Off-Site Reviews

Renga in Blue
This might be his peak in this style; every puzzle was reasonable to solve.

The Breakfast Review
The puzzles start off easy and straightforward, getting more complex towards the end. They're just hard enough, I think, to elicit that all-important sense of achievement that puzzle-solving has to evoke without crossing the line into being frustrating.

Doug's World
The final challenge is delightfully and absurdly complex, requiring the player to invoke nearly every spell they've learned in a carefully timed sequence.
