Just completed the game. Amazed me how "selfish" some players were. Although it's hard to communicate actions - and harder still to differentiate players - it did seem that I spend much longer helping players who just camped by the exit.


Played yesterday and there were a lot of people with the same mindset as I had: help a couple of others, then be helped and get out. Awesome experience.

Played again today and it was messier and there seemed to be more selfish ones (sometimes can be very obvious in levels with only a couple of cursors). People just entering a level and waiting at the gates. Really had to push them to come switch places. Sometimes got stuck more than 5 minutes in a level (which led to funny chatting with others though)

tldr; just like in real life.

sidenote: I don't know much about web programming, but when are the bots coming to this one? E.g. for entering text easily?


There's an end? Aw, man! I tought it was just big bunch of randomly chosen levels. How about a counter? Something like 'this is level 123 from 444'?

Surprisingly awesome game tough!


That's what I don't like about these "throw you into our world" games/websites. Sure, it's kind of adventurous to just be thrown into some game you don't know what is about or for, but it's not good for the web surfing procrastinator in me. OK, nice game and all, but is this going to be taking 5 minutes or two hours to complete? (Yes, I did finish this particular game. Someone pointed out how many levels there were, in one of the comments.)


And: If I close the game and want to continue the game later, is the game stored for me?
