Game Review
Game idea is simple you are firmly locked in a room and you've to escape. This is a flash game where you have to escape the room not twice but forty times! This flash game literally lives up to its name... Forty locked doors and forty tests of your problem solving skills. While we've seen Doooors and 100 Floors before, the environments in the rooms of those games could change almost dramatically. This game sticks to the same few ingredients then do everything possible to mix those little things up each round.

This game is very nicely done. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of a puzzle game. I particularly liked that each puzzle is short and to the point. Most puzzles were not too hard, only one that I needed help for; was stuck on level 35, definitely made no sense then looked up the answer. *smacks self in face* Obviously, the developer is quite clever in making puzzle games; he made it fun and interesting with the puzzles he could create with just "escape" and a few buttons. I can see the amount of effort that was put into it.

40xEscape has delivered in a very clean and nice presentation, with the little bird flying around. Aren’t the prettiest but it kind of grows in you, when you play it. Sometimes it can even make you become ”maniac” because you just can’t figure out the right combination, but you can’t quit because it gives you a good feeling when you finally figure the floor out. Took me a while, and I realized I was playing as a bird and I'm surprised none of the levels requires me to hit the esc button. Kinda disappointed.
