About Melody's Escape
Melody's Escape lets you run, jump and slide through a rhythm‑driven obstacle course built from any track in your personal music library. Advanced audio detection reads the energy of each song and synchronizes obstacles, movement modes and visual cues to the beat.
Four difficulty settings let you choose a calm stroll or an intense sprint, while floating light orbs provide beat‑matched collectibles. The game runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and supports full controller use.

Gameplay Mechanics
The core loop consists of running, jumping and sliding as the environment reacts to the currently playing music. Obstacles appear in time with the beat, so timing your inputs to the rhythm keeps the character alive.

- Watch the timing of obstacles as the music shifts to anticipate required actions.
- Use the light orbs as a visual metronome during fast sections.
