One Button Travel Hack 2.1.1 + Redeem Codes

while usually I don't waste time reviewing things, I came to care about this story progression enough to write one. This app caught my attention because of mentions of clever humor and an interactive story. It delivered. But, sadly, as I progressed through the story, it's been a couple weeks now, I got bored. I always get back to the story as soon as I get a notification, save for when I'm sleeping, and I just think it needs to be sped up. Once the character you're chatting with gets a hold of the terms of service, i lost a lot of interest. I feel like it should be done now. There was a fake-out, and maybe that would have been too easy of a way to finish it, but after that really seemed to be when you needed a conclusion. That was the climax, there needs to be a much smaller falling action and then perhaps a complex resolution. How it is now, it's just boring. This app is still worth buying, I don't regret it at all. I just wish it was a bit better at this point.

Cute idea, this seems to be a fiction story written as if you're receiving it in text message format. Unfortunately I didn't feel a connection with the character, despite the "interactive" stop points (it didn't seem my choices actually changed the course of the story?). After a couple of days of playing in my off time, I lost interest. Wish there were consequences to choices, because the story wasn't compelling enough on its own to keep me engaged.

I enjoyed playing this. Good sci fi scenario with attractive interface and memorable sound track. The Apple Watch app works well. Good sense of timing, plot, and suspense.

I liked the story, but wish there were more... Can you please add more. I don't want to delete it after one use...

Why is there only 2 endings

Not going to put any effort into my review much like the game developers did not put effort into their "game."

Who wants to make one move and then be forced to wait hours? Not me

As many reviews have stated, this app is a good idea, extremely poorly executed. In theory, the idea of an interactive fic text message story seemed interesting, but the reality of the stilted, stop-and-go story was a complete disappointment. I forced myself to go all the way to the end because I paid for the app, and the ending was a disappointment too. Before you buy this app, realize it is a bland story that is totally average and non-innovative for its genre, the choices you make have little to no influence, and it is annoyingly spoon fed to you in tiny bites at inconvenient real life time intervals. I think the graphic design in the screenshots drew me in too - you've already seen it all because the app contains the intro button, the text message screen, the one "puzzle" screen (not really a puzzle), and the menu/credits. This app seems like it is designed for people who enjoy clever and unique experiences, you know, something more interesting than yet another button masher or bird flinger or match 3 game. Unfortunately, the actual experience falls completely flat. I recommend you save your money and take a chance on the next thing that catches your interest instead, because One Button Travel is a complete dud.

This game is essentially a semi-interactive story, but presented in the context of a text message conversation. The choices you make in conversation seem inconsequential, although it's possible that they just don't highlight the affects of your choice enough. The stilted, stop and go feeling of the game is jarring at first. Just when I feel like I'm getting into the story, the "person" on the other side gets busy with something and the conversation ends. Later, you'll receive a text message-like notification that brings you back into the game, and you have to let your imagination fill in the gaps. In that way, it does feel like a special conversation slipped into your daily life. However there's little interaction besides canned messages, and so far, no puzzles or anything where I've had to truly engage. I'm enjoying the narrative and interested in how it progresses, but I would love more ability to explore and view the world of the game.

You, as the protagonist of an alternate dimension, start off the game by pressing a button. Immediately afterwards, a stranger from the future warns you that you shouldn't have pressed the button since it is a one way ticket to "hell".

The app is in the format of a mobile phone in which you get to communicate with the stranger. The game makes a fictional world come alive as you get to interact with the game on an intellectual and emotional level. Each decision you make can potentially change your destiny, and this in itself makes the plot line feel more real and exhilarating.

I highly recommend this game to those who are frequently entranced by fictional stories and scenarios. Not only is the game beautifully designed and developed, but is also a very unique approach to current day entertainment.

Interactive fiction is great and all, but to really hold you, you've got to feel that your choices matter, affect the world around you, have consequences-- that you've got agency. (Really, that's true of all games, right?) One Button Travel starts off promisingly enough, with an urgent message from a stranger in a future amusement park/gulag. Once you start interacting, however, it's clear that your future buddy is very much the protagonist in a story that you're witnessing from the sidelines while offering vague encouragements and low-stakes advice. Once you send your missive off into the void, the protagonist goes and does something, and you wait in something like realtime for the result.
The creators were aiming for the rhythms of real life, but the result is a stop-start rhythm that kills any sense of momentum in the opening beats and is rapidly squandering my patience as well. I'm sure I'll play on for a bit, but I suspect that, even though the game will develop, it won't deviate too much from this routine. If it does, I'll update this review.
