[Android] ラピスと不思議なラビリンス (2013)

How:
Found by looking for nice Japanese 脱出 games on Google Play.
Note:
Could not finish the game due to a bug (shaking the mobile does not work as expected), nevertheless this happened a couple of puzzles before the ending.
Pros:
- Very nice pixel art
- Some clever puzzles involving the motion sensors of the mobile
Cons:
- The game feels like a random mix-up of fantasy elements and unrelated puzzles
- Item descriptions appear on the bottom-right, which is usually covered by the hand during play
- Some items are only needed for the sake of collection

[PC] Escape the Barn (2012)

How:
Got with the AGS Bake sale.
Pros:
- Nice country mood
Cons:
- Very short and trivial

[Android] Strange House (2011)

How:
Looked for the "best" escape-the-room game for Android out of curiosity and just picked the most popular free game with a nice icon.
Pros:
- Nice graphics and mood
Cons:
- No music
- Figuring out puzzle solutions earlier doesn't work (e.g. typing the correct telephone number before letting the character reach the same conclusion)
- Some aggravating pixel hunting
- Gameplay is very clunky and the need to precise tapping soon gets annoying

[Android] Escape the Room - Limited Time (2012)

How:

Explicitly googled for (exclusive) adventure games for Android devices, this was basically the only decent result I got to (with most people suggesting ScummVM and Flash-based games).

Pros:
- Very polished presentation
- Nice puzzles in general
- A nice mystery to solve
- Reasonably lengthy
Cons:
- Some accurate tapping is required
- A hugely frustrating bug (can't find the light switch in the dark)
- Given that there is a time limit to escape the room, some puzzles are unfairly difficult and require time for reasoning
- The number puzzles in Room 10 are stupidly difficult to solve in a limited time; they totally kill the idea of mobile gaming and make you want to give up the game for good
- Dialogues are often buggy (people saying things in place of others)
- Korean names are totally confusing
- Music is not looping properly
