If you get on a skateboard in that one, then you can go fast enough to grab the Starlite before it burns up.

Starlite? I'm pretty sure there's no l in the proper spelling, or do they change it in the international version for some reason?

I hear the word "crusader" does not work, is that true?

Feh! I summon a piece of sodium and dump it into the water and what happens? Nothing!

How long is it? Does it it end fast or does it last?

About 20 puzzles/levels in one group, there are 10 groups and each puzzle can be replayed twice (normal and advanced mode).

It's a fun little distraction, but even a little imagination lets you solve most puzzled with trivial ease (zombies? Summon a stealth bomber...). The game's true power comes from taking absurd/awesome roads to solving some of the problems, like the Post 217 situation described earlier.

BTW, you can summon the LHC. It creates a black hole when fired up :D

Given how the game is laid out, it sounds like there are many way's to do thing's which is cool. I honestly through this game would be a bit of a failure but I seem to be proven wrong.

Are there any "pop culture" references in the game. They cannot use anything copyrighted of course but are there like, nods to various thing's?

There's some 4chan nonsense; 'no wai' gets you an owl, for instance.

Aha, that is quite good. I don't like games being full of meme's and parodies but it's somewhat nice to see little nods. If I get another DS, I may just buy this.

You can buy the cartridge, rip it and play it on PC if you know how.

EDIT: You need to borrow a DS to do that, though, unless you have access to some developer gear :D

Is that totally legal? I mean I'd love to do it but I don't really have the skill and I am not sure on the risk. On top of that, does your mouse simply replace the stylus etc?

If you buy the cartridge, it should be perfectly legal (though it depends on local law - I know it is in Poland). A friend of mine did it for me, though, so I have no idea how it's done precisely.

Hell, depending in the local law, you could probably just download a pre-ripped cartridge, as long as you have bought the game: remember that in most cases, it's the license to use the software that you buy, not the game itself. I'd recommend checking the relevant regulations, though.

And yeah, your mouse replaces the stylus. It's a bit more awkward than on the DS, but perfectly functional.

Ahh OK. I will search around online for this as there must be some guides or tutorials for it. I will look into local law stuff. I should not be too bad as long as I do not pirate it and such but you never know.

As you played the game via PC, did you have an issues with it? Like, is there any common bug's, glitches etc that you came across or did it run smoothly?

I wouldn't bother. It's a legal grey area no matter how you spin it, and DS emulation is only barely working. You're much, much better of with the actual console and game card.

Also:
Is there any common bug's

I apolagise for my lack of grammar. I keep making mistakes like that yet I am trying to improve it.

Also I wil consider it. I DO want a new DS anyway though, or maybe a DSi.

I've been playing the game each day since its been out for a few hours a go, and so far I'm only through the third world (I've been making sure to complete every single challenge and puzzle stage). So yeah, it's got quite a bit of playability unless you do absolutely nothing else.

Ahh that is cool.

I do hope this kicks off more people to make games like this. A bit more creativity in the gaming market besides EVIL SHOOTER XXX would be great and could lead to other ideas. The tech is there ,its just grabbing a good market and making good ideas like these.

I love what happens when you put a communist and a capitalist next to each other. For some reason I just can't get enough of the capitalist running away like a sissy girl when the communist comes and rips up all his money and beats him to death.

Doesn't work with socialists, though. Socialists just ignore them both.

I solved one level using two communists and a capitalist.

I am sorry to drag it off topic but could you explain how you did that and what the puzzle was? I am really interested.

Communists and capitalists.

I've been throwing words at it for days and *most* common nouns are in there. The only ones it has missed are crusader and pacifist; hippie is in there but unfortunately he doesn't respond at all to "soldier". That would have been fun.

Spoiler
There was this grandfather clock that I had to catch, which moved around if I came near it, and the only way to stop it was to put something where it would otherwise move. I could have used elephants if I wanted to, but I chose communists.

No fascists either. :( And dictators just look like kings.
