simple but challenging. Great sound and style. moving the ape is fun. Like the difficulty curve.

I finished Ape Out this morning! This was a super fun little game. If you’ve got GamePass, it’s well worth a look!

Once I beat the game, I’ll be very curious to read or listen to interviews with the creators. The aesthetic is certainly the thing that grabs attention, but the map generation and enemy timing feel so good I want to really understand what it took to make this work.

I'm about an hour in and Ape Out is even more fun than I imagined. The game over screen is one of my favorite bits of game UI (and I see it a lot, so that's good).
