Review
I associate Anssi Räisänen with the ALAN system and with well thought-out puzzles in a relatively compact game setting. I generally enjoy these games.
This game was pretty fun but its main attraction was also its main drawback for me.
The idea is that in this game, proverbs are magic. So something like 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' could (theoretically) transform a bird in your hand into two in a nearby bush (this example isn't in the game).
This is a brilliant concept and when it works out it works out well. For me, though, I had trouble trying to sift through all such sayings, even when a list of many of them was given. Also such sayings have variations, many including apostrophes (which aren't allowed). For me, the 'search space' of all possible sayings was just too big.
I am glad I played, though. Also, there are a few chunks that have just normal puzzles without any sayings involved.
