Defuse

I died but that was fun

This is a puzzle game that gives readers good variety and is also quite challenging. They made me want to keep trying and were interesting. Good job on the puzzles.

I know you mentioned you didn’t really mean it to be a story, but this is a choose-your-story site after all, so you could maybe put a little backstory on how you ended up in the room, or maybe finding out who locked you in the room.

This was a good puzzle game. I will give it a 4/8.

Readers have to solve this puzzle game consisting of three puzzles, or they get exploded by a bomb!

I liked all the arrangement of the text and descriptions of the situation. Although not a story-based game, you still tried your best to add literary elements to it. Using colored text and division lines was also very clever. It attracted my attention to where it was needed.

The poem was a nice touch, except that it didn’t help solve the maze! The first part of the instructions worked, but the rest didn’t and the puzzle ended up not making any sense. I had to guess my way through it. The keypad module was also hard to understand. In the first page, there was no image, and overall the instructions weren’t clear enough to make the reader know what the puzzle actually was. The only puzzle that worked was the wire module, which I had fun doing.

I gave this a 3/8 because of the first two modules, but I would easily have given this a 6 if all the puzzles worked!

c. cool

nice

I am guessing the idea came from hit game "Keep talking and nobody explodes"

Good puzzle, but a bit tedious at times. A tip would be to even out the time spent on each of the 3 modules. The maze takes about a minute if you play perfectly, but the other two add up to about 15 seconds total. Also, I found the maze a bit too long and annoying. I also would have liked more than ONE puzzle for the wire module, especially with the long list of instructions you had at the start.

Anyway, I had fun with it. 4/8.

Not sure if it was my sloppiness, but following the maze's directional hints in sequence didn't yield the correct results. In any case, a lot of the puzzles are a bit simplistic with a written down guide, but are otherwise fun little memory games. Just wish there were more actual puzzles and logic games to round things out. Neat work otherwise.

I actually really enjoyed this story since it was definitely very well written and was detailed to the point where I had a clear picture of everything something that's important in puzzle games. Speaking of puzzles the puzzles in this game were pretty well done in terms of difficulty though they weren't that hard for me (Too many professor layton games xD) but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! Now like the author said this story doesn't have much of a plot which is a bummer. However, I was interested at the end who was the person that trapped me with the bomb but it looks like thats getting saved for the sequel. Overall a solid first storygame and I'm definitely looking forward to what the author makes next.

That was really stressful, but fun
