Gotta say
for ur first map, it was pretty nice.
we had fun

BUT.. FOR THE ORANGE PORTAL
this mirror on the box, made me mad, bc there was no indication, no key item symbol and i was so confused. but still, was nice, the end was creative with using the rooms once again :)

Just played it, and we had a lot of fun. Great implementation of the teamwork aspect!!

Those thousands of red herrings confused me a little bit :-) Why the heck can I put on the glasses? My partner was able to see the glasses when I had them on through the walls :-)

Unfortunately, after having eventually entered the appartement, I made some unintended move, found me back in the final level (having suddenly white walls like massive overexposure) and found no way to get into the appartement again. This felt a little bit like not having really won :-(

After all: great work! Thank you for your work.

Marcus.

Fixed some bugs & glitches and also tried making the end puzzle less confusing :)

we had the door 2 key glitch happen but ran back through it and loved it all! aside from some small bugs map is all in all great would recommend for couples that don't want to hard of a brain teaser but need to work together!

ass map, doorkey 2 bugged out and went to the wrong player -rep :steamfacepalm:

Hot garbage, so much time wasted on items that were marked with a "Book" when the reality is they're just recycled assets that the developer did not bother to remove the Book tags on unnecessary items.

Meg had mentioned this earlier, but our play through was thwarted when our red player got stuck in the Door after entering the 4 digit code. She said the door opened into her and she was just stuck from there after. It was fun for what we finished.

Game was fun last puzzle was impossible the logic didn't make sense for me and my buddy, I even looked at this thread got the "solution" 1029 im guessing but its only 3 digits on the thing?

A really fancy one! Especially the last phase of this game is brilliant ! But I somehow encountered some bugs as blue in the second room where I place the telephone to the right side of the cupboard and it just vanished itself. Of course, don't mind it since its just a small bug. Really looking forward to your creations later!(if possible)

@Astronomiqon No worries! It was a good first map! I've seen other rooms make colorblindness more accessible by adding like letters/symbols/things on each color to make it easier to differentiate the balls (and even have a button to turn on/off the colorblindness help). Having the walkthough or hints guide always help if people get stuck.

Hiii, i found a bug, which i recorded on video if you want to see it?
Astronomiqon  [author] 11 Jan, 2023 @ 3:56pm 
Thanks for the awards <3

@Alfdinox @Moss Spooky

Sorry to hear that guys! I've looked and tested and it should work, it seems like you got a random bug that I don't know how to fix since I can't recreate it.
Moss Spooky 11 Jan, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
we got stuck in room 4 as the third key never appeared! we looked at the walkthrough and everything but it just didnt appear
Alfdinox 10 Jan, 2023 @ 1:44pm 
We got stuck in the room with the statues :-( We placed all the keys but nothing happened then
Astronomiqon  [author] 9 Jan, 2023 @ 10:52am 
@-Swervin- I did this map for my friends to play, didn't think it would blow up as much as it did, and thus never thought about if it was suited for people with any degree of colorblindness. I'm sorry about that, but I don't know how I could fix this? I'm glad you made it through and liked the puzzles though!
-Swervin- 8 Jan, 2023 @ 6:46pm 
My friend and I played through it all. I can understand if this is difficult as it does involve much communication between the two players. In retrospect, the puzzles were not too bad. But personally as someone who is mildly colorblind, this was paaaaaiiiiinnnfuuuullll to go through, and made one-two puzzles take waaayyy longer than it should have. It was also hard to see some set of numbers at the final room which just made it difficult. Luckily my friend kept good support on me and we made it out.

Beware of this room for even mildly colorblind folks
Astronomiqon  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 9:53am 
@DEADBIRD Haha, everybody seems to hate it so it's nice to hear somebody liking it. Thank you!
DEADBIRD 7 Jan, 2023 @ 10:39pm 
Woah the ending of this was super clever! Props to you for that!
Astronomiqon  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 6:02pm 
@meg I'm glad to hear! :)
meg 7 Jan, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
Honestly I had fun though :) Thanks for checking.
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 8:20am 
@meg Hm, sorry to hear that! Went into the map and checked and I can't see anything that could make you get stuck. Unfortunately it seems like you were unlucky and got a random bug in the game that I don't think that I can fix.
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 8:18am 
@hymmonica Hi! The code is Green, Pink & Red. Where do you see the "10 yellow green dots"? Went into the map again and could only see the 10 green dots. I used to have two different colored dots in each room and you had to figure out witch color was the right one by counting the dots and compare them to the red players numbers but it was to confusing so I only made the dots in the right color combination instead.
meg 3 Jan, 2023 @ 4:06pm 
After opening door lock in room 4 (red player) I have glitched into the door and am stuck :( Had to quit at that point as no amount of crouching or moving could unstick me.
hymmonica 7 Dec, 2022 @ 6:33am 
Me and my friend enjoy the game but we had trouble solving the last quiz. i think it might has a error about the color. the color dots on the room were different from what you have written on the comments. the first room has 10 green dots and 10 yellow green dots. Second one has 5 pink dots and the last one has 13 red dots. and my friend and i are both not color blind.
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 2:27am 
@bum ^-^ Solution: to find the right color combination by choosing one of the colors in each doorway that has color dots. Each color have different amount of dots, and to find the correct color you must figure out what amount of dot's is the correct one. In the first one there is 10 green dots and 5 yellow dots, the correct one is green since it's 10 dots -10 is on the shirt you saw in the begining through the window and also the place you put the dart. The next one was 2 Pink dots and 3 Orange dots, the correct one is pink since it's 2 dots - if you look in the reds doorway the second number it says "take 2". The last one have 9 red dots and 4 white dots, the correct one is Red since it has 9 dots - If you look in the reds doorway the last number is 9. When you make an map it makes sence to you while you do it and it's hard to see it from "the other side", but I've listened to the feedback and made it easier to figure out now. Thanks for playing!

