Move crates with your finger, lift cages off the ground and escape the king's dungeon! Merlins Adventure: Room Escape is a puzzle platformer and jump n run in charming retro pixel art – every room is a small puzzle you solve with brains, timing and magic. MAGIC AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Merlin masters telekinesis. Touch a crate, a boulder or even a cage and drag it through the room with your finger. Build stairs, block traps, let things hover over chasms – and keep running while you do it. This blend of jump n run and physics puzzle is unlike any other platformer. THE STORY The king won't tolerate sorcery. Because Merlin's magic unsettles the people, the king has him locked in a cage and thrown deep into the dungeon. But bars can't hold a wizard. Room by room you jump, run and cast your way back to daylight – past guards, spikes, bear traps and arrows.
