Decently Fun, Mythology-Themed, Unconventional Shooter
Look: 7/10
I like the colors at the very top. And the Pegasus sprite is quite nice. Otherwise just functional: hit those bricks at the top and time it right for the falling "sacred brick" to hit the enemies

Play: 7/10 The manual is absolutely critical: I spent a good while shooting the enemies before realizing that multiples them. Once I knew what I was doing, it was decently fun for a bit, but after clearing 2 screens, it started to feel a bit redundant. It's nice to get your timing right, especially when there are only a couple Furies left which makes it a bit harder.
Feel: 7/10 Apparently there's a mythology theme to this? You're Jason, there's Pegasus, and those are Furies? Not all that clear I suppose. Especially with a name like No Escape heh. Greek myth games were definitely a trend in early 80s, mostly with text adventures but still. Be sure to read the manual/instructions so any of the game makes sense heh. Always nice to feel pretty good at a game, but the allure didn't last all that long. Especially when you had games like G.I. Cobra Strike involving 3-player mode where you can even play as the enemy (tho I didn't find it all that fun, that's still innovative) being released at the same time, this game falls into the sea of Atari action games I mention time to time.
Attachment: 6/10 As much fun as I had for a bit, it isn't worth an extensive playthrough nor a replay. Worth a playtest though if you like mythology games and/or Atari action games!
Completion: Cleared 2 screens of Furies, last screen moved way too fast! Playtime: 15m
