Escape Game: Bali

Update from my previous review. It has been a while since I have played and a lot more activity was added and all the bugs were fixed. I have to say this is my favorite of the creators! I was very impressed with the challenge and mechanics. I’m proud of them for trying something new, yes the initial launch was rocky but I knew they would come through and they did!! I hope they make another one like this. I’m always checking back for new stuff! I have yet to find a creator like this one. All the games are so enjoyable and thought out! Super glitchy and I can’t even get to the first puzzle with out it freezing and making my phone go crazy and heat up. I’ll wait till it’s ready. I am super excited for this!! I am always waiting for your games to come out!

Almost a year later, I decided to get through this game no matter what. The object-merge mechanism, which was new here, is better implemented in later games. Even with the enlarged active area, it’s persnickety on a phone, to the point that I still end up getting hints to affirm that what I’m trying should work. As always, there’s a lot of game: 3 initial levels and a large bonus level. This means there’s way too much opportunity for lighting candles, moving ice, and making coffee to feel repetitive. It’s also the third hotel game in a row, with minimal Bali flavor. Again, later games do it better. Is it worth playing? Yeah, probably.

This Bali one by Jammsworks was Ok. It’s a different style than several of their previous newer games (from the last few years). I feel like it’s more finding where all of these little items that are lying around fit with each other, than finding many different items and clues themselves, which I find more fun. My favorite Jammsworks games so far have been Santorini, Kyoto, Venice, Hanoi, and Ocean Front, though this one, Bali, was a fun change from the style of the previous ones. I’ll definitely play whatever game they make next, as Jammsworks has become my favorite escape game creators. The thought that they put into all of the clues and puzzles, and the great graphics which appear more 3D than other games, I really love and appreciate. I also love the calm and cute look of the characters and scenes, which I don’t find in most other escape games I’ve played. Thanks for making the best escape games, Jammsworks!<3
