The Artful Escape made a big splash when it arrived on consoles last year, and we took this supersonic space opera for a spin ourselves with the Switch port in January, calling it “Bodacious, bombastic, and mildly spectacular” in our The Artful Escape review.
The story of a young artist struggling with their identity, The Artful Escape moves quickly from a quaint story about hometown blues into a ridiculous quest through many different galaxies and the dream of performing the best gig this side of the universe has ever seen. Melding platforming and music together to create an unforgettable odyssey of cosmic proportions.
To celebrate its release on Nintendo Switch this year, we got the opportunity to speak with the game’s director Johnny Galvatron about the trials and tribulations of creating such a project, the implementation of different musical elements, and the games many different influences across both music and comedy. We recommend playing the game first, but this interview isn’t filled with spoilers in case that is a worry for you.
