A Simple Mistake 12+

Very short for a paid game. I get that we all have bills to pay but I've had much better value for the same price from other developers. I might have given an extra star if the puzzles were more satisfying (the last one was particularly disappointing) and if the gameplay felt more interactive (everything is very static, the buttons don't move when you press them). That said, I think this developer has the potential to grow into something much better.

Hi there, thanks for playing my game and giving an honest review. It's a shame only to receive 2 stars, but I'd like to think trying my newer games things have improved. Sadly the price has to be fairly high as the development costs outweighs any income, the niche is quite small, but I adore the genre. Thanks again for the feedback!

The game is far too short for the price and it could be improved in so many ways. Each area you enter only has one puzzle to solve giving you a key to the next area. A bit repetitive. This breaks the feeling of exploration.

The save system needs to be refined so you don’t have to repeat your steps if you don’t complete that particular area.

Telephone puzzle is just ridiculous and I would be surprised if anyone solved that without a walk-through.

Then a totally abrupt ending.

The games by this developer have the potential to be so so good as the graphics are there and so is the atmosphere, but the actual content of puzzles and storyline are lacking.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. It's refreshing to read!

A Simple Mistake was one of my earlier games so I fully accept the shortfalls in the areas you mentioned. Although the game I feel still offers a fun challenge to people that want to solve puzzles and go on an adventure.

The save system is totally fixed in newer games for example. But sadly I haven't managed to retrofit it as the code behind the scenes is totally different and adds more bugs than it fixes.

According to reviews the telephone puzzle was quite easy and the whole game could be solved within 3-20mins - I assume these people were either exaggerating or using a guide. So it is nice to hear someone actually stuck on one of my puzzles, else I could have continued to created some rather obscure things in the future!

It's nice to hear the graphics and atmosphere are up to scratch. Might I recommend you try one of my newer titles where hopefully you'd see a lot of the improvements you have mentioned.

Thanks for playing!

Reasonable game but however many times I tried the key would not appear from the keypad in the dining room, I even copied frame by frame from a cheat/help source and nothing,

Hi there, if you reach out over email I can help out getting you past this tricky puzzle!
