Doors: Awakening

I loved this game but after completing it, I tried to figure out what to do with all 18 notes I collected throughout the game. Each note has a symbol similar to the rotating doorway shown in the game’s opening scene. However, I can’t figure out what to do with the notes/symbols. I reached out to the developer to see if there is a secret level or what these notes/symbols mean but got no response. Feel like the game is incomplete with no way to find out what the notes/symbols have to do with anything. Would definitely change to 5 stars if I could get any response from the developer whatsoever. Update: Finally heard from developer and symbols on notes do nothing. Good to know, upping my review to 5 stars!

UPDATE 1/1/20: Where are all the paid levels I thought I was buying? I love this game, originally gave it 5 stars, and thought it was one of the best I’ve played, but had to lower my rating a little after paying for more levels. I discovered it was just a few more levels and played most of them in about 30 minutes. Then, when I returned to play the rest, I couldn’t figure out which ones had already been completed and had to open each level to see if it looked familiar. Maybe they mark the levels that you already played, but I couldn’t find an indicator. I still think it’s an excellent game, but the paid levels really need to be longer. ORIGINAL 5-STAR RATING (with revisions): I almost never give 5-star ratings. This game joins the ranks of The Room, The Birdcage, Da Vinci, and a few others. Great graphics, creative, original and clever design, music that’s not annoying; it’s challenging, but not so difficult that gameplay slows down and gets boring. (It’s an art form to design a well-paced game that sustains interest.) There is a logical sequence to the gameplay, so if you have good reasoning kills, you don’t need hints. The free levels are enough to pique your interest, leave you wanting more, and they don’t have so many ads that you can’t focus on evaluating the game. Additional levels are appropriately priced. I’m going to pay for more because IT’S A WINNER!

I really enjoy this game and I RARELY buy the games. This one looked like it was going to include many more levels and that’s not the case. Total of 18 rooms. 4 main levels with 4 rooms each and 2 epilogues that are single rooms. Not exactly what I was expecting. I’ve played it several times over thinking maybe a hidden gem in the notes but nope. This would be a solid 5 star game if there were 4 more levels with at least four rooms in each. As it is if they had advertised what exactly you were getting I’d probably still bought it but with lower expectations. Some of the rooms are quite fun and challenging! Please ad more rooms for those of us that bought the game. Also please remove the ads for those of us that paid for this!!!

First, this is a good, easy relaxing puzzle game like The Birdcage(s). It is great for kids and adults trying puzzle games for the first time before going on to tougher ones like, The Room games, DaVinci, Eyes of Ara, etc. And even though I have played those games and have some sanity left, this game is nice, enjoyable and easy on the brain...until the levels near the end. Then a little more difficult. My only complaint is the price is high for such a short game, especially when the games mentioned above play a LOT longer for the same price. Also, when you pay you should get unlimited hints.

This game is excellent. The puzzles are short enough to solve each in a little while, so that you are not spending hours on one chapter, but challenging enough to make them enjoyable. The graphics and themes are beautiful and so well designed. The puzzles are unique - not exactly the same types that I’ve seen in so many other games of this nature. A few more levels for the money and it would have been awarded 5 stars. One of the best and most beautiful puzzle games out there! Great job. More levels please.!
