Meal Escape

About

Meal Escape is a chaotic platformer where you play as food trying to flee from overeager diners. Race through restaurants, buffets, and family dinners as different global dishes use their unique abilities to dodge customers and find exits. Each level mixes sprinting, obstacle dodging, and environmental interactions, kick over salt shakers, hide in toasters, or herd other meals to create distractions. Play solo or team up to maximize chaos while racking up points through speed and creative mayhem. The game thrives on absurd humor and unpredictable moments. Levels shift dynamically based on your actions, with every object serving as a potential tool or hazard. From waiters chasing you with trays to family members gobbling down escape routes, each setting offers distinct challenges. Over 100 levels feature hidden areas and boss chefs blocking exits, keeping the momentum fresh. Players appreciate the lighthearted tone and the freedom to experiment, there’s no one way to win, just endless opportunities to cause culinary carnage.

Storyline

At the begining of 2016, Krist Alcázar, a game programming teacher, was challenged by a student to create a model based on photogrammetry and animate it seamlessly. He accepted the challenge and he promised to do it over the weekend (because it happened on friday). He was thinking about what thing he could do it. And thinking, he turned his head towards the kitchen and saw a leg of cured ham… we have to remember that he lives in Spain. That led him to do the photogrammetry, rig the model and make a small demo for mobile, where with a slide, the leg of ham ran through a terrain. The result was a bit creepy but at the same time intoxicating and very funny. That gave him a great idea to make meal escape… So he decided to propose to some students to make some game assets for this idea. It took them 3 months doing it on spare time. After that the idea took strength and Krist Alcázar decided to review it to carry it out and look for financing to develop it. --- Features Have fun doing the hooligan without limits: Find the exit and break the score: The basic idea is like the classic board game “Chutes and Ladders” where depending on where you step you can advance or delay your position. If you escape faster you will get achievements. You can also break the score exploring the limits of the level or creating more chaos. Hilarious and arbitrary moments: Every moment will be unique, memorable and fully of humor. All the things of the scene will be interactable and each one will have their own mechanic. You can create your own gameplay. Transmit your sigh of life and create a legion: Life is what makes you different from other meals and you can share it by touching them. This will make your score grow creating more chaos with your crowd of meals. They will follow you as the leader that you are. Different types of places to eat and hungry people: We will have 3 main types of levels: the normal restaurant with waiters bringing food to the table, the free buffet where people go for the food and the family meal in the dining room of any house. Each place will have different food flows and different ways to escape. Explore the hundreds of levels: Some levels can be tricky and you will have to find the way to escape out. You will travel along the world discovering those levels, bonus stages, final bosses (cooks) and secret spots. All there is to have fun: In this game you do not to kill or die, you can have fun with all items of the scene.
