It feels like most of the puzzles are "spot 4 numbers on your screen and type them" and that's very boring. Some of them actually require a bit of thinking but it's still very light.

(За мини-обзором на русском: [url=https://dtf.ru/games/5089726]> сюда <) A small game with a collection of various puzzles. You need to enter a 4-digit code using visual clues. + Nice variety of difficulty. Some levels are easy rest, some of them are very tricky. + Many puzzles use math or logic, but some require general knowledge (like astronomy) or working on metagame level. + In-game help that gives an additional …

Overall, I had a good time with What's the Password?. It ended up being a great game to play with a group of friends, sitting around the TV and trying to solve puzzles together. Some of the puzzles were genuinely clever and satisfying to figure out, requiring a bit of teamwork and outside-the-box thinking. My biggest issue was the difficulty scaling. It felt completely inconsistent. Some puzzles practically hand you …

I think this is a "recommend, but not for me". A lot more rebus puzzles and than I was expecting, and I think some of the solutions were abstract in ways where I didn't feel clever for solving them - just frustrated. However, I also know there are people that LOVE this style of thinking (see: the Blue Prince gallery puzzle). It's just doesn't spark joy for my brain.

positive · AI labelView post →I like the idea for this game and I was very excited for its release, but I don't love the execution. Many of the puzzles were too easy and weren't really puzzles, even late in the game. And then a few were very difficult with no real way of coming up with the answer, especially without using the hints. Some of the puzzles were great though, about 20 of them I think were a great challenge and involved real puzzle solving skills, and when they came up it was very fun. But most of them were just…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would say too basic in general, most of the puzzles are not very engaging and some are moon logic. I got to solve all, but I didn't feel very fullfilled

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun, bite-sized puzzle game. Some of them required thinking outside of the box.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another short review for another short game. People are always asking "What's the Password?" but never "How's the Password?" it's very sad. backloggd.com/u/Psientolog...
positive · AI labelView post →100% in 1.5 hours. Game has nice puzzles, but nothing more. Fun like in an EXIT game, but cheaper.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100 puzzles, about 3 hours of "gameplay" to complete the game once, and there's no possible guide that just gives you the answers. That last point is interesting, many of the puzzles don't have a fixed answer. These include puzzles that break the 4th wall meaning that even looking after looking up a guide, you will still need to understand the trick that allows you to solve the puzzle. That is great in my book. Lets face it, if you play through the puzzles then take a break of a few months…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo and enjoyed it, so I figured that all of the hate reviews are just whiny people that are bad at puzzles. Well, no. That is not the case. The game is just not good, with some of the worst puzzles I've encountered in recent memory. Some are good, yes, but most of them are already in the demo. Sadly, an easy pass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this is a "recommend, but not for me".

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its ok. Would only really recommend it if you like a lot of little code puzzles, a lot of which seemed too simple for my taste.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →similar to that roblox puzzle game i like playing so i naturally liked this fun puzzle solving (had to use a bit of hints but i wasnt really mad on most of these, just wish some of these were better indicated [looking at you specific puzzle])
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game. Not very deep but doesn't need to be.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved this game. Every puzzle is just the right level of challenge. The meta puzzles towards the end are particularly clever. Well worth your time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What's the Password is a light-hearted, logic puzzle game that is a great game to spend an evening working on. We had a relaxing time going through each puzzle figuring out what the catch was. Some were more straight forward than others but all provided their own little quirks. I would recommend to anyone interested in a couple laughs and eye-rolls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful little puzzle game that will have you alternating between scratching your head and slapping your knee when you realize what the prompt actually is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What's the Password? is a clever logic-based puzzle game that demonstrates how a simple idea can be expanded into an engaging and surprisingly challenging experience. Developed and published by TrampolineTales, the game revolves around deciphering four-digit passwords using clues, deduction, and careful observation. While the premise sounds straightforward, the developers build an impressive collection of puzzles around this concept, creating a game that constantly encourages players to think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, about 2 hours for someone who is accustomed to puzzle games. No puzzle was unfair, and every hint I used did it's job
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know who you are... You're a millennial who spent most of your time in school playing free flash games. If the name Bart Bonte means anything to you, you should stop reading and just download the game. You'll thank me later. If you aren't an old school flash game puzzle player, there was a time in the early aughts where flash games were king... especially when your teacher didn't know what you were doing. (Except, I was your teacher, and I was also playing those games.) One genre of these…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's short (I finished it in about 2 hours) but some of the puzzles are very clever. I liked it. You'll like this if you like little puzzle games. I'd put it in the same category as https://store.steampowered.com/app/3300800/HER_TREES__PUZZLE_DREAM/ , https://store.steampowered.com/app/2570630/20_Small_Mazes/ , and https://store.steampowered.com/app/499440/klocki/ .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like puzzles, but I don't play many *just* puzzle games - but this one is really clever! Each puzzle has a unique solution and the ones where you have to think laterally really give you that "eureka" moment. I enjoy the stylish presentation the game has too. This game knows exactly what it wants to be, nails it, and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Some may be turned off by a potential short playtime (anywhere from 1-3 hours depending), but it was the perfect bite sized, unique, clever,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun time hooray hooray hoora
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm at 33% and loving it so far! The core concept is dead simple and some of the puzzles are on the easier side, but there are also really clever ones in there that'll give you pause. Really enjoyable pacing along with a chill soundtrack. And if you want to replay it later, the puzzles actually seem to be generated differently each time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved playing the game. I got 100% in about two hours. Solutions were very creative, and I like how the game messed with my expectations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful and quick little game! The puzzles are all fun and there are lots that will have you going "aha" when you've got the answer finally! Some puzzles have randomly generated answers so you can go back and play this again in the future after you're all done with it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What an absolute gem of a game! The different puzzles had me laughing, even when I was finding the puzzle rude for being too difficult (really, they're just very clever puzzles). I highly recommend for gamers that enjoy an even pace between easier puzzles and some that may have you thinking for quite a few minutes. There are hints for the more difficult puzzles, a little math here and there, some visuals that seem wild but make sense at the end of the day...overall, a very fun game to stream…
