Let me talk about my situation first. Every day, I take the subway for 40 minutes during the morning rush hour and another 40 minutes during the evening rush hour. These 80 minutes would be a waste of life if I didn't use my mobile phone. But you want me to play an online game that requires continuous card drawing and teaming up to play dungeons? If it doesn't work, my teammates might scold me for hanging up as soon as I get off the road. So now my mobile phone is full of small games that can be opened and closed at any time. "Escape from the Laboratory" is a treasure I recently discovered.
The gameplay of this game can be summarized in one sentence: tap the screen with one finger to control the character to parkour and hide from traps in the laboratory. The operation is really simple, you can get started in ten seconds, but it is really addicting to play. The pace is so fast that you don't have time to think about anything else. When you arrive at the subway station, you look up and, oh my god, three stops have passed. It's quite relaxing.
The most amazing ones are those weird laboratory levels, such as an aquarium full of jellyfish and a ghost hall that attracts people. More than 20 levels are enough for you to play for a while. The little monsters in the levels are also very funny. There are tortoise-shell rabbits and TV snails. They are weird and a little cute. Collecting them while doing parkour gives you the joy of opening a blind box. When my wife saw me playing, she asked what kind of game it was. I said it was just parkour, but she took it to play for ten minutes without giving it back to me.
But the shortcomings have to be said, this game is indeed a bit cruel. My reaction was a little slow and I would hit a trap, especially in the later levels. I had to die again, try again, die again, and my phone was almost sweating. But don't tell me, it's this motivation of “I might pass if I try again” that makes me look forward to taking two more stops during my daily commute. Moreover, the free game has no advertisement pop-ups, which is very friendly to workers. Who wants to watch 30 seconds of advertisements and wait for resurrection when working overtime is so tiring?
By the way, let's talk about the platform, Android 5.0 or above will be enough. The developer is Beijing Youdaoyi, which is an old game company, and the quality is still reliable. In short, if you are like me and squeeze into the subway every day and don't have much time to play games, you can really give this game a try. After all, as workers, what we want is this kind of game that lasts only a few minutes, doesn't feel bad if we die, and can be thrown into our pocket at any time.
