What can you do if double jump isn't working?

The Artful Escape is a platformer with a unique art style and setting, and you will be doing a lot of jumps in the game, including double jumps. Even if it's included in the game, there may be cases where it seems unresponsive.

If you are not able to do double jumps consistently, you might try lowering your game's resolution. For example, try lowering it to 50% and then check if your game will become more responsive with your double jumps.

Familiarize yourself with the controls

The type of platforming you do in The Artful Escape is quite simple since you will do some movement as well as jumps in order to get to the platforms that you need. However, there are two buttons that are unique. Since it's a game that is musical in nature, you will need to have access to your instrument, as well as interact with different stages in the game.

The Shred button lets you use your guitar to add some good visual effects that go alongside with the music, remember that you can shred in the air as well. You also have your button for ground pounds and stage activation. Another thing you need to remember are the buttons for following music. Check the corresponding buttons on screen to know which key you're about to play next.
