Rooms: The Main Building Reviews

Nice little puzzle game where you need to rearrange rooms in the building to make sure protagonist reaches to the exit. Some rooms have special items, that allow teleporting between them, swap rooms etc. Artstyle is pleasant, soundtrack is cozy, perfect for killing some time in the evening.

Good puzzle game with a novel concept: a combination of sliding puzzle and point and click adventure. A great buy for puzzle fans, especially when it is discounted.

Rooms: The Main Building is a unique puzzle game with great play value and charming mechanics. You move rooms and use the mechanisms&utilities inside the rooms to exit. Pros: + Unique mechanics + Nice puzzles + Somewhat has positive production values on art department. Neutral: ~ Soundtrack is repetitive ~ Price is a bit steep for the content. Cons: - UI needs some tidying up. Some parts are confusing at first. - Easy for puzzle veterans. Needs more challenge. 8/10 Overall a unique puzzle game. Its a great company to have some fun on a lazy afternoon. Dont miss it on sale (-50% recommended).

Rooms is slide based puzzle game that puts you in the puzzle. The objective of each puzzle is to reach the exit, but simply sliding tiles is not enough. Each tile can have different elements such as ladders, teleportation phones, tile swapping cabinets, subway rides, water hazards, and more. These elements add an extra layer of depth into the simple slider concept. The puzzles are very engaging and the difficulty ramps up well as the game progresses. All these puzzles are wrapped neatly into an elaborate fantasy story that ties everything together nicely--very enjoyable.

This is a really fun puzzle game. I usually don't go after puzzles since they are mostly the same old game, with boring tasks to complete, but this one is different for getting mixed with the point-and-click genre. I just find it a bit expensive, though it presents a lot of content, but I got a coupon for it and they are kinda common. Este é um jogo de quebra-cabeça realmente divertido. Não costumo me importar com quebra-cabeças, pois são, na maioria, o mesmo velho jogo, com tarefas monótonas para completar, mas este é diferente por ser misturado com o gênero apontar e clicar. Só acho um pouquinho caro, embora apresente bastante conteúdo, mas obtive um cupom e eles são até comuns. [h3][b] Rating / Nota: 10 / 10 [/b][/h3]

What I liked: - It works, I didn't come upon any bugs so far - The graphics are pretty What I didn't like: - Having items explained to me by Mr. Book - The levels are far too simple Recommended for beginning puzzle solvers only.

Rooms: The Main Building - Steam PC version - 8 / 10 First playthrough 17 hrs, finished 2015.03.28 I have fond memories of playing handheld Sliding Tile games.... easy to pick up, simple mechanics and satisfying every time. Rooms: The Main Building awakens many of these happy feelings and surprises in the game mechanics department. Innovative, odd and quirky at times, the bottom line is a good little game like this deserves your attention and there is a sequel which is imminent… I will Definitely be picking up the sequel. Details Your character must exit from the Tile Grid by walking into The One Tile with an Exit Door. While moving between two adjacent tiles may be as simple as walking left to right or using a ladder to go up and down, most of the game will require skillful reorganization of tiles to get around obstructed walls, teleportation with your cellphone, pumping water out of flooded tiles, tile swapping, taking the subway and more. While the each of the game mechanics are simple, layering them generates complex puzzles. Thankfully the developers showed restraint and the resulting suite of 100 puzzles progress well. The tougher puzzles lend themselves quite nicely to trial and error to open up possibilities when the brain becomes over taxed with abstract rules. The developers have included a tool for generating your own puzzles which you could take to a masochistic level of complexity…. Your personal puzzles are saved to your steam folder and can be exchanged with your homies. What does not work in this game? There is a simple yet odd adventure story with hidden objects that tie together the 4 mansions, each mansion housing the 25 puzzle rooms; a clunky VN style interface; small video sequences for all character movements that are tooooo long; the audioscape is barely tolerable, there is no voice acting - only zoo zoo pet sounds, and I had to turn off the music; the internal achievement system did not recognize three quarters of what was finished; there are no steam achievements; YET all of this is Completely Forgivable because sometimes a game is just good; in fact this game deserves a 10/10. I am excited about the sequel coming out this year, this is a Definite Buy in my universe. Buy this game Rooms: The Main Building if you would like a Zen and calming puzzle experience bringing the classic 2D Sliding Tile puzzle game to the third if not fourth dimension. You should buy if you like Different.

OMIGOSH ROOMS IS FINALLY ON STEAM Well, folks, a long time ago I bought Rooms on Big Fish Games because coincidentally it was the featured game of the day the very first time I saw the site. This was back when the shovelware developers were on the casual PC market bandwagon before they all moved to making iPhone clone games. Somehow, bizarrely, in the sea of match-3 and hidden object games there was what I now consider to be an All Time Indie Classic, Rooms: The Main Building. Rooms was also released on Nintendo DS where it was largely ignored because of no marketing (that I know of), and despite me stumbling upon the game at B.F.G., it was definitely not getting the attention it deserved on PC. Furthermore, after B.F.G. was hacked all those years ago, it really put me off wanting to install their client again since Rooms was basically the only reason to do so. But now I don't have to worry about it because Rooms is on Steam! I don't know if Rooms would be in my all-time top ten, but it is certainly my number one favorite puzzle game ever. As much as I love Portal and the Popcap games, I like Rooms even better. Take it from someone who owns almost a thousand Steam games: this is one of the best.

First impression. This is a sliding puzzle game with 100 puzzles and a level editor. (I'm not sure where you would find more levels for download, but apparently you can?) The twist is that you can only slide the piece you're on, so the game introduces mechanics for you to switch tiles: you can use a ladder, teleport yourself, switch out the level, and more. There are also locked doors, keys, explosives... But wait, there's more, it gets meta. At the same you are moving the tiles, you also need to place them correctly so the background picture will look right in the end. If you manage that, you unlock items. And even more meta: these items can be used in a small point&click that is framing your puzzle endeavours. It's all wrapped up in some photographic art that, despite being 1024x768 (the game scales it up for you if you like) does the job admirably, as does the slightly jazzy music that gives the game an old-time London feel. But you can see that from the trailer and the screenshots. Solid puzzler, lots of (up to now) casual puzzles that provide a soft learning curve, and are orginal and fun to do. It took me about 1 hour for the first 20 levels of 100. I'm definitely going to finish this game.
