Player Comments on Trapped!

better than homework

There were not enough details to make the story fun. There were far too many grammar mistakes that took you out of the story.

Considering this game is under Mystery/Puzzle, I'm afraid it's extremely lacking in the puzzle department. The note tells you where to find the key, you literally just have to look at the wall to find the green door, and the closest this game comes to an actual puzzle is making the player guess which coloured key opens the blue door. (Spoilers: It's the blue key. Who'd have thought?)

Also, the game never explains why you're in the room, or how you got in the room. You just kind of escape and that's the end.

I do like Escape the Room games, but this game needs a few more areas to explore and a lot more puzzles before it'd actually be enjoyable.

I got so confused, O_o but overall, nice game

Short and linear but a good experiment.

Not the best but fun

very easy, but I guess it's not too bad for a first attempt.

After 2 replays and trying different 'paths'... Screw it, the adventure is extremely linear. With every single option ushering you to 'fk off' the room as soon as possible. Descriptions are worthless, the point where you actually get to make a good decision- the keys, you get denied of other options but the blue one just like an bad GM telling you what to do each time. This isn't even worthy of making into a actual Flash game, it's just TOO short.
I recommend giving the players more freedom of movement, rather then just pointing the obvious solution, it helps with the length and the general difficulty overall, no one wants to play a adventure that ends in 5 seconds.
3/10

Effort please

Not bad for a first game, but I'd have allowed more options

ok so the game wasn't bad but it needed some expanding. nice story tho

This was simple, yet enjoyable.

Good for a first game. I was a it confused when going into the next room it just says "You're here again." But okay game and could use some expanding.

why can't you use the other keys

Pretty good

Well I got out of the door and the story so I guess it had a happy ending? The problem with this is that there is no way to fail, if you just clicked randomly enough times you would win, a few dangers (the room starts filling with water, there's snakes in the closet etc) would make it more dramatic. S

This is crap. This is not a storygame as there is actually only one path you can choose. Descriptions are rubbish and they doesn't seem to be any point. At least make the game some sort of challenge.

So, I am not allowed to see what's in the red door. Okay, let's try the yell- nope, looks like my ONLY choice is the blue key.

Moments like this make you realise you only pretend to have options, when this whole thing is utterly RIGGED.

Perfectly fine for a storygame based on those point-and-click escape games. However, there were a few common grammatical mistakes and it was quite short. I wanted to take one of the other keys, but it seemingly all lead to the ending. And also, there is the problem with the bed. What is the bed for? Is it only for emphasizing the strangeness of how you got to the area in the first place? Overall okay, but in the future, you should watch out for those mistakes.

Way too linear, if it's going to be one of those games where only one path will lead to victory, you'll need a lot more options. Read the walmart game.

somewhat good, actually, if the story is a tad bit long.

Actually alright but a bit too short

This was a puzzle game? Way too easy, man.

Way too short and really easy but good for a first try

needs more detail, maybe figuring out another way to do this game, and it will be better, and possibly inspire more of these.

Interesting... But rather short

everything was too obvious

Interesting but quick.

Not bad for a first game. Would've been nice if it was a bit trickier.

Ah;the actual TEXT would be a 3(not 5!) but the NOVELTY got you a 5.

Ye, I'm free from the dumbass room!

I liked the names of the keys.

But it was a little too easy.

But I suppose I would have known that if I payed attention to the rating you gave it. I should stop complaining.

Ummm.....

Well, this game sucks.

Not bad really

fun, i dont know how, but fun

wow... ima stick to more complicated ones

Hm, I found it being average quality. There is some hints of strong effort put into the game but, the game is extremely short and simple, it isn't that challenging something you should work if you attempt to write a similar storygame. 4/8

Good idea, but doesn't work at all in this format, without the aid of the advance editor. I have to agree with 3j, get to know the advance editor before making another game like this.

However, I won't take it too hard on ya', being your first story game.

I am a fan of the point-and-click escape style flash games. Unfortunately, they do not work very well in a storygame. In the games, you have to click around and find things for yourself, while here, you have no choice but to tell us where to look, destroying the purpose. The writing was decent, but overall it wasn't a very good story. 4/8

The mood of the storygame was great but you ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY TREMENDOUSLY need to learn the Advanced Editor. You can use items and variables to create a "proper" escape the room game. Check out the articles on the AE in the Help/Info section.
