Escape Game Castaway

Rediscovered this developer. Can’t wait to play the other escapes. Pretty long. Maybe too long but it’s well done so no biggie. There are a lot of hints,clues and puzzles here. I mean a lot so I like the hint/answer system. Only had to use it a couple times. Only ding is that a couple puzzles I still didn’t understand even after I had the answer. Also it would be nice to have a picture taking system like what Jun Wakabayashi does. That would help a lot with this long game. Over all I enjoyed it.

Love these games and developer. I have played most of them over the last few years. Some puzzles are easy and intuitive. Some puzzles are very challenging, but still intuitive. However, there are always a few puzzles in these games that just make no sense to me, even after getting the answer and having the logic explained to me. Maybe it is just me, but I would never be able to solve it without help. Still love these and will play them all. They are relaxing, but make me think and satisfy the problem-solving need in my brain.

Overall I really like your games and will keep playing them all! They're a different sort of challenge for more experienced players. Love that these games are challenging, but don't love having to switch to my photo app to see screenshots of important places/clues. An ad plays each time I have to do that. Some other apps have in game cameras to let us keep track of clues. I would love that!Thank you for the red arrows in the cave system! That helped navigate there whereas usually I miss entire sections of the game bc it wasn't obvious that the other cave peeled off to the right, or a particular click will get you behind the tree. Navigating is a little tricky for your games, but I'm getting better knowing that you hide spaces and things intentionally. Another suggestion, on the island with the tree/grave. The gems paintings have a mark on them in the middle - I think it's supposed to be a reflection/shiny mark - but they look like arrows pointing in certain directions. They ended up not being arrows but I was lost on the puzzle they're included in because of this misconception. Removing the reflection mark may help keep things clearer. They just look too much like arrows and don't add to the design very well. *SPOILERS AHEAD*Lastly, the license plate/hood puzzle just seems to be lacking in clarity. Even after hints it took me a bit to understand what you wanted. I'd suggest instead of one arrow under each group (letters then numbers), arrows between each letter and each number would make the desired outcome much clearer, though still a challenge. As it is, I interpreted it to mean to use the colors of 7, then 8, then 2. And then the colors of A then G then I (in reverse order bc the arrow was backwards). That only gave 6 colors so I looked for ages for 3 more letters/numbers associated with the middle diamond symbol. The arrows in other parts of your games (eg diving area boards) indicate direction just generally. Arrows in between values would make me think closer to a path I need to follow (like you wanted on the board). Some puzzle designs just communicate the goal more effectively than this one did. But again, overall loved the game. I've really enjoyed how you need 2 or 3 pieces of info before solving some puzzles! Cheers and looking forward to more games!
