Members have called you mad Claude; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.

My XL came with a charger. Why is that so? Is Australia different? We get a charger and the XL is the same price as the small one.

Very Easy

This is the only difficulty not actually selectable on the main menu by default. To play on "Very Easy", hold down the Back/Select button for a few seconds on the main screen (highlighting "Golden Theater"). After you hear a tone, select 'Easy' mode, which will now be Very Easy. You can switch between Easy and Very Easy as much as you want during the game.

• "Very Easy" comes with the capability of undoing your last move (up to 10 times) by pressing Back/Select during the level.
• This mode's Nightmare levels are the same as "Easy".
• Collecting a Mystic Pillow grants you 3 retries.
• Safety Bonus score multiplier of 2.0
• Power Drinks have a high chance of showing up on top of any block you pull out. These are more powerful versions of Energy Drinks, and allow you to climb 3 blocks at once for a limited time.

Excellent information. Thanks for that, I will remember it when I get to play it.

I am not all that sure how you got that from my post actually. I didn't really indicate anything except being someone ignorant, yet intrigued by the intricacies of the game. $20 is petty cash, so I am not sure I have all that much to lose. The responses here have essentially pushed me off the fence into a "YES" position.

• "Is it a puzzle game or is it something far more than that?"
• "Sounds like I would benefit greatly from using a walkthrough to get past the tough sections."

• "Not really sure that I do." (In response to liking block puzzle games)

  These are what make me believe you would not enjoy the game. Perhaps the story elements would make it up for you, but I personally wouldn't recommend the game to anyone who would want to suffer through the gameplay just for the story and presentation elements.

Fair enough. I do think you read a little more into it than I intended, but that is text for you.

The first comment wasn't informing, just asking. The second comment was more about my lack of skills, not my enjoyment. The third comment is just ambiguous on my part, non-committal of sorts, but still open minded. The story is what I am most interested in anyway, so yeah, it likely would make up for any gameplay components I may not love. Thanks for the discussion though.

Wow. That is very nice indeed. Is that a US product? I don't need any more 3DS', but it would be nice to have all the other stuff.

I loved it, but you shouldn't buy it.

I am intrigued by this response. Why wouldn't I also love it? Or perhaps I should just steal it?

Because based on your comments, it doesn't seem like something you'd enjoy.

Depends on if you like box puzzles I guess.

Not really sure that I do. I am not even sure I have actually played a box puzzle game. I think elements of Baten Kaitos had what I think this is, but I am not really sure. I feel it is incumbent on me to learn for myself. It is the only way to learn.

Definitely. I bought a copy for $20 and its worth that price. I was also inclined based on all the reviews and recommendations. One thing I noticed that was not mentioned in any press is that the game has an unusual pace. There is a whiplash between slow sections (the dating sim parts) with frustrating rage quits (the puzzle pyramid parts.) I totally didn't anticipate this and never ended up finishing the game because of it (although I found it satisfying and engaging and plan to go back and see how the story ends.) Worst case scenario if its not for you is that you can trade it in for a small loss.

Sounds like I would benefit greatly from using a walkthrough to get past the tough sections. I would rather occasionally cheat than stop playing.
