escape the toy factory
Have you got what it takes to escape the toy factory? Just remember to feed the boiler to keep the factory going!
I have to say this is a very innovative concept in an escape game: the game isn't that hard as a puzzle, but the challenge is increased by having to maintain the boiler. Eventually you run out of coal, too. Congratulations to the designer! This is a better way to challenge players than with pixel-hunting, keeping track of clicks, or a ticking time-bomb.
I agree with Anonymous.. Very innovative way of integrating a time constraint into an otherwise way too easy point and click game. And it goes well with the storyline too =) Nice find, Bart =)
FIRST!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor the first time, but FIRST!!!!
interresting, but much too easy...
ReplyDeleteI did it in 2min58 ^^
Terrible, my boiler filled the room with smoke and the mad scientist made a doll out of me ... !! I'm gonna have nightmares tonight.

ReplyDeletecool game.
ReplyDeleteLook at the dolls... hands up and down... and the levers you are able to put up or down.
If the steam starts... you have a tool to fix it to give you time.

ReplyDeleteawesome short game :)
ReplyDeleteThis one was fun and short. Thanks for the tips, Kate.
ReplyDeleteReally nice game... A little bit short, but an interesting experience...
ReplyDeleteThat was scary! I didn't like it. Also, I kept messing up so I had to start over again many times. It was frustrating.
