Great Escapes 4+

I don’t typically review games but I love this company’s output. This particular one is basically a sampler of their other games—many of the rooms are lifted from their other games, but the puzzles have been changed and shortened. They’re just long enough to get your brain moving, but short enough to be completed in 15 minutes.

If you’ve never played anything from Glitch, I’d actually suggest playing the first room or two of this, and then if you like it switch to their full size games. Their games are spooky and quirky and have cute running gags—experiencing those in full and coming back here to play the “remixed” versions feels like the best way to do it.

I hope they release more level packs soon!

I love all the Glitch games I’ve played so far. Absolutely love this variety pack game because you get your Glitch fix without committing to a long term game. I’m only gearing up to play Veritas lol after completing Forever Lost I was so pleased to find this variety pack game. There are a few that are pretty easy, but I’ve gotten so used to the layout and gameplay with Glitch games that I can breeze through the easy ones in 10-15 min. The hard ones are challenging enough and I was surprised to see how complex the bunker one is. Haven’t finished that one yet. I love all the Easter eggs and the connections with the other games. The jokes are also very funny and sarcastic which I love. I’m on the third pack and just finished the toy room one. That was definitely a fave. Very fun. I would have given 5 stars, but for some reason all my progress is lost. All the way up till the temple one, the games would say “complete” and then stopped saving my progress. I opened the app this morning and none of the games say “complete”. Not that I’ve lost anything, but it was nice to see my progress. I hope the developer sees this. Anyways, thanks Glitch Games! Please keep making more games. I’m trying to not speed through all of them so that I’m not waiting around for the next one lol.

I enjoy puzzle games but there are few of quality out there. This was definitely one of them. I did have two problems that bothered me. The first isn’t really an actual problem with the game but they say you can buy packs 3 and 4 in the description but I can’t figure out how to buy them in the game. I only see pack 2 which I already bought!

SPOILER: The real problem I had in the game was in the temple. I was solving the pyramid and thought since the sides were upside down you had to think of them as upside down instead of reordering the rows. I finally had to resort to the clues to figure out the south side because I kept using 3-4 instead of 2-6. Very frustrating.
