What players say
the one major issue i have with the entire series is that my brain is unable to sometimes click the correct button i want. i know what i want to do - but my brain just clicks the other mouse button and i get a mistake and have to redo the entire level. or my hand twitches and i click the wrong cell also i think some of the puzzles are too hard. i like applying rules, but this one leans too much into the "what if"...
