Advantages: more features even after completing game

Disadvantages: music can get annoying

I absolutely loved this game from the moment I played the demo and ordered in a copy from America as I didnt want to wait the whole summer and actually got it cheaper than buying it in England.

The story of the game did start off quite slow but soon picks up pace and you do find yourself playing more and more to get more of the story to unfold and you will find your self addicted.
That said, it is possible to put the game down and go back to it a few weeks later and just jump straight back in after a short recap.

The puzzles themselves vary in how challanging they are, from finding the right path in a maze to solving riddles and sliding blocks back and forth to find the way out, and if you do get stuck you can use your hint coins to try and help you solve the puzzle.

I was also impressed with the cartoon quality of the whole game especially the videos with the sound considering the size of the ds.

This is a great game for those who like puzzles and like something they easily pick up and put down again.

Summary: fun puzzle solving game alongside a story
