Time Killer #1: Claustrophobia

Author:Sam Hulick
Genre:Fantasy
Released:1995
Review:

Escape from a death trap in this, the first of a projected series of very small puzzle-based games. No plot, but well-implemented and entertaining enough. Spend a lunch break on it.

Rating: ***

Review:

Tiny game with simple puzzles and several bugs. You're mysteriously transported into a dungeon of sorts, and the ceiling's coming down on you. The first puzzle is fairly dumb--you have to WAIT for a good 20 moves before you can make any progress--and the others are only marginally better. At the end, the author refers to this as a coding exercise, and it's probably best treated that way.

Rating: **
