Gameplay[]
Infurnal Escape is a platformer in which players play as Tom and aim to escape from the underworld by completing stages and collecting golden bones and power-ups. Levels feature straightforward puzzles in which players press switches or use items such as TNT to open new paths in the level. Players start with three lives. If all lives are lost, players return to the underworld and can complete a minigame to recover three lives before restarting the level. The game features nine levels across three environments, including Boot Camp, Mouseketeer Castle and the Underworld, with backgrounds rendered from the original episodes of the Tom and Jerry cartoon.
