Spotlight X: Room Escape

I’ve been enjoying this game up through chapter 2, level 7. Unfortunately, there is a grid puzzle where you need to match lights to numbers, and I honestly don’t know if I’m failing the puzzle or if my game is bugged. I’ve seen these types of puzzles in other games, and normally the lights correspond to the number grid, and you can use process of elimination to figure out which ones are right and which ones need to be changed. In this one, numbers that were “right” abruptly become wrong again. The numbers of lights change (all before I’ve used up my allotted 10 tries before the reset.) Unless I guess it all on the first try, there doesn’t seem to be a way to solve it. I’ve watched the exhausting number of ads to get the hints. I’ve tried looking up walk throughs online. Nothing works, and the puzzle resets to a new random solution after 10 tries. Frustrated that there doesn’t seem to be a way past this.

This is truly for the die hard puzzle fan. I have multiple compliments and only two complaints. First, love the concept, complexity, creepy theme and entire series. Graphics have really improved over the years! My biggest complaint is that I want a button that prevents you from accidentally going back during a complex puzzle…too many times I have had to walk away ( like answer a phone call) and my screen saver pops on and when I go to return to the game I now have to start the entire frustrating puzzle all over again because there was no way to save progress while you momentarily stepped away from the screen…in Some of the longer, multi step puzzles I have actually stopped playing the game for a week or so because I got so aggravated to have come so far and then had to start all over with an accidental hit of the back button or a screen time out! Beyond that I absolutely love these games and await the next chapter! The other complaint is really minor…different creepy music….I think the point may be to give you strange vibe with the music….but it becalmed a bit over the top after about three minutes! Some of the puzzles border on obscure and I have to admit I need some serious explanations and help now and then, but that is what keeps me coming back!

This developer has always done an amazing job on creating these games, coming up with new and interesting puzzles, love it! Couple little things: 1: The introduction and use of Easter egg achievements is wonderful and such fun! 2: The soundtrack is lovely, for about two rooms, and then it gets repetitive. I think it would be great to put one or two more background tracks to alternate between. 3: I had no idea you could pick up the glass on the "Shadows" level, I had to look up cheats for that, and before I did that I tried to use the key to slice the tape and open the box, which I think makes sense. So perhaps let the box be opened in that way as well, to avoid people wasting their hints on a difficult to see object? Or automatically add the shard to the inventory when the window is smashed, either would work.
