About
**A student team project designed to deliver a ~10 minute experience.
ESC/APE throws you into the role of Abe, a genetically enhanced ape bred for combat and locked away in a sterile testing facility. After a lifetime of experiments, you’re finally given a chance to prove your worth, and the chance to break free!
Master momentum and raw power in fast-paced, physics-driven combat. Slide under hazards, ground pound enemies into the floor, and hurl objects; or your foes themselves, into walls with bone-crushing force. Every movement is a weapon, and every trial pushes your abilities to the limit.

Will you be just another specimen in the lab’s endless experiments, or the first to shatter its walls and escape?

Being a primate brings solace to the soul. thx u, tho i am an advance monkey that must pay taxes and worry about the price of fuel and etc, it feels good to Ape Out ;) and ESC/APE once in awhile..... until the prophecy from planet of the apes happens. We will endure for the time being and continue to pay them taxes. thx for the cool game. Keep it up VFS
