4.2/5 (160 votes)

Open Doors is a clever puzzle game played over a gridded blue-print of a building complete with doors and swinging circles meant to identify their hinges. As you move past these contraptions, they slam shut behind you! It's like a house-of-mirrors boiled down to sheer design, and it's fun.

Hm. Nice game, but headache is imminent around level 10 or so.

I like it. Very simple idea, and well executed. Level design is pretty nice aswell.

I personally liked it, it's a fun little mechanic. To some degree, I was hoping that the game would provide a bit more than just the doors... as the later game provided the same door puzzles just strung together into a greater comeplexity, making the experience a wee-bit repetitive.

But I agree... the concept was executed extremely well, and I was refreshed by the visual style. This whole door thing could have been easily overcomplicated by distracting graphics, but the author went the smart route with a fun game that does exactly what it needs to do.

Good calls John. This game had great style and fun puzzles, but the concept only worked for so long. Maybe more door types, stairs would add more dimension to the puzzles.

Or I know LASERS, this game needs LASERS and ZOMBIES. (sorry)

Ahhhh.. this is so frustrating! I've been stuck at the last bit of level 11 for a couple of hours now, just going in circles. I can't figure out how to get past it :/

Well, nevermind. My browser finally crashed, and they don't have any sort of feature to return you to the level you were at. There's no way I'm playing through to level 11 again.

Level 11, bottom right. No joy - any clues out there?

I reached level 12, and found that if I refreshed the page, the game offered to let me continue from where I left off, as shown here. Perhaps your browser crash killed your progress...

I lasted until level 12 then got bored. It was fun while it lasted.

I think my head just exploded into a million pieces at the top of level 13. Medic!

This is great for puzzle lovers like myself. There is something amazingly satisfying about a new puzzle that is really different from other puzzles, requires true logic, and actually works.

Jay, do you know if there is any way to return to a particular level in this game? I have to go to work, but don't want to lose my place!

Reply

dsrtrosy - when you exit and come back to it later, this is the screen you'll see:

So, yes, you can continue where you left off, but there is no level select screen.

Reply

Woo hoo! You rock. Thanks! I didn't want to close the window if I was going to lose it.

Reply

for me, level 13 was the first one that was tricky and required me to restart a couple times. I wish the game had reached that point earlier, maybe cut out half of levels 1-12.

This is a wonderful little puzzler that yes - can be challenging and brain-straining - but eventually after bludgeoning through enough turnstiles and flipping through quadruple doors and whatnot, your subconscious mind seems to absorb some rudimentary "strategy" allowing you to solve some of the later levels without really concentrating. At least that's what my mind did.

Though the game gives the illusion that you can work your way through any level minus having to restart from the beginning, there are several corners you can back yourself into with no hope of getting yourself out without starting over.

It took me awhile to figure out that you COULD open doors that weren't facing the right way by

standing next to the door then stepping over to an adjacent sqaure, as if really opening a door.

Discovered it by mistake.

Reply

I find it infuriating that this game tried to send ads for itself to my Facebook profile while I played.

Somebody please help me with level 9.:(

I'm about ready to give up. Level 9 seems impossible.

13 seemed to be the hardest, but it's not impossible

HOW DO YOU BEAT LEVEL 8!?

Unknownc1c June 18, 2008 2:54 AM

OK PEOPLE HERE'S A HINT ON HOW TO BEAT LEVEL 25!!!

As you notice when you start, the end is open. You have to keep that door open, if it closes at any point you MUST reset. To get to the finish you have to go all the way to the top and around. So just keep moving everything around until you clear a path up and around everything.

I might try to go back and get a better solution with exact steps later, but this is the best hint to the answer I've ever seen :p

Hint for level 8: it's actually quite easy. If you're stuck, hit reset. This is one of the first levels where you can permanently bar yourself from a win if you do the wrong thing.

I think this game is the so cool!
I think the doors were a very good touch.
Im glad he didnt add anything to it.
Otherwise it would be kind of kid-ish.
Very unique. I never would of thought of that.

I have passed all the levels. After passing all the levels

you have to pass them all again but can only pass it with so many moves.

I am stuck on level 10 right now and keep running out of moves 2 blocks away from the X.
