TARAKAN - Mystery Point & Click Adventure

[h1]*TARAKAN* - Aber nur, weil ich das Knacken von Zahlencodes mag![/h1] "Tarakan" ist von der Machart her ein sehr einfach gestricktes Spiel und eine Mischung aus Point & Click und Escape Room. Man bewegt sich durch einzelne, statische Screens auf der Suche nach Gegenständen und Hinweisen, um bei der Lösung der gestellten Rätsel weiterzukommen. Diese beschränken sich hauptsächlich auf das Eingeben von Codes, um Türen oder Safes zu öffnen. Hört sich einfach an, aber die Entschlüsselung der Kombinationen erfordert einiges an Gehirnschmalz, ist aber grundsätzlich machbar. Auf den allerletzten Code wäre ich ehrlich gesagt aber nie von alleine gekommen. Das war mir dann doch zu abstrakt. Während die Rätsel also ganz gut gemacht sind, ist es die Handhabung des Spiels aber leider gar nicht. Man hat keinen blassen Schimmer, wohin man klicken muss, um in einen neuen Screen zu kommen. An einem Punkt bin ich deshalb am Anfang lange nicht weitergekommen, weil ich einfach nicht gemerkt habe, dass hier noch ein Weg in eine andere Richtung führt. Richtungspfeile wären hier definitiv angebracht gewesen. Das gleiche Problem gilt für die Gegenstände, mit denen interagiert werden kann. Auch hier benötigt es jedes Mal eine kleine Klickorgie. "Tarakan" ist also ein Spiel mit wirrer Story, gelungener Musikuntermalung, herausfordernden Rätseln, schlichter Grafik und einer miserablen Handhabung. Wie soll man das jetzt bewerten? Da ich mich durch die Rätsel aber grundsätzlich für 2 Stunden unterhalten gefühlt habe, gibt es ausnahmsweise den blauen Daumen. Aber auch nur, weil ich das Knacken von Zahlencodes mag. ✿ [i]Special thanks to my friend f!v3s🐈🌴 for this nice little birthday present![/i] ✿ 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url]// [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/]Follow Second group [/url]

Sorry to say I was disappointed with this game. If you're seriously into math you may love it. I prefer the type of escape room where you find clues and solve problems. This game turned into all numbers with no clues at all. You either know the math required or, like me, you're out.

NOTE: This is an extremely primitive point and click escape game with exceptionally simple puzzles. Bought it on sale for $2.99 but I don't think it is worth more than $0.99. If you have exhausted escape game content and love point and click adventures, or if you are introducing a child to the point and click adventure genre, then have a go. Navigation to move forward is to click on the general area you want to go, and there is a back arrow to go back. That's it. You have to click around a lot on a screen to find active areas - the cursor doesn't change to indicate a hot spot. Not a pixel-hunt, though, the hot spot areas are ample sized.

This is a very short puzzle game, I took 4 hours but a chunk of that was me leaving the game running whilst I went off for a coffee or some other task. The graphics are basic 2D, the navigation point and click and the game is simplicity itself, find something that needs unlocking and then find a key or code. The puzzles vary from solutions staring you in the face to having to get a pen and paper out and do some calculations. It isn't very strenuous but does provide for a diverting few hours. Is it worth the price? Just about. I suspect this style of game works better on the Android platform.

Pretty good game about a submarine, if you like submarines and puzzles you'll like this game very much.

All the Puzzles up to the Gate on the Tarakan location here (once it uploads): https://youtu.be/5_qqxZrRXKI I enjoyed this game a good bit I like the visuals and I think some of the puzzles are really neat brain twisters. There were two I wish that the creator would have gave us a bit more information on how to solve, but I'm sure there's still a method the two I got to that I was legitimately stuck on for an hour each which burned my brain cells out. Definitely worth a try though and hopefully you can get further than I did. I did reach out to the creator for a tip on the last puzzle, but on second thought I figure it's best to end these type of games by yourself with the information given in game. It's a shame I won't see the end, but it is what it is hopefully the vid will be somewhat helpful to other players as well.

One of the worst puzzle game I ever played. Most of the puzzles are just ... stupid ... I could you know that was the case without any hint given by the game. Really short too, finished it in 4 hours with long pause in between. Don't waste your time and money with this game there are better ones out there.

6.5/10 Pros: -decent arcadey puzzle solving -mostly pretty intuitive and straightforward for the first couple rounds -short, but concise puzzle gameplay Cons: -requires decent math solving problems (not suitable for everyone), starts to get frustrating in the "GAMMA color" puzzle -needs more puzzle variety such as stages where you need to race the clock to give players more agency -could fit the puzzle into the "aborting the rocketship from launching" story to immerse the players for better gameplay experience (Find it silly to see so many documents of passwords lying around, makes it a little unrealistic) Pretty great game for a game developer. Keep it up and can't wait to play more escape-room type games like this from you in the near future. ;)

That game is way to basic.

this game is not worth 6.99. save your money
