I loved this one, I have played every Glitch game up til this one, and this is the first one where I didnt have to use any clues whatsoever! That said, it’s still good and challenging and the puzzles were great! I’m only giving it four stars because my biggest criticism would be that there were several times in the game that I had the answer to a puzzle figured out (eg. the soda stain) but you have to do things in the correct order in order for it to work, so before I realized that I was bouncing all over the place wondering what I hadn’t tried, only to have to go back and talk to a toy again.

Great game but had to knock it down a notch because there was no access to hints so I had to go to YouTube to see how to pass the “gears” puzzle which made absolutely no sense. Even after watching the walkthrough. All the other puzzles were fair.
