Verdict
The graphics are great, the storyline is funny and the game delivers on its promise, but some people might find 200 levels a little bit much. Every gamer wants to get to the end of a game. If you are not into long puzzle games but want to get to the point quickly, the game is underwhelming. Sometimes it feels a little like Tetris, but requiring some clever game plan. If you love puzzle games that require strategic and logical thinking, then this would be a great game for you. Overall, if we were to score the game out of 5 it would be worthy of a 4+.
