A fun, simple little platform game. It's short but challenging without being frustrating. (I beat half of the 50 levels in about an hour.)

Dungeon Escape is a high-octane 2D platformer that feels like Super Meat Boy on crack cocaine. Its minimalist graphics and chiptune soundtrack create a nostalgic yet intense atmosphere. The game offers 50 levels filled with devious traps and enemies, demanding precise timing and quick reflexes. While the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, leading to some frustration, the rapid reload times keep the momentum going. At $3.99, it's a solid choice for fans of hardcore platformers seeking a short, fun, and painful challenge.

Not one of the most difficult precision platformers out there but a nice challenge nontheless ! Responsive controls and good learning curve.

A fairly competent Super Meat Boy like hardcore platformer. The controls feel tight and responsive. The hitboxes are fine for the most part - although you will occasionally feel a bit ripped off because of them. The levels are decently well designed and offer a solid challenge. At least, these were my thoughts up until level 19 when the game starts to go downhill. Levels 19 - 25 are full of gimmicks that make the game more challenging out of annoyance rather than clever level design. Level 19 has a fake door and level 20 is upside down. Level 25 is the worst offender with hidden spikes that give no indication they're there. This is thankfully the only level with hidden objects and you can just use [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=718107948]this guide for it. There's also level 37 with a moving saw blade that has no indication it will move. After those levels the game recovers back to having good, challenging level design for the most part. The difficulty level does go up and down, with some levels being much easier than others. There are also sections that require annoyingly precise timing, for example level 47. Depending on how good you at platforming, it will last 1-2 hours. Overall, it's good enough - especially for the asking price and $0.33 on sale.
