Let's dive into this pixelated rollercoaster!

Gameplay

Strap in! The gameplay in 'Exception' is like having a trampoline in your office—each jump becomes a chance to flip everything upside down. Picture this: you leap through a level, which not only scrolls but rotates like an acrobat at a circus. The game boasts over 100 levels, which is basically a ton of digital cardio—perfect for those who claim they don’t exercise.

Fastest fingers win bragging rights, and who doesn’t want to prove they’re better than friends at nailing pixel-perfect jumps? Hide your shame if you get a poor time; just pretend you were testing the waters. The ability to wall jump, bounce off enemies, and assemble combos makes it feel like an 80s arcade game on a Red Bull bender!

Graphics

Visually, 'Exception' knocks it out of the park with its vibrant color palette and sleek aesthetic. It’s like staring into a holographic unicorn. The environments are not just rudimentary backgrounds; they twist and turn, serving as both playground and obstacle course. Characters animate fluidly, making every jump and flip feel satisfying, as if your controller suddenly got an upgrade to the ‘good vibes’ mode. Running on the Unity engine, the game runs as smooth as butter on toast, boasting minimal lag—a critical aspect when you’re trying to jump over that virus enemy while juggling mental math from your last calculus exam. But let’s not ignore the soundtrack! With tracks from synthwave virtuoso Waveshaper and a squad of additional artists, the beats will have you nodding your head along as you leap between platforms, making you feel like the hero of an epic 1980s action movie.

Conclusion

'Exception' is a solid choice for anyone looking to inject a little whimsy into their platforming routine. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it definitely adds a holographic glow to it. The mix of rotating levels, a healthy dose of challenge, and flashy graphics make for a delightful gaming experience that’s engaging without being overly punishing. So, if flip-flopping through a digital landscape to save your virtual computer sounds appealing, then get ready to experience the memorable chaos that is 'Exception.' It’s quirky, colorful, and a refreshing twist on a classic genre—much like walking into a coffee shop and finding out they serve both brewed coffee and lattes made with almond milk.
