Leave a Review Words Story
Falsely Advertised But Mildly Entertaining
This game has many, MANY, ads for it, as I’m sure why most of you are here. These ads do not show the real game. This game would probably be WAY more fun if it was high action and you had to escape like that, but that is not the case. You just slowly and tediously dig away at a wall forever. I presume this is the case because making the already poor quality animations was too much work for them. And 7/10 times when you solve a puzzle it doesn’t even help your guy. It just gets through the day without any new animation. If you do like word games, this game is still fun, but not as fun as the concept the ads show. I’d also like to bet that you can’t even get to the ocean, because the day says “???” But that’s just an educated guess.Show lessSaraBLQ
So Many Unfortunate Things
This game made me sick. How you ask? Well first, you have the false advertising, like pretty much all real reviews say. This game is completely different, and it’s way too repetitive. There are also ads overwhelming you, preventing you from having a good experience and actually trying to play (even though there’s not much of a point playing anyway). But you know what’s the most sad thing about this game? The fake reviews. This game has so many fake, paid people writing a “five star” rating. There are so many fake reviews that it’s gone to 5 star. I’ve seen a few reviews saying about false advertising, but the developers just say that they’re developing the game, which is a really bad reason. I really hope that this game changes in the future, it’s really not great.Show lessHcvmxgmcgm
How does this game have such a high rating???
So, I was intrigued by the ad for the game, probably like most of you. I see in the ad different scenarios to escape from different areas and the words you figure out are supposed to help the guy try to escape and you get to see a funny little animation of if it goes right or if it goes wrong. That was interesting and worth playing. I download the game and I’m figuring out words that have nothing to do with anything. There’s no clue to a word, so you’re figuring it out from the air. For many levels, the guy is still digging out a hole in the wall. And his “progress” is very slow. I’ve read other reviews that say he’ll still be digging for many, many levels. So, when do we get to actually helping him escape or see the funny animations? I get that that might take some time to get to, but don’t show me an ad where you’re showing the last bit of progress when it’s going to take me 50+ levels to actually get me there. Show me the slow gameplay, so I actually know what I’m getting into. I can see the fun in the game, but watching ads and making little progress over time just isn’t for me.Show lessReedear
Pretty boring
First off: The ads for this game are absolutely false. You aren’t trying to solve the word puzzle and if you get it wrong the guard catches you. You’re simply solving word puzzles. The entire game is basically every few words you solve a day goes by. Sometimes when you solve a word a simple screen play appears. Usually in the screenplay you’re either given a new tool, you’re dumping dirt outside, or your playing with this random bird. I did see a cop one time, which you bribe with a bottle of wine. But that was it, and it doesn’t seem to have been related to anything. And nothing really happens after that. The hole never changes size and there’s no way to win the game. You just keep solving words with no end in sight.
This game is absolutely pointless and is just a way to waste time. So if that’s what you’re looking for I’d recommend it, but that’s not what I look for in a game.
I really don’t know how it has so many positive reviews unless they are mostly fake. I doubt any of them are real. After 106 days I’ve dug 78 feet into my wall.... how thick are these walls?Show lessSuperHonestyTime
Fun but glitchy
I really enjoy word games so I thought I’d give this a try. I like the story and the objects the character can use that gets added throughout the game via level solutions. I feel they could add a lot more to the story though. Especially the cut scene animations. They tend to repeat too much, so it feels like there isn’t much progress happening. My biggest problem though is with the glitches. The daily challenge hasn’t been working correctly. The first problem was it wanted the word “Monaco” (I even used coins to make sure that was the word) and I kept telling me it wasn’t a legal word. Today’s daily challenge isn’t letting me select letters to put in the empty boxes. If you want people to spend money on a game like this you got to address these issues quickly. And it wouldn’t hurt to expand the story and add more diverse cut scenes to show the character advancing. After all, it is what separates this word game from many others. I would give this a higher rating if it wasn’t for the glitches in the daily challenges.Show lessAgentofLaw
Boring
The “game” is a story of a stick figure escaping from prison. The story is constantly being interrupted by ads and word jumbles with extra letters. Guessing an incorrect word removes the letters guessed from the correct word. Guessing real words gives “cash” that can be used to buy hints. Watch ads for more “cash”. Also get interrupted by ads. Even had an ad interrupted by another ad. There is no real choice involved with the jumbles, so if you can make “shiv”, “shovel”, and “spoon” with the available letters and “spoon” is their choice for the story that will be the word. While some of words are key to the story many of the jumbles have nothing to do with the story at all... or are crap like a bottle to bribe the guard with for no apparent reason or food eaten in the cell. Ever watch a movie with five scenes eating food for no apparent reason related to the story? No? Probably because it’s boring!Show lessJason C White
Mystery Words Were A Waste of Time
I’ve gotten as far as DAY 129 or something, and have yet to get my character to escape because I haven’t made anymore progress after realizing how repetitive this game can get. I’ve also realized before I got to DAY 100 that the mystery words would have nothing to do with the story majority of the time. Despite not having to pay for items that will help give you hints what the mystery word could be by watching the endless amounts of ads they have, it annoyed me more than anything that I felt like I was wasting my time when the mystery words were “could”, “would”, “they”, and so on.
I agree with the others who’ve commented that this game had so much potential, and I wasn’t bothered by the fact that the ads helped me get free items to progress further in the game, but guessing the mystery words that had nothing to do with the story definitely got me to stop playing.Show lessduhflyinasian
Amazing
I downloaded this game today and never had so much fun I know everyone opinion is different but with my disability’s I have trouble focusing and learning certain things. For some reason I am focusing and actually giving myself a challenge trying to figure out the words even though you can have multiple words(if not right one they give you coins as long as it’s a word) if you can’t figure it out you get items to help out I haven’t used one yet plus if you make a word that isn’t anywhere where they are looking for they will start to subtract some letters to me this Game is challenging to me may not be to some people but at least I can give myself a challenge thank you.Show lessLiz uno
Stunned
I love the creativity put into this game, it go’s from digging with a stick to a spoon to a hammer and so on. I was really stunned, I thought it would’ve been like the stick man series were each action would come to an ending or a death but you had to create the word/action until I found myself digging with a stick😳. I also found myself overconfident, I would feel so confident that the word was the state Ohio just to find out that Ohio wasn’t a “legal word” lol. Over all I think it’s a great game👍🏻 and if you love words and like to challenge your iQ then go ahead just don’t blame me when you find out a word you’ve been using for a long time isn’t a “legal word”.Show lessdigital dude101
New items?
I know you’ve all seen this in the other reviews but why not add another to the pile. The game is pretty fun at first, because we’re getting new items as we play. It’s interesting and we wanna help the little stick guy. The levels seem like they’re getting harder because more and more letters are coming in. But at ~60 levels in, nothings happening. I haven’t played too far, but it seems that the hammer’s the last item. And the levels don’t get any more difficult. It seems it doesn’t go above 6 letters, and there’s so many 3 letter levels. We’re this far in, we don’t need anymore 3 letters.
Overall the game is fun but so repetitive. If you want to lure the audience in with new items, then actually make new items. Don’t just stop after 60 levels.Show lessGothitasally
