Escape Lighthouse.114

The hint system in every one of your games, is abysmal. They shouldn’t count as hints, they only tell you things that you already know. I hate using hints, and I’m very frustrated when I have to use them. It pisses me off when the hints are as pointless as they possibly can be.

One of the more enjoyable puzzle solving games out there. The puzzles were sufficiently challenging for the most part. Several that I needed hints for. One was just simply playing Tetris, which I found to be a little cheesy. Better than most of the independent puzzlers, but not on the same caliber as Rusty Lake, Forgotten Hill, or DaVinci. Still worth playing though!

It was sometimes hard to see the relation between the clues and the puzzles. That may partly be because the game is not linear. There are a few minor bugs: sometimes exiting an area acts like you tapped twice, and some controls don’t take the taps well. But overall, it was enjoyable and kept me entertained for hours.

I get irked when there’s a puzzle and I don’t know what the point of it is, so I just deleted the game. A simple explanation of what is supposed to be accomplished would be helpful. Pet peeves…

Puzzle difficulty was right in the sweet spot of solvable but not easy or too frustrating

This is one of the most ridiculously nonsensical games I have ever played. It doesn’t make any sense at all and the puzzles are way too confusing. But it could also be interpreted that the developer is so creative that he was able to make a game that is so unfathomable, that it’s actually pretty genius… ??????????????

I dislike a bad review because someone didn’t understand how to play. This game was very immersive which was exactly how I like them. If one put the pieces together it wasn’t necessary to use the hint system at all. And what a glorious challenge! Such satisfaction in reaching the solutions as they were evident but not obvious! Great job!

This game was so much fun. Interesting, challenging but not impossible. Can’t wait for more from this developer!

fun game, clever puzzles, interesting art design, and you rarely “clear” an area completely, which i love because it makes the puzzles and world feel more interconnected and less linear. that said, there are some glitchy elements that keep this review from getting five stars: some of the black screens between areas last a weirdly long time, which can be extra annoying when you have to jump between multiple locations; occasionally, pressing the back arrow moves you two or three times, which means more long black screens to get back to where you left off. i had a hard time with some of the “arcade-style” puzzles (thinking specifically of the one where you have to time your taps to the yellow lights – no matter what i did, i couldn’t get the fourth one, and i actually started to think i misunderstood the puzzle), but the skip option is easily accessible, which was nice. for most of the puzzles, if you’re struggling, playing around to see how the pieces might move and what you can interact with is a big help, and i liked that the game doesn’t hold the player’s hand

Great graphics, story and puzzles. However, morse code from second balloon doesn’t match answer. Difficult to figure out where/what to do next after solving some puzzles. Love the built in clues and skips (not doing 5 trial/error in a row) though!
