i havent played this game since i was a child because it is a video game for children, but i remember it being the crown jewel of the 'super solvers' world... and YES, i am including the "treasure" games as well (mountain, mathstorm, cove). you have to build weird vehicles & vessels and do puzzles involving magnet polarity and you just kind of run around as well. no i am NOT consulting a youtube longplay to jog my memory. this is an honest review.

i cannot say if i would recommend this now. unless you are a child but then you'll have trouble opening up dosbox or whatever compatibility modes im sure you;ll have to fight with to play this game because youre a kid with a computer that doesnt have a 'turbo mode' button on it... its still pretty fun though. educational games used to be pretty sick.

if youre an adult you should be playing metal gear solid or cool twine games or bayonetta. you either learned physics and mechanical engineering basics or you didnt. its too late to change your course at this point. youre already floating downstream without a paddle on this river we call life. the little faceless super solvers protagonist is cool.
