Nice game! Pretty cool puzzles, especially given the time constraints! The one before the corn maze was the trickiest for me.
I've never done a puzzle game. I don't feel that I'll come up with enough nice puzzles in time, but this inspires me to give it a shot sometime. At the very least, it would be a fun experience for me! Thanks! :)
You delivered where it mattered! The puzzles were at the perfect difficulty for a jam game and each one had character and inventiveness. The bag toss knocking out the pumpkin teeth was a stand out. Great work!
I LOVE ESCAPE ROOMS SO MUCH. I was so excited to escape. The puzzles were well-designed, had a nice difficulty curve, and had satisfying resolutions (and a couple "aha!" moments - those are the holy grail of escape rooms!). I did utter a swear at one point when I realized I had to (SPOILERS!!!!) go back through the corn maze, lol. Great work, this is so impressive for a compo game. I wish there were more puzzle game entries in LD, they're my favorite.
It's not easy to pull off a puzzle game in 48 hours. Kudos to you!
Nice minimalistic graphics. Clear logic puzzles. It's fun to play!
A lot of fun, enjoyed playing this one. I ran out of energy in the corn maze though and got frustrated with being lost.
Puzzles were fun. The graphics are nice and clear so as not to be ambiguous. Fun game.
Ahh I knew I'd have to go back through that maze! Great puzzle designs, had fun escaping!
Was very fun to play, nice work!
Cool game. Nice progression on the puzzle complexity, though it was very difficult to find the sunflowers unless you were standing in the right spot. Also, some of the tooltips were hard/impossible to see against a bright background (kept trying to click the hint button in the sunflower room, because I couldn't see the "press H for hint" text). Decent graphics, nice puzzles (and all within theme). Well done.
Fun little escape room game! The puzzles felt like something I could definitely see popping up in an escape room. Well done putting so many great puzzles together in such a short time frame. The art was perfect, simple and conveyed the idea behind each puzzle. Overall great job, I had a lot of fun escaping.
Congratulations! You escaped! ... to a room with no doors and no escape :laughing:
That was a fun challenge, thanks for this awesome submission.
Nice puzzles, I loved the room with three in it (not going to spoil them here). I had some performance troubles playing in full screen but I assume that is only in the browser. Downloading and running the source code will probably be better.
I believe this is my first escape room in LD :thinking:
Considering you did it all yourself, the overall package is very well done and the visuals are impressive. I'd have hoped for more audio (even just some simple sounds & music) but 48 hours solo is rough so I get it. Well done on the entry!
Perfectly balanced puzzles! Perfect length. Graphics are good. I'm only missing some music which would have enhanced the mood. This was one of my favorites I've played so far!
I'm glad that even though there weren't a lot of sounds, there was a little jingle when the puzzle was completed. A great cue to know the door opened (sometimes behind me) and I found myself really getting excited when I heard it. A very fun little game to work through.
I don't usually like puzzle games, but this one was actually pretty fun, the hint system was a nice touch that kept me from getting bored and giving up
Great game! The puzzles were well done, and I really enjoyed the themeing!
My only complaint is that the mouse sensitivity was a bit too high for my tastes. Since there's going to be a lot of different gamers playing my first person games, I always allow players to adjust mouse sensitivity with the scroll wheel - that way, they're not stuck mucking about through menus when they should be playing the game. Perhaps that could be something you add to add to your games as well?
A classic escape room. Small classic puzzles. Very solid clean complete implementation. Controls too me felt a bit too "narrow" (having to be very close to be able to interact).
Great game for such a short time. Good puzzles, challenging enough. Really good job!
Very cool escape room! Enjoyed playing through it, and the puzzle progression was very nice. I did encounter one really minor issue where the "puzzle solve" music kept playing repeatedly while I was standing in the room where you throw a ball at the teeth (didn't matter to my experience at all, just thought you might like to know :smile:)
Wow Dude! That totally captured the feeling of an escape room! Maybe you have some experience IRL? Those were pretty amazing puzzles for an LD game.
I had heard about escape rooms from friends before, but I never knew where to find one. One day, while scrolling through social media, I came across an ad for a website that offered escape room experiences. I clicked [on the website](https://questroom.com/) and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of rooms they had available. From horror-themed rooms to sci-fi adventures, there was something for everyone.
