Oh wow... had to stop playing this game after 10 minutes of non-stop reading and skipping dialogue with the stylus. What a bore fest.

Gosh, don't I feel embarrassed....! 
 
The amount of reading/fun ratio in the first 10 minutes (up to where I got) is not worth the hassle, imo. I am busy enough in my life that If a game does not captivate me in the first minutes then it's not worth my money and I'd rather play something else. 
 Also, I don't need to intellectually masturbate to games in order to feel special or smart, but hey, to each its own!

Love this game; art style, soundtrack and characters in particular are so unique. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult, but extremely enjoyable.

Sissel is a girl's name around these parts. I'm not entirely sure, but that dude with the weird hair and sunglasses seems at least semi- decidedly masculine. Oh well, languages and names, what are ya gonna do.

You're surprised that the opening and tutorial to a damn adventure game has text? Isn't it obvious that the start is going to be slower to introduce the story and gameplay mechcanics? Even most action games spend that long on setting up the plot before you get shoot things.
  
I mean...
Ten minutes? 
Seriously? Did you take your Ritalin before loading the game?

Beat the game within a heart beat.  Best fun I've had in an adventure game in a long time since Phoenix Wright 3....
 
Got a DS? Love Adventure games? Honestly, do yourself a favour and go get it.  You owe it to yourself to at least TRY it.

Very fun game, i'm on the last chapter right now but, the puzzles really don't get any harder than in this video, and the game really does love to hold your hand the whole way through (I reccomend skipping any of the hint text bubbles that pop up in the middle).
Very fun but I wish they'd gotten more complicated with the puzzles. Hoping this last chapter I have left to do has something hard in there.

Just beat it recently. Can't stop thinking about it. One of my favorite DS games of all time. Man, it's so good. This is the first time I've watched this quick look and I'm really glad Jeff and Ryan think its radical too.

This game is so good.

Animation, soundtrack, story, characters, everything.

Damn.
