Escape Time: Puzzle Brain Game

So this game is fun, I enjoyed it for a while but then it’s just became kind of boring. I’m on level 140 and none of the puzzles have been particularly difficult which is nice but the logic behind unlocking the puzzle just kind of stopped. For 20 levels in row now the puzzle is right in front of you, what happened to the earlier levels where you need to move stuff around the room to find the puzzle? I enjoyed that part of it but eventually it gets phased out your left with just doing small puzzles. I also noticed after some time the puzzles actually get easier? Somewhere around level 110 you play a liquid mixing game when you pour liquid from one test tube to another, there was probably 8 colors to solve for which was rather difficult. Around level 130 you see the same puzzle but now you only have 5? It took me probably 30 seconds to solve that one but lost several lives on the one with 8 test tubes. I feel like after a point the developers either got lazy or stopped caring because each level becomes kind of boring and very repetitive. Does the Time Machine ever come back? After the third or fourth time of teleporting your just in the future for the rest of the game? I’ve been in the future for 70+ levels now and haven’t collected a single gear. Hopefully the devs update soon.

Ok - the first few levels were fun, had to pay attention, but not too hard to figure out. Then I got to the level with the leg sticking out of the knothole in the barrel, the shoe brush and the dirty boot. I brushed the dirty boot, as I would clean it before putting it on in real life. Nope, lost a life. Then I put the boot on the foot first - nope lost another life. Then I took the cloth covering the window, cleaned the boot. Yay, no life lost. Then I tried to put the boot on the foot - lost another life. Tried polishing the boot with the brush, then putting it on the foot - yup, got through. So I lost THREE lives for doing things in the “wrong” order, when there was no indication of, or logical reason for, the “right” order. Next level, a cobra in a container - same thing. I thought maybe I needed to move the container, nope, lost a life. I tried to open the trunk just behind the cobra, cobra “bit” me, life lost. Now I am out of lives because I chose the “wrong” order to try things in. I am out of lives in the space of only TWO levels! Oh, and in a level just before the “boot level”, I made the mistake of hitting what I thought was a hint button, and it gave me the answer!! I didn’t want the stupid answer, I wanted a freaking HINT! I will give this game one more try, but if this nonsense keeps up, I will delete…very disappointed…

I have never written a game review, but I absolutely love this game. I just finished the last level and look forward to some new levels. This game is perfect for taking a break and clearing your mind. The games are quick and you can play just one or as many as you want. The games are pretty easy which gives you a tiny sense of accomplishment. I get frustrated if the games are too hard and you get stuck on a level. I only want to play for fun. This game is very satisfying.
