👓 Lonster's Review:
Pure retro-future chaos! The controls take getting used to, but once it clicks, this game is pure arcade energy. Rayguns, robots, and rescue missions? Count me in.

🌟 Legacy:
Its bold style and humor paved the way for satirical and stylized shooters. Still referenced by devs today for isometric design.

✨ Cultural Impact:
It’s become a cult hit among retro fans, especially those who love kitschy science fiction. Its unique visuals are still iconic.

💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
Escape is a beautiful blend of charm and challenge. It’s cheesy, chaotic, and absolutely worth rediscovering. Atari went wild with this one.
