Will help you kill an hour or two. Some puzzles are clever, or make you feel clever. Some are meh. I got it for like a dollar or something and feel like I got my money's worth. I wouldn't buy it full price.

Although this game has been localized into several languages, some of the puzzles (3) can only be solved in English . Despite that, it's a good game.

I changed my mind a couple times as to whether to recommend this one. If you like games that mix logic with goals that aren't logical, it's probably for you. I did play through the whole thing, and I did enjoy myself, but some of these puzzles are crazy-making, because they either don't make sense or they over simplify things to the point of making me feel dumb for overthinking it.
