Fouttaf Score
Dimension: 5
It may only seem like a compilation of puzzles, but it takes quite some of effort to create such narrative and story.
The Flair: E
The captivating drawings and the soundtrack are exquisite and undoubtedly give the game its uniqueness and personality. Artistically wonderful.
The Feel: C
The gameplay in the end is a compilation of unrelated standalone puzzles blended into a story. It's simple but it works really well and even more so with the NDS.
The Fuel: B
The selection of puzzles is varied and nice, while the story is a bit dull and sort of childish. The picarat score system is a bit bland and it feels like a big let-down that you don't get to solve any of the story-related mysteries by yourself.
