I reaaaally wanted to like this room, because the aesthetics were SO good, but I have to be honest... those grid puzzles were absolute misery :( One set would've been okay, but by the second set they got so complex and hard that I was just clicking around cluelessly. It was also a bit disappointing to discover that not only was there no help to get in the walkthrough in terms of solutions, I would also have to wait 5 minutes to skip just 1 out of 4-5 levels in the set!
I did like puzzles 2 and 3 a lot, though.

@Wollo thanks a lot. Sry for missing the hint at the start :)

@scytale: The music credits can be found at the start of the room.
The song used is "A Simple Chill" by David Renda.

nice room. What's the background music? Felt pretty relaxing :)

@Ceinos: True, the Room desyncs pretty badly in multiplayer rather often. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it, it’s an engine issue. I will add a disclaimer to the start of the room.

This is completely broken for co-op mode. The second room's puzzle de-synced between me and the person I was playing with (I was stuck on the second level while he was on the fourth) and once he beat it successfully, the third room simply wouldn't load at all for me--none of the floor tiles floated up, couldn't see the puzzle at all, the only thing visible was the room list and the hint button.

Great room! Reminds me of all the flash games I played as a kid. Enjoyed versus with my friends, clocked in a first time score of 50:02.

I wish the hints that show up after the first person finishes were optional though.

Great work as always, Wollo

easy as lomg as skip

Very well-crafted map, congratulations on a job well done. Didn't finish it; the recurring sokoban-esque puzzles aren't the vibe I'm looking for right now although I did enjoy the few others I did. (If it was, I wouldn't be playing Escape Simulator!)

Did it all fairly quickly somehow. Ending reminded me of Sonic Adventure 2 lol

Since we're talking with paragraphs I'll tell one right now while my demo is being installed.

This game to me is a world where all problems are just a simulation following the real thing. This game, no, world is full of possibilities. All it needs is even more chapters worlds and universes. To me you are a inspired writer who just needed to get their inspiration out of the way for more possibilities. You are a inspiration to all, but to some others, like me, it is hard to make a hole world.

@AWGone, @OoBANoO: No, this is not a classical escape room, in that it is not a room and has no door to open, and presents its puzzles in an unusual way (which is actually true of many community rooms and even some of the official rooms). In my view, an escape room is about solving puzzles, and Neon provides that. Virtual escape rooms give us a chance to go beyond the settings and structures of a classic escape room, which is a legitimate option, in my opinion.
@Nishi: I understand that not everyone will like that kind of puzzle - you'll find that some players think it's the best thing about this room, and some hate it. Feel free to skip any puzzle you don't like or find too hard. There is a "Skip Buttons" switch at the beginning of the room. If you enable it, you will not need to wait for 5 minutes for the skip buttons to appear. I've added a reminder to the walkthrough.

Was fun at first! But after each time the grid puzzle came up me and my group started to get progressively more annoyed. Was great but honestly reusing the grid puzzle more then twice (when there are multiple puzzles to solve in each grid section) and not just giving new type of puzzles made the room no longer fun. Also the walk-through hint to wait 5 minutes was the biggest breaking point for us.

not escape and very hard.

AWSOME

Well not an escape room, is it.

puuuh what a level... we only stuck on Part 8.. the sliding puzzle where you have side on side to bring the yellow stones... that was hardcore.. all other? noooice... **THUMP UP**

a lot of great things about this room
the amount of padding done with what is effectively a puzzlescript puzzler with worse controls was not one of them
really loved everything else though!

Holy crap some of these are tough. But great puzzles! Thank you.

Still working on the last one!

It does not work in co-op. We got de-synchronized on puzzle 2 and after a restart puzzle 3.

@Adyxtion: I haven't heard of that happening before, it should work in co-op. Is this the case for all puzzles or only for a specific one? And have you tried toggling hint buttons off and on again at the settings panel?

Im not getting the skip button show up when playing in co-op??

I SKIPPED the block parts BECUASE THEY WERE TO HARD

@A Really Short Hobbit: Thanks for your praise!

To clarify: This room was not submitted for the build-a-thon.
I was commissioned by Pine to design the puzzles for the official hard versus room. Because of this professional association, I did not enter the contest.
However, as a challenge for myself, I did make Neon in parallel, according to the same requirements and timeline. So feel free to compare it to other submissions.

I'm sorry this room is not colorblind-friendly at all. I'm considering adding colorblind settings, but it will be a lot of work to implement for some puzzles. Clearing the laser puzzle is a good idea though, I'll add a button to do that.

Amazing room! Deserves a spot on the best of the month for August, especially as it seems it was overlooked during the Build-A-Room. I had a couple issues near the end.

I would have liked to be able to "clear" the laser puzzle as it made things difficult to visualise (and the green/cyan are very similar looking to me, which didn't help).
Also, once I finished and the "CONGRATULATIONS" banner appeared, the room didn't end (finish not triggered?). It was in single-player, if that helps.

I look forward to your future rooms!

Damn, that was a lot of fun! Honestly I don't know what else I'd expect from a Wollo room, given the quality usually put into each of them, but still, this was enjoyable. I really appreciate the Visual Noise toggle, without that I think I would have fried both my brain *and* my computer
Good work my guy
