The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 CupNot serious entertainment
2 CupsA reasonable game, worth a try
3 CupsA good game, worth playing
4 CupsA great game, well worth your time
5 CupsAn outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been under-rated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

Miami is a rough town: Crime, drugs, humidity... but for an enterprising male prostitute, all that matters is satisfying the clients and getting paid. The life isn't as glamorous as it seems, though, as you'll soon find out by guiding our man through one crazy night.

This game was originally created for The Independent Gaming Source's Adult/Educational Competition, which won 2nd place. Please note that this game is intended for mature audiences (17 years or older).

AGS Panel Review

"An amusing night in the pants of a male escort, you're bound to run into some weird puzzles (and weirder people). The worst that can be said is that there just isn't very much to do in the game and the subject matter may turn away younger gamers or people with good taste. If you're like the rest of us, though, you'll definitely give it a play!"

I had a really great time playing this one. It really does have a wonderful replay value. And I thought it was hilarious. Good work, and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I give it 3 cups. 3.5 in fact.
Very good fun, excellent graphics and interface and the author has thought through the gameplay.

Ahhh, I love these kind of games! In which I mean a game where ya just play and see how well you do, then think about what went wrong, and play the game again. Then you try silly stuff and see what happens (which I found very amusing).

Seems like one of those marmite games

The concept is interesting, but as a game it lacks the fun factor and things to do in general.

Very fun game. I think it deserves a higher score, actually. It was the most fun AGS game I've played in a long time.
It progresses mostly through dialogue rather than puzzles, unlike more traditional adventure games. A few puzzles are present, but are easily solved. The point of the game is in exploring the story paths and possible endings--a "choose your own adventure" sort of thing. It probably lost points for this from the AGS Panel, but I think it's a valid form of storytelling that, while more passive, is enjoyable in its own way.

Also, there's a lot of adult content (particularly of a sexual nature) in the game, but it never seems crass and distinguishes Back Door from many of the more cartoony AGS games.

An outstanding but short game. Highly replayable with some memorable moments. Don't let the 2 cup rating put you off, it's certainly worth a play so long as you're okay with the subject matter.

it was different...it kept me entertained and.....i shagged a bunch of people...what more could you want??!

Pretty high quality stuff. What it lacks in "gameplay" is made up by the replay value. And you will want to play it again, as you might not always get the "best" ending. All I can say is bravo. Bravo for the story, graphics, sound and the witty dialogue. Especially for the short time this game was made in. Put it on your "To play before I die" list.

ahah, a nice game with lots of funny dialogues and a good replayability factor. Recommended!
