Player Comments on Help Tom Escape!
I really have to say that this game was something that I couldn’t brace myself for being what it turned out being. I say that, because more often than not, I like to go about most things 'blind' in a sense. I don't want my experience to be soured or even manipulated/influenced in some way.
Although this is considered only a 'demo' of sorts by the creator themselves, and it does show in some areas. I still do feel that I have to tip my hat off for the creativity that is displayed. Clicking pictures to complete a game that is on this site? That was certainly a bit of a unique experience. A lack of story of any sort does kinda ruin things, and more story elements would have certainly bolstered what is here.
Now perhaps I'm probably being a tad too complementary, but I should mention that ending a game in the fashion that the writer decided to end it, is something that I don't think is the best suited for this kind of experience. It's good that there aren't any links that lead to nowhere, and it would have been fine to me if there were more alternative ways for a conclusion, but there simply isn’t.
What's here is something that is straightforward, but I don't believe it's something that is good for any repeat playthroughs. There isn't any branching paths or storylines, but something to topple over once, and that's about it.
Still, I have experienced worse, and this game is nowhere near a list for terrible games that I've ever had the misfortune of playing. So for that, I do give this game a kudos.

This is really just a demo of a playstyle the author was fiddling with. There's no story or actual puzzle here and the demo is unwinnable to boot. 1/8, but that shouldn't surprise the author as this isn't really a story.

This is just bad. Creative, but bad.

I really hate stories with no way to win. Seriously, they suck. This was slightly enjoyable though, so I’ll give it a 3.

I had a hard time figuring out how to escape. Is there any way out and if there is I think it may have been a little too hard. Very forward thinking game though.

Chose this because my name is Tom. Deeply hurt and offended. Still loved it. 10/10

Fun, typos, pretty straight forward, won't be updated. Very nice work on the map though.

It was innovative. But it was not good. I want to give it points for doing something new, though. But I didn't enjoy it, even for a moment. The little story there was wasn't particularly compelling.

The way you did the map was really cool. I am thoroughly impressed with the gameplay mechanic. Granted, there wasn't much story, but this was different, so good job.

The graphics are impressive, but unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a way for the player to win. Interestingly enough, you can choose not to get the jewel, but I found that it doesn't actually make a difference. You still go through the entire maze only to die in the flames. Maybe there is a way out, but I couldn't find it. (Was it missed out?)
The room descriptions were very lacking, there's practically only one puzzle, and it could really be improved especially in terms of endings. Nevertheless, it's different from other storygames and caught my eye for that reason. A good effort overall.

The map thing was cool, but the story was lacking. Wish there was a way to win

Not sure if this was a demo like it stated, but after reading it was a demo and wont be updated I thought, great another unfinished game. There were also spelling errors which didn't help me like the story and quite a few times where I didn't know what this was all about, however, the little map made it much more interesting and more interactive so thank you for that. Very short I gave it a 3/8

It's actually quite good. I thought from the description that this was going to be a waste of time, but a decent short game followed.

How do you reach the exit? I died trying to pass the barrier, but still good-ish.

Wow! The mapping was awesome! The plot actually wasn't bad considering the description (I was expecting just to point and click with no descriptions). I can't wait to see what you do with this in your next story

Portals...Anybody else think of the game. But this was really cool! I've never seen a map that's clickable. But why is thirteen unlucky? I always found it my favorite number. :P

This is not a bad game. How the heck was the map thing even done? I have to give credit for the extreme advanced quality of this game. The only problem is, I don't know how to beat it. I die at the end.
All in all, it's one of the more worth-playing games on this site, considering the numerous crappy ones that are not deleted. But maybe there should be some clue of how to beat it? The only item I could find was the key. Other than that, the grammar and writing was good enough. 6/8.

Woah! You can do this in the advanced scripting! I'm impressed. With an actual plot this can be configured too make a fantastic puzzle game.
