Everything about the game such as the graphics, music, clicking, ran smoothly up to the point with the "salt/pepper shakers and the upside down hot dog picture" that is supposed to somehow reveal a 5 code input for arrows which is BEYOND insane and impossible to figure out alone. ( That code for arrows is left, down, right, up, left BTW). All the other codes were fun and realistically solvable; even with paper and pen. I give you 4.5 stars because of the impossible arrow code configuration: doesn't mean difficult is not fun, but impossible is. If you fixed that, this game would be an easy 5-star rating and really fun challenges.
Reviews for "Amazing Escape Skyscraper"
I love this game! However, I have a one thing I would like to bring to your attention-- a spelling error. When you click the exit on the bottom floor, it says "The door won't open, you will fhave to find another way out" instead of "The door won't open, you will have to find another way out."
Other than that, your game rocks. :)
Entertaining..the puzzle for the screwdriver..I had to see how you got that and I noticed that even you messed it up the first time..perhaps that would have been done better with colors or symbols. It was fun.
One of the most frustrating selfdefiant games of late.
My major bugbears:
-It's always a bad idea to have people inside your traps. Why is the kiosk owner happy that you and he are trapped in there? Does he not care? Does the player not think it strange?!?
-The vent. It says to open it. You can't do it with your hands. Not with the crowbar. You have to unscrew it despite no screws actual appearing onscreen or even told via text.
-The hotdog picture clue. A few problems here. In the walkthrough, it throws you a red herring with the salt and pepper shakers. The clue is misleading: you have to read it left to right, ignoring the vertical positioning.
-Red herrings. Mojos and the Touch of Zen door, even the jukebox. Why are they there?
One thing I really like: The word puzzle. Not only was it easy enough to unscramble but the place where you find the clue is in itself a clue. Nicely done.
Plus, there's actually a direct link to the walkthrough this time! Yay!
Nitpick: you can't close the window on the laptop.
Game play is alright, but not very interesting. I had to rely on the walk through to solve the axe lock. The flipped picture didn't tell the sequence of arrows.
