 A short coding exercise about a lighthouse, February 10, 2016by MathBrush This is a game I played last year. You have 3 doors, 4 rooms, two keys, a container, and a button. Nothing is hidden, there are some typos, and the authors manually insert the winning text into the game without actually ending the game. Was this review helpful to you?

This review is longer than the game, April 15, 2015by dosgamer Let's see, 27 moves in four minutes. That speed typing in high school really did the trick. Believe it or not, there is a Brass key and a Crystal key. Guess which one opens which door. Well, that is not hard since finding the keys is linear. The entire four minutes is three to four containers and the game would not last that long except for the number of non-consequential items (e.g. a desk) that do nothing, contain nothing, and cannot be acted upon in any way shape or form.

Not spectacular, but I have seen worse, December 8, 2013by Simon Deimel (Germany) This little game is not a challenge for anyone -- finding keys and the corresponding doors right after that; no further implementations, no real story. But going through it did not hurt me, and finally there is a good will behind this game, as opposed to others which were simply made to be annoying. I have seen much worse. And stuff of the same quality which got better ratings for reasons that I do not understand. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Not really a game--a basic exercise in IF, October 22, 2013by streever (America) I wouldn't call this a game: besides poor implementation, it features no challenges at all. You have 3 doors, and can only open one. If you can figure out what direction that door is, you can walk in it and obtain a key, which opens the other door, etc. Was this review helpful to you?

no regrets about the five minutes spent on it, November 25, 2008by Jeremy Freese (Evanston, IL) I mean, if you go in appreciating this is the first game by somebody who is maybe 15 years old, it is a cute experience. It also made me smile to carry the button around and win in different rooms. I can't give one star to something that only took five minutes and had me amused, even if it was campy amusement.

An exercise in brevity, October 27, 2008The Lighthouse, submitted for the 2008 IF Competition, is probably the easiest IF game ever created. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

5 wasted minutes, October 12, 2008by Fra Enrico (Torino, Italy) What is this? A short exercise by people who are learning the inform language? If not, this is a hoax. A short, empty, hollow, meaningless adventure lasting no more than 20 actions, which steals away 5 minutes of your time in front of very brief descriptions and very few choices.
