Had a glitch where I lost the receipt because I used it and I wasn't close enough then I got close and it was gone.

That is unfortunate.
I don't understand how a game this polished and well thought out doesn't have a music mute button. Honestly, the voice acting was good but don't force us to listen to this, frankly annoying, music track if we don't want to. Other than that, very playable. Fun, interesting, just the right level of difficulty. I really like the panoramic side scrolling but I think one of the things that makes it more frustrating to use is the hiding inventory panel, I think you sort of have to pick one: buttons with clear clickable space but a hiding panel or scrolling arrows with all the side space.
Aprime responds:
Scrolling arrows with a side space, surely that wouldn't work. Unless I've misunderstood you...
I'll bare in mind a mute button, but you're the first out of thousands to complain about the music.
Thanks for the review.
Pretty fun escape game. The difficulty was good--it was challenging without being brutally hard. However, the controls were downright confusing. I appreciate that you experimented went out of the box, but the traditional center-of-the-room-facing-the-walls method is used for a reason. It was very frustrating to click the sides of the screen like one would do in a classic escape game and have nothing happen. Having to click "back" all the time got tedious.
I also encountered a glitch: if you feed your receipt to the machine before zooming in, it takes the item but still asks for a receipt, and you have to restart the game.
Anyway, keep up the good work and congrats on getting daily 2nd :)
Aprime responds:
I guess I could stick to how it is now, and include the classic elements such as clicking the side of the screen to rotate around. Actually that probably wouldn't work due to the panoramic view I have going on.
I think the true reason for having it in the center of the room, originally, was because the people who programmed it only knew how to create buttons. But, yeah... it must have stuck around for a reason. That being said, I'd wouldn't change the way I done it... I enjoy the panoramic feature I've integrated. Athough, I probably won't have it in the next one... if I create another.
Hmm, as for the glitch you've stated... I'm sure if you tried to do that again, it wouldn't work. I've just done what you've said and no glitch has occurred.
Thanks for teh review! xD
Good but short game.. want more!
Aprime responds:
Lol, next time
Great work man. Been playing point and click games for 10 years, its been some time since i've played on as good as this. Keep up the great work
Aprime responds:
You've played them for 10 years and this is good? Gee, now that's a compliment!
Cheers!
