Hallway Shot

Hallway Shot isn't perfect. If it were a cake, it would be a cake that is only partially frosted, and maybe a flavor that i'm not particularly fond of. Not entirely un-enjoyable, but lacking in certain areas. It has a smattering of silly gags and puzzles, and many ways to do them "Incorrectly", which does add to the charm of the package as a whole. However, for as many tiny chuckles as the game gave me, it met in kind with frustrations that felt avoidable. A couple rooms had solutions that, although I knew I was doing correctly, were just finicky enough that it had me questioning if I really had parsed out the right solution. At the end of my playthrough, I was left wandering the halls, empty room after empty room, only to find that a room that I hadn't thought about as anything more than a silly gag, was in fact a "puzzle". Not only that, but one that requires nothing more than patience. On it's own, not a big deal, but it being the only "Puzzle" in the game that requires you to do absolutely nothing, it left me flummoxed and a bit on the angry side. At the end of the day, the game costs about as much as a good cup of coffee, and gives enough small gags that it is worth it to check out if you're willing to put up with a a lack of polish and some jank.
