Exception is a 2.5D side-scrolling platform game developed and published by American [2] studio Traxmaster Software. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in Summer 2019. [3] Exception debuted at PAX West in 2017 as part of the Indie Megabooth. [4]

The game is set inside a computer system taken over by viruses in which players control a protagonist attempting to stop these viruses. Gameplay is based in environments which rotate and transform. [5] The title consists of more than 100 levels [6] which include leaderboards which allow players to compete for the fastest times. [7] Exception's soundtrack includes contributions from synthwave musician Waveshaper with eight additional artists. [8]
