Reviews for "#Escape: The Waiting Room"

good game m8 put for some reason i cant pick up the scissors after you get them

Aprime responds:

Oh, if you look at the hand gestures on each item, they change dependent upon what you can do with them.

The scissors doesn't display a hand, nor a finger. This means you won't be able to move them or click them. But they're used for cutting the can when viewing it.

Thanks for the review!

My recipe was stuck in the center of the screen, so i needed to refresh the page to make it go away.

You game is adorable, love it =)

Aprime responds:

Ah fixed!
Thanks for that :)

Glad it didn't hinder the score too much :P

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

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.

21 seconds...that Usain Bolt medal.....WAS hard.

Aprime responds:

But you did it in 1/3 of the time required... not hard :P
