Time Trap - Hidden Objects Puzzle Game Reviews

It's taken in all from start to end to play this game a full 3 hrs. I had expected more. It hasn't been difficult puzzles or find the objects, the storyline is just about travelling through space and time, and getting enough stars to level up. At least you don't get penalised for taking a while to get there, e.g. afk helps, you just leave the game running. The intricately drawn pictures are quite difficult to recognise object, because most of the objects are the same colour as the background. But apart from that, this is really the only difficulty to this game, Ideal if you just want time to kill, its better than playing Freecell.

I bought it in sale. Items with low contrast to find in blurred backgrounds isn't fun. Especially if you have to scroll up and down to get them. You're getting points, plus and MINUS! What's that for? I don't like it, although I'm asked multiple times for a LIKE.

This is a relaxing, classic HoG with some interesting art. The game is a little short; I wouldn't have minded it being longer. Getting 100% was straightforward yet fun.

Didn't like it. Timed hidden-object puzzles. If you didn't find all the objects in a given amount of time, you were forced to do it all again. Well, I just don't see the point in something like this, except for people who enjoy torturing themselves.

The whole game feels very.... meh. The art looks to be largely photos photoshopped together with low contrast and poor graphic quality, and the story is fairly nonexistent. There are no real puzzles, or characters, or really anything very interesting in this game.

Boring. Had to look for the same objects in every screen. After looking for the umpteenth moth it got old. Funny that the game gives you the option to zoom in, and then they throw a tiny wee puzzle at you, and you guessed it, no zooming here when once it's needed.

While it's nice that you can zoom in to search for objects, progress is locked behind how many stars you earn and it appears to be comparing your stats against other players. Good if you feel the need to be competitive, but I prefer to play for myself and not how I compare to others for each stage. I further don't recommend it because it seems shallow and lacks story development compared to other hidden object games.

Well, honestly, I should have paid a lot less. Only 2 hours to complete. I paid $1.79. The art is nice and unusual, which is why I got it, but the story isn't really much, and the hidden object games, as everyone has already said, are looking for the same objects repeatedly. It was kinda disappointing. A waste of potential since the art was interesting. I would say, if you find it in a bundle or for less than I paid, sure, why not. Otherwise, no. Save your money. I've gotten hidden object games for under $1 that were far more interesting and fun. (Wish you could say "maybe'... Instead gonna say nah.)

[h1]Short version: 22%[/h1] Time Traps is all about quantity instead of quality, where the abundance of the hidden object scenes want to hide their horribly outdated nature and mechanics, plus the lack of actual storytelling. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Time Trap is the living example that at least one Eastern European developer is still doing the same low-grade cash-in hidden object games in 2017 that flooded the market around late 2009. It pretty much hits every item on the old checklist: [list] [*]The graphics are low resolution even for ancient smartphones, and everything is so pixelated that you may think your monitor is malfunctioning. [*]The same few dozen items occupy every of the 27 scenes, often hidden in monochrome, pixelated masses that make your eyes hurt. [*]There is no actual story, just a few random text screens, where the lines often spill over their boxes. [/list] The only positive thing I can think of is the large number of hidden object scenes and how the game tries to add replay value with a score system. However, those are not enough to recommend it even to veteran HOG players.

Time Trap is one of those games that I enjoy but have a hard time putting my finger on exactly why. The presentation has a lot to be desired, and the writing could certainly use some polishing up by an English speaking proof reader. But the story isn't why I'm here. Despite the abundance of HOPAs on Steam, there's a dearth of pure hidden object games on the platform. And sometimes I just want to load up a game and shut my brain down while I search for objects on my screen. And search for objects I did. Actually, if you're working towards 100%-ing the game, you'll be playing each scene over and over until you've successfully collected all of the items and scored 3 stars. While this admittedly can be a bit of a grind, I found it quite enjoyable. Learning all of the objects' placements and quickly picking them out was satisfying in a way that's hard to describe. Using the HINT button for those particularly difficult to find items doesn't feel like much of a penalty either, but it's actually nice to have a HOG that doesn't enforce no-hint playthroughs for achievements. For those looking for even more challenge, there are leader boards for each HOS. This was something I wasn't particularly interested in myself, but it adds replay for those who are so inclined. Really, there's not much more I can say. If you're looking for a HOG without the adventure-lite elements, you might want to check this one out. Even at full price, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. It may not be the perfect game, but if you just want something to whittle away your time without having to put much thought into it, you can do much worse.