@Zebutan
Thanks for the feedback, I've made it easier to figure out.
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 2:24am 
@Brother Calm
Thanks for playing! I realized this after some feedback. I'm sorry about that, fixed it so it's easier to figure out for blue.
an hour 1 Dec, 2022 @ 10:27am 
last puzzle makes no sense? why is that the solution?
Zebutan 27 Nov, 2022 @ 7:43pm 
Last puzzle the worst
Brother Calm 26 Nov, 2022 @ 9:21pm 
Logic on Blue Side last puzzle is pretty rough; it made sense in hindsight but wasn't intuitive.

All the other puzzles were great though.

Last Blue puzzle felt more confusing because the colour keypad enters numbers and the post-it prompts us to count dots; we were trying to generate a numerical code instead of just enter three colours in the correct order. If the keypad output colours, or it was more clearly signalled that we were trying to determine a colour order - rather than - numbers, we'd not have got as stuck. As the second two clues were also used in the Red Side answer, and the Red side answer was standalone from Blue, it was also not intuitive to reuse those cues in solving Blue - we felt we'd been prompted to find some combination of numbers from the dots as a clue.

@Yoyó I will look into it, thanks!
Yoyó 12 Nov, 2022 @ 11:19am 
The final room blue logic is completely whack. Also, one of the dials in the long red room's code lock can come off, when it shouldn't.
Astronomiqon  [author] 11 Nov, 2022 @ 11:37am 
@Jonah Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Haha. I'm sorry about the battery! Since this was my first map, and that was the first room I worked on, I probably clicked on different things to try and learn what they did and forgot to deselect it as a key(fixed now!).

The last puzzle my friends also had problem solving, it was meant to be a bit harder to solve but since it took them a while I tried and make it easier to solve by adding that post it and adding the green dots to the shirt with the numbers 10.

I went in and fixed the merge on the jeans slot.

About the names: That's true, and I will keep that in mind in the future. Also went in and fixed this.

I feel you, and I love those things as well. I feel like I didn't work on details enough and just wanted my friends to play this map, it was supposed to be an short map but ended up spending 25+ hours on it.. But the next map I will work more on the 'feel' and details of the playthrough!

Thanks a lot!

My wife and I enjoyed the room. Thank you for putting the key logo on important items, we did end up with a battery with a key logo that we couldn't find a use for. The puzzles weren't too hard and made good use of communication. We did struggle a bit with the last puzzle when we're together, trying to follow the logic for the colour keypad.

Oh and you can also press the button behind the pillow maker 3000 if you hug the side of the cabinet. This should be easily fixed if you put an obstacle around it to stop people from getting too close.

A small thing as well to help prevent players from spending time on finished puzzles is to use the merge option on key slots such as the jeans on the laundry basket.
Sleeping Lion Tavern (FATES) 10 Nov, 2022 @ 3:47am 
Another small thing to add a bit more polish to your room is renaming certain items, all the keys had the same name despite being different colours. Nothing game breaking but a couple of things didn't have audio responses (something I'm personally fond of) such as the keyboard pieces which was a great implentation and would have been perfect if it had an audio response.

Loved the use of the animal heads as the lower jaw for the jackal statues as well as your painted fence. Good luck with your future rooms!
Astronomiqon  [author] 7 Nov, 2022 @ 9:04am 
@Bugsa Glad to hear! :) Did you manage to figure everything out? It’s hard to determine what is too easy and what’s too hard to figure out. I especially noticed this when I let my friends try it. Any feedback is appreciated and will be carried with me to my future map making!
Bugsa 7 Nov, 2022 @ 8:50am 
@Astronomiqon It's OK now. Very nice and fun room! Thank you! :)
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 2:10pm 
@Kat @Bugsa

Thanks for letting me know. Forgot to put it back when bugtesting. It's fixed now!
Kat 6 Nov, 2022 @ 1:33pm 
My friend and i just tried this and I think we spawned in the final area with the skulls.
Bugsa 6 Nov, 2022 @ 12:55pm 
When playing in two people we are starting at "final room" section of walkthrought. Is it a bug or intended?
Astronomiqon  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 6:09am 
@Rabbit Lord

Thank you for your note!

I played the map with two friends and noticed the problem with the power lever, and also some other things that I will try and fix.

Also noted that some parts were maybe too hard to figure out, so I will try and adjust those parts as well.
Rabbit Lord 3 Nov, 2022 @ 5:13pm 
power lever for the computer dosent seem to do anything
