Wonderful
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

It's a great and nostalgic time for casual gaming. My one critique is the bouncing of Nubby on the pegs feels bad most of the time. It would be much improved with an actually physics engine, something like Peggle! But putting together a good set of items feels great, and beating he challenges is awesome. I wish I could use the different Tony's in the challenge mode too.

The expiration date challenge is awful in the latest update, I feel like it was actually beatable before.

Addiction is so much fun

Nubby's Number Factory got me thinking: Maybe addiction as a concept is not inherently bad because you are just spending time for the sake of bare minimum entertainment, you're not looking for something truly special after the first 10 hours you play this, it is like meditation in a way, you just give yourself to the waste of time, like going on a food diet but for the mind.

And for it to be able to be one of the few things on planet earth strong enough, designed with enough charm to possess me to even think that wasting my time is GREAT. That is an accomplishment.

Telling yourself: This is a really good tasty cup of water. Did you know that if you put 2 ice cubes in this cup of water, it kinda tastes better? I don't know if its a placebo thing but I am taking it into consideration that there are better ways to have water and usually it involves a glass cup.
