irpacynot: the tutorial doesn't even scratch the surface. From the first proper level = mind blown!

I absolutely love this game, its so funny! On level 1-9, you have to hit these bottles and knock them all off to get the starlite. I spawned a ball, and accidentally hit the girl that was nearby instead. She got angry, and chased me around doing kungfu kicks, and knocked all the bottles down herself lol!! Very unexpected!
 
I'm totally blown away by this game!! I'll eat all my previous words about the DS not getting any decent games anymore.

This title re-invented the definition "Sandbox Game"...


9.5/10



PS: graphics suck as hard by the way...REALLY REALLY hard.... but it doesn't mind at all because the game is so brilliant.
 
I've spent more time playing on the title screen than i have doing the missions!

My favourite thing so far ive found to do:
Spawn cthulhu, put a saddle on him, ride cthulhu

Also, glueing a chainsaw to a badger

I'll give this a look, but I doubt I'll care for it much. Glad people are having fun with it though.

Not true at all. I just completed the first world and all its levels, and my opinion hasn't changed. Don't get defensive about my comments. I think the game is brilliant, and I'm really charmed by it, as I predicted I would be. But it's not without its issues. I guess you could ignore them and blindly accept how the mechanics function, but I wouldn't say I'm completely satisfied with the game in that regard. Again, though, I don't expect those things to hamper the experience for me in any major way.

I will say this, though, I'm NOT blown away by the game, though I was expecting to be. It feels almost on par with a Nintendo-produced DS game, but it also exhibits plenty of elements that are common from a rather green development team.

Fair enough, you are entitled to your own opinion. My point is the tutorial gives you the basics to get through those initial levels, while from the very start of the main game afterwards, you're limited only by your own imagination. E.g, on 1-9 I gave the policeman some cuffs, and the fireman a hose. The fact that anyone could have done that level using lots of completely different things is what makes it stand out for me. Plus the challenge aspect of redoing the levels over, using different tools, and seeing the different concequences keeps you coming back. Obviously it wont appeal to all, but its undeniably fun.
 
Been playing this game with my missus.

She absolutely loves it, as do I. It's fun seeing how our minds work differently as there are so many possibilities to complete a level.
 
I have the original R4 DS. Does this game require me to change the save type to the EEPROM 64 or whatever it is? I think thats why MY prof. layton save file got deleted, because I didn't do that. So is it required and if so how do I change it? Thanks
 
JESUS CHRIST! I just spent almost an hour playing on the intro screen!

Typed "wormhole" and a wormhole appeared.. after some time, a gargoyle came out of it. Then I typed "ninja" and a ninja appears, grabs a chainsaw on the floor and attacks the gargoyle!

I'm truly amazed with it.. and I haven't even started playing the "real game" yet!

Yeah I did spend quite a lot of time on the title screen. Just to see what I could come up with.

I really feel sorry for people who are disappointed. I think if I never had seen a DS system, this game would give me reason enough to buy one!
 
Was having trouble with a wasp and a fish on one level so I just spawned a ghost to kill them

Also spawned the devil to chase away some Halloweeners

This game is amazing. I actually really like the graphics as well

Surpassed my expectations thus far.
