Escape Artist

Simple and appealing.

I agree with those who have said this is more of a hidden object or pixel hunting game, rather than a member of the escape genre. You need to make it more obvious that there are alternate zones of focus. For example, why can we look under the sofa only in that one exact spot? Clicking anywhere along the bottom border of the sofa should rightfully take us to the "under the sofa" view, or else you are being a bit cruel. It isn't clever to deliberately thwart the player who is actually thinking the thought you intended him to think, just because he clicked on a pixel under the sofa that wasn't the pixel YOU had in mind. This whole game was rather pompous in that regard. The puzzles aren't clever or thought-provoking, they're merely frustrating to guess at the location you had in mind.

That cat that keeps putting the ball back on the table is a right little shit lol. Dammit cat y u do dis? Leave the ball on the floor you furry bastard.

I liked the extra animations - especially the white cat with it's ball of yarn :D
