a video game elevated to art.

Simple and easy to pick up. Love the art style, and dam the music is good. Great game when you just want to switch off for a short time. Not a long game so can be completed over a weekend. But also great to just jump on and off from time to time when you need to take a break from other bigger games.

good alternative to crack
