THE GOOD:
The puzzles are easy and fun to solve. The bosses are easy to beat if you have a lot of commen sense... or strategy guide. The controls are very simple and it is a fun game when you get the hang of it.

As said before, I like the strategy of solving puzzles, and completing objects to make something else happen (for lack of better words). I would get this particular game for a younger sibling or child, than...
