statik
Traverse through a surreal transforming moving train where nothing is as it seems in the escape game Statik.
That being said, when a game starts out with the author KNOWING it's a "pixel hunt", it requires a little more thought from the author! I generally hate pixel hunts, and leave at the first sign. This one did hold my attention long enough to keep going, however.
Not bad. Graphics were cool, sound was eerie, theme was nicely surreal. But... I can't get excited by games where I have to roam around with the cursor in the dark the find things. Since the cursor doesn't change when you hold an object, finding things that needed objects used on them was just an exercise in tedium. This game could have been great, but required too much brute-force hunting with the cursor. "A" for design and executioon, "C" for interaction. "B" overall.
Tried 3 browsers so far: IE8 does not work at all. FF5 and Opera 11.50 are working fine. There is some serious bug however, when you're working the switchbox. Stapler gets stuck or wire cannot be moved. Rather fustrating. Nice graphics and sound. Too short for an escape game. I'd give it a five out of ten.
If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.

Got it; nice game!
uhm, can't do much, then it gets dark?
to get you started:
SPOILER

oh ok :-) thanks, I feel this is going to be a nice one
alrighty, used the second key!
Geeeeeze!!!After 5min of clicking, realized the game did not work at all w IE9.
Use FF if your cursor never changes.
I'm playing this is in IE without a problem. Almost out I think, but got to run now...
Good game - short.
I used to not like escapes, now I'm playing all I can. As long as there's no timer though.
where does the second key go?
SPOILER
Second key goes in the pink circle you find in the fishy scene.

I liked it. Very odd and quirky.
