This is one of the few titles that I have actually played to completion! I loved the variety of puzzles and the aspect of the meta puzzle, meaning that each puzzle you completed revealed a new piece of the final puzzle. I have also played many of Cliff Johnson’s other puzzle games. The one I didn’t get very far on is “A Fool and his Money.” The Flash crash was the culprit there.
