Escape Plan is a platformer in which we help two funny characters dressed in black suits get out of a prison full of traps. In order to do this, we overcome many traps, trying to avoid the dangers that could detect an escape.

Escape Plan has come to the PlayStation 4, but it fails to make the transition cleanly. The puzzles are dull and the controls are ill fitted to the new system. I wouldn't recommend playing Escape Plan, but if you absolutely must make sure it's the Vita version.
IGN: 8 / 10 by Colin Moriarty
PlayStation 4's iteration of Escape Plan is just as fun as it was on Vita, and worthy of a purchase.
ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Jae Lee
While it didn't blow my mind or redefine just exactly what puzzle games meant to me, it was solid, albeit unspectacular puzzle experience that I'm sure the fans of the genre will enjoy.
Escape Plan Description
A Touching Adventure
From the producers behind the award-winning PS3™ system PSN hit, Fat Princess, comes an original new experience -- Escape Plan™.
Escape Plan™ takes advantage of the PlayStation®Vita system's multi-touch display, rear touch panel, swipe interfaces and motion sensor, putting the fate of the hapless heroes in the palm of your hand. Players can swipe, squeeze, poke and slap Lil and Laarg to manipulate the characters and interact with the diverse environments. Only you can help them survive each deadly room before their captor and nemesis, Bakuki, recycles them and turns them into his minions... or sheep.
Features:
Guide Lil and Laarg to safety by using your influence, skill and brainpower to help them escape from a dark labyrinth of irreverent puzzles and traps.
Help these two hapless heroes by using the front touch pad, rear pad, motion sensor and more to find a plan of escape.
Breathe a sigh of relief as they scrape through to freedom...and giggle if they come to a deliciously messy end. Luckily, helping Lil and Laarg is as fun to play and watch in victory as it is in the hilarious agony of defeat.
