Trap Labs

4.5/10 I've played and enjoyed many cooperative escape rooms on Steam (which often have puzzle elements), and so I thought Trap Labs might scratch a puzzle itch for myself and my co-op partner. While I have to say that I loved the graphical cartoon style of the game and the intuitive interface, that's unfortunately where my praise for the game ends. I would've liked for the second player to have a different colored shirt, or even be able to select a different character to showcase more of the unique art style. Perhaps I'm not as engaged by puzzles as some, but I guess I just wanted to get some extra funny robot dialogue or a little story piece to tell me more about Billy's life after each puzzle. I'd memorize a pattern, traverse some oscillating squares, and then immediately be treated to...another almost identical puzzle. In addition, the movement in the game just did not feel good to me. My character felt "floaty" and seemed to take a moment to both stop and start moving. The controls do not feel as tight as something like a Super Meat Boy. This movement simply did not combine well with the precision demanded by the game.

This is a really fun action/puzzle trap game! The puzzles are challenging, but fair enough to make you keep trying one more level, then one more level, until you realize you were supposed to put it down 4 hours earlier. It's definitely a little rage inducing, but the feeling of finally persevering is so satisfying! The art style is also adorable, and really brings charm to an already really polished game. If you're a fan of the old Starcraft custom games or the Fairly OddParents art style, you should totally check it out!

Disclaimer: I was asked by the developer of this game to play it on stream. But I bought the copy of it with my own money. This game was a very pleasant surprise to me. I went into this game with absolutely no expectations and having never heard about it prior. It has a casual and humorous atmosphere with a dash of dark humor mixed into it. The traps in this game progress in difficulty at a good pace so that there are no unexpected spikes in difficulty. The bosses can be difficult but thankfully your character only respawns if they die. After respawning they can resume fighting the boss right where they left off. The story mode for me took a little bit over 3 hours to beat. But the game offers many more game modes for extra replayability. it also includes leaderboards to match yourself against other players on Steam. One minor issue that came up a few times throughout my playthrough of this game were some grammatical problems with dialog. I definitely recommend having those corrected as they can stand out in an otherwise smooth gameplay experience. Overall I loved this game and recommend it. It's also being released on other platforms to my knowledge (such as Android) and thi…

Beat it 3 hours... The story ending just felt so ugly. Bought it for a friend, and myself...and i was unfortunately disappointed. On the bright side, i can honestly say that my tolerance for utter stupid crap has unfortunately increased. ...slightly. I now have slightly more sympathy for the pizza man when he is 5 minutes later than expected arrival time.

This is a fun and challenging game for one or multiple people (up to 16 online). The puzzles are fairly straight-forward to start, but kick it up a notch each level. There is both WASD (directional) or mouse control modes (with pathing). You can do Story mode, Arcade mode, or Multiplayer. Keep in mind, Story mode can also be done with friends. -There are 100 levels in the story, including some boss fights, which can be hectic and a little crazy to learn. -Arcade modes include Music mode, Endless, Level Up, Speedrun, and Bullet Hell (coming soon). The art, humor, and original music are great! The developer has said they plan to keep this game updated and continue to improve the game. There is also talk of a map editor coming, so that will definitely appease those who love an insane challenge, or trolling people with their creations!

Amazing game, great for all people of all ages tests your brain with challenging puzzles on your way to the top, play solo or with friends can't say enough good things about this game and it's developer
