I don't really like this one so much, btw. The ending was kind of blah.

I really enjoyed the first few in this series, and spent a lot of time solving them. For some reason, with this one I played for only around 15 minutes before just using the walkthrough to see what happens.

I had the same reaction. I thought the cube was the best one...I still go "play" it every once in awhile because it is so charming. This one, not so much.

Same reaction as brain_drain. It was cute, though.

It seems that after playing the others, this was kind of predictable-easily won. I nailed it on my first try and was sad. Very cute though, the "falling in love" thing with the hearts was totally unexpected.

i cant seem to get the last 2 to max out. i dont like the paragraphs on the bottom. they seem like unnecessary explaination.

I love these games, even though I've never been able to solve a single one on my own yet. They're always so cute and inventive, and even if you mess it up, there's still lots of surprises in store.

It keeps locking up for me with this combination:

mechanical
architecture max
civil
aeronautics
environmental
electrical
computer
chemistry

It just ... stops.

The "alternative ending" is so much better than the normal one

The pun is crap though.
