Tom and Jerry in Infurnal Escape

Tom and Jerry in Infurnal Escape is a platform video game released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Developed by the Canadian animation studio CinéGroupe and published by NewKidCo, this game marks one of the few ventures into video game development by an animation studio. It features the classic characters from the beloved Tom and Jerry animated series, specifically focusing on Tom the cat.

Gameplay Mechanics

In Infurnal Escape, players control Tom as he tries to navigate his way out of the underworld. The game is structured around platforming gameplay, where the main objective is to complete levels by solving puzzles, avoiding obstacles, and using various items such as TNT to clear paths. Players collect golden bones and power-ups throughout the game, which assist in overcoming the challenges presented in each level.

The game starts with Tom having three lives. Losing all lives sends Tom back to the underworld, where players must complete a minigame to regain three lives before they can attempt the level again. This minigame element adds an additional layer of challenge and helps maintain the game’s pacing.

Level Design and Environments

Infurnal Escape features fifteen levels spread across five distinct environments:

  1. The Underworld – Serving as the game’s starting point, this environment sets the tone with its challenging landscapes.
  2. Mansion – This area likely draws from the chaotic and fun-filled chases familiar to fans of the Tom and Jerry series.
  3. Circus – A vibrant and obstacle-filled environment that tests agility and timing.
  4. Mouseketeer – Themed around Jerry’s clever tactics and escapades.
  5. Boot Camp – A more structured and possibly obstacle-intensive area reflecting military training themes.

The backgrounds in these environments are rendered to reflect the aesthetics of the original Tom and Jerry cartoons, adding a nostalgic touch that fans of the series will appreciate.
