    It's the best way to see the game if your not feeling smart enough.

    He's right, though.  What's the point in buying a puzzle game just to look up the solutions online?  He states in the walkthrough "just stick with it, you'll feel much better if you figure out the puzzles yourself", which is absolutely true.

    Trust me, I totally agree. That's does not make the "official walkthough" one bit less of a joke. To be fair, I did laugh right along with Mr. Blow.

    Yeah, really, listen to this guy. You do NOT want to ruin the puzzles for yourself, it just utterly defeats the point. You'll figure them out eventually. I've taken more than half an hour for some of them, but eventually, something just clicks and you figure it out, and it's a great feeling. I looked up the solution for a single puzzle piece, and I felt like a chump. It was in World 2, even. I figured the rest of them out myself.

    I got all the puzzle pieces except for 2 on the cloud level on World 1. Total BS. It stopped being fun. Jonathan can go blow himself

    This kind of thing really rubs me the wrong way because I should be able to play the game however I want since I paid him money to play it (I didn't actually buy it but you see what I mean.) He comes off kinda douchey.

    People are naturally free to do whatever they want.  But to me this game is like Shadow of the Colossus, if you use a walkthrough you are cheating yourself out of the experience.  There is nothing to do BUT figure out the puzzle.

    But yes, there is a limit to how long I'll try to figure it out....I just haven't reached it yet.

    What this game really needs is  "Hint through".

    I don't really find that very funny. I am legitimately stuck. Fun becomes frustration on that stupid Fickle Companion puzzle. I can't do it!

    I finished the game today, and I can't tell you all how great it feels to have completed each puzzle. My brain is officially blown. I'd like to see a longer, much more expanded game based on the foundation set by this game. Mr. Blow, you're up to bat.

    I have only just got the game, liking it so far, but I agree with buying a puzzle game and then looking at solutions immediatly, but if you get stuck for a long time and get frustrated, then its best to look it up.

    Lets see how far I get before I need solution.

    As far as i'm concerned the game is determined by if you never need the help of a guide. People that want instant gratification without thinking, this game is not for you!
