APE OUT
Smashing.
Ape Out is an ultra-violent ‘top-down shooter’ developed by Gabe Cuzzillo, Bennet Foddy and Matt Boch. This game has been in development for years so it’s nice to see it finally launch. I went in with pretty high expectations and I think they’ve been well met so far.
Positives:
- The art is pretty interesting. I’m not sure I’d call it good in a traditional sense, but it certainly fits well/works well with the game. There are some pretty neat visual effects, but I don’t want to spoil them, so I won’t talk about them. The animations are simple and effective.

Headaches. Restlessness. Chest tightness. Excessive sweating. Feeling constantly “on edge.” Trembling or shaking. Insomnia. Irritability and violent outbursts. This is how I would diagnose someone of whom has been playing Ape Out. Granted, I wasn’t very well at the time.
Ape Out, like most products of a creative process, might have been conceived accidentally, but it’s fantastically considered in everything it does.
Playing subject 4, an Ape who wants out of captivity, it heavily evokes Hotline Miami in its top-down, split-second ultra-violence - but perhaps superficially so.
