Space Escape Review
By snowyowl on 28 March 2009


Pros: -Intriguing gameplay -Original puzzles -Nice sounds

Cons: -Graphics :-( -Some movement bugs

Worth the detour. 3/4

Graphics: Sorry, I can't give you full on this one. The main character looks like little effort was spent on him, the finish looks even worse, and you can see the pixels in the background. This does not negatively impact the gameplay though, so I give 2/4.
Sound: Taken from Runescape, but so what? It's good enough for me. The jumping sound effect can get a little annoying (especially as there are apparently only 2 sounds in the game), but sound is not the most important thing in this kind of game. 4/4
Story: Well, you have tried to be more original that "you are stuck in a base and you must escape), but there could stil be some work done on the story. It seems a bit superficial, and does not explain why all these confusing and physics-defying puzzles are in your way. But original, nonetheless.3/4
Interface: Serious points lost here. The plaform physics are imperfect, which is particularly annoying in the levels where your character is invisible. The pushable blocks are confusing, but you specifically isolated them in the "incomplete levels section, so that's okay. And I don't like the cursor; having it look the same as some of the objects in the game was confusing and annoying. 1/4
Gameplay: I saved the best until last. The game really comes into its prime here, in the most important category. The idea has been done before, but the puzzles here are totally original; I had fun solving them. Well done. 4/4

Overall: Excellent gameplay, and I have to say this game shows a lot of potential. But it lacked polish, which sort of ruined several levels. I think that more people should play this game, but so long as they don't expect it to be the next Karoshi.
3/4
