"Really High Hopes"
date: September 29, 2009
When I saw the screen shot for this game, it looked interesting, therefore making me play it. The photography and sepia tones are inviting. Sadly, I was left feeling incomplete. I've seen through your replies to others' comments that you've learned from this game and will take them into account next time but I'd like to give constructive comments myself if that's okay.
The fact that rooms can change upon a 2nd visit is a nice twist and makes the ol' "Read The Instructions" more important than ever. The part that let me down was the fact that there were places where the hand turned to a cursor that never materialized into later places to be used. Perhaps that and more rooms to associate with would have made for a better game. Sadly, it was short and left you wanting more out of it.
The game did show lots of work was put into it and I commend you for that. I feel you definitely have the makings of one of the better possible Escape The Room game-makers. I wish I had half of the programming and design knowledge that you have proven you have. Keep up the good work and would love to see any other games you've created since.
