"Awesome game"

submission: Foreign Creature

date: March 26, 2009

Zeebarf's game is quite possibly my all time favourite game on this site... and this was pretty much equal to it so that's no faint praise.

Graphics were good, some nice logic (although a little random at times... but that added to the quirkiness and humour), some of it was harder to work out what to do (like the crossroads) but that is no bad thing as you get more of a sense of achievement and equally there were parts that were easier so it had a nice ebb and flow to it not leaving you feeling cheated by being to easy or too hard that you just give up... and it had a good length something that is usually missing.

Overall Great great job.

"Same problems as all your other escape games."

submission: Girl Friend Escape

date: February 17, 2009

I've written the same things in anothe rreview and he problems are generic and persistant in all your escape games.

1: Glitches, like here once I got the crumpled paper from the vase and opened up the ring box I could neither drop the paper from my hand nor exit from the ring box. Reading the other reviews I am not alone in finding a glitch,

2: Pixel hunting to find anything. Haveing to click randomly and repetatively all over the page is tedious and mind numbing. A simple change of curser over clickables solves this.

3: I don't know if this is the case in this game because frustrations with finding no improvement from previous games, and boredom of clicking combined with the prospect of having to start again once it glitched meant that I had lost all interest in the game fairy early on. In most 123bee games the puzzles don't always make sense and don't always have clues to give you an idea what you should be doing.

Overall disappointing, mostly in not seeing any improvement and clearly you not listening to things that have been said by myself and others more than once before.

Score: 7

"Glitch"

submission: Xmas Cannon

date: February 12, 2009

Was quite enjoying it. I had no idea what was goiing on or what I was supposed to be doing but then it glitched. and I was left on the third or fourth level just being able to scroll left and right the canon would animate but no present sent out and two prresents static on the screen when I scroll , as in the presents reain in front of me no matter which way I scroll.

Score: 8

"A good example of an escape game"

submission: SSSG - Escape

date: January 10, 2009

For me this ticks all the right boxes.

For a start there are no pointless pixel hunts and puzzles are logical or have clues. These are two big failings of a lot of escape games.

The graphics are simplistic, bu that's no necessarily a bad thing and it is better drawn than a lot.

So yes there is room for improvement (length, andgraphics maybe) but this is still a lot better than the majority of escape games around.

Score: 3

"I love escape games"

submission: Kitchen Escape

date: January 6, 2009

And generally rate them higher than this but after playing a lot of 123bee escape games I usually don't even bother with them any more. I thought I'd try again but the same problems are stil there.

It inevitably ends up being a pixel hunt, clicking endlessly all over to try to find anything. There are ways round this, e.g. a change of curser over clickales works well. Maybe it's supposed to be part of the game but I for one find it very mind numbing to break my mouse tryig to click every part of every screen to find what often is a very small area to click on.

Also as has been stated before the puzzles often are a bit random, with no clues with what you are supposed to do. Anyone who remembers lucasarts will know the "try everything with everything" stage you get to but it seems to be fairly normal with these games.

On the plus side, I think they're generally well drawn (and this is no different there really, especially when compared to some out there).

Also I didn't find any glitches or bugs here which have been a problem with some of the past games.

Score: 9

"Excellent game"

submission: Condottiero

date: November 13, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed what was a well executed and original concept. It's a shame the size of the game limits its length as I'd love to have seen a secon follow up mission or more, thoughwith one mission taking up 5.3 meg that wouldn't be possible on newgrounds.

Great graphics, great gameplay. I really hope you make a sequel.

Score: 8

"Great game"

submission: Tortuga Escape

date: November 11, 2008

Enjoyed the game a lot. Great artwork, nicely intuitive puzzles. A really good example of the escape game genre.

My only criticism is the length.

Overall an 8.

"Riht clicked but still no response"

submission: Brackenwood Climber

date: October 22, 2008

Some poeple do read descriptions but I right clicked and still got nothing so there must be something else that's the problem too.

Up to date on flash but on IE6 at work so that may or may not be an issue.

Score: 6

"Good but a couple of glitches"

submission: Arcade 'NES'

date: October 19, 2008

Ah the good old days brought back. A nice little collection to amuse the nostalgics.

Just a couple of things. On duck hunt using tab makes it possibe to get full poins and never miss. And on Galaxions a couple of times my bullet went right through th middle of one of the red, yellow blue ship that fire back.

Score: 5

"Ok but not special"

submission: Lord Of War

date: October 8, 2008

The graphics were ok, the difficulty ok, everything was ok. But no more than that. There's essentially nothing unique or different here and less on offer than in other versions of tis type of game.

The only variation in the towers is speed, range and power. Having different types of towers (fire, freeze, slow, splash, air, ground etc etc) makes the game moer tactical and interesting rather than trying to just build more, more powerful towers.

But still better than some attempts at this type of game.
