Reviews for AN Escape Series #1

[chryoung]

Enjoyable with a general complaint

The one problem I usually have with this click games is the departure from rationale.

<spoiler warning>

specifically

1. why the lock combination should be related to the instrument panel in that particular fashion would be utter coincidence and not something anyone would look for when trying to escape. A more plausible example might be to leave a drivers license hidden somewhere and have the birthday be the combination (i.e. a common number series people use as passcodes)

2. wiring diagram hidden in cieling. Just wierd! Also slightly disturbing that not every cut wire should be spliced back together. A wiring diagram would make more sense if there were color connections to make like blue to red for example.

I liked the feel of the game and enjoyed figuring out the parts I did. I'm sure a more thorough and patient clicker would have puzzled out the parts I gave up on.

Nice, but there should be more clues.

I liked the game a lot, but the only problem I had was that (as far as I could tell) there were no clues as to how the wires should be connected. I did most of it by myself, but I had to go to the walkthrough to find out how I was supposed to connect the wires.

I think that you shouldn't have to guess in these games, because then you're not figuring out how to do something, you're just clicking things until it works.

very very good i luv these click puzzle games, cant really review it becuase i found abug, maybe its just for me. i cant use the electrical wire on the connection wires in the panel under the steering wheel. other than that very good game

Great puzzle game!

The idea is simple but very intelligent, it gives the possibility of a LOT of mini puzzles plotless, and this one was pretty cool, even if not very difficult (i finished in 00:07:19, is that good or bad?).
I hope (and i think) newgrounds will see another game like this one...a little more complicated if possible.

P.S: the sound was quite boring, you may put the button to remove it or add some ambient music.

Great...

...game ! :)
Hope to see more escape episodes from you... ^^

If you wanna some suggestions:
- after you open something you should be able to open it again without using the key, etc. again
- I had to replay it 'cause I connected all the wires on my first play, I wasn't able to find a way to cut them (after finding the guide), if so try not to make dead end choices, that's something I always hated in videogames (my personal opinion).
- Great choice about blocking TAB button, that ruins all escape games !!!

You can just click the wires to disconnect them :)
