Most Original Game Since Okami
The graphics for this game are pretty bad, but if you own a DS, you probably aren't too worried about graphics. For the DS, they are pretty standard graphics, and look like a game that could have been made for the SNES. There really isn't a story at all, so if thats what you're looking for, look elsewhere. You collect stars, there is no reason given as to why, but you do. Basically, you are put on screen and given an objective and you must create objects to solve the objective. The only limits are your imagination, seriously. You open up a screen and type in the object you want to use and it appears on screen. They have over 10k items at your disposal, so if you and your friends play this game, you will each solve levels very differently depending on your imagination. There are two different kind of levels, there are puzzle levels and action levels. Puzzle levels are where you have to solve the objective while only using a certain number of items. While in action levels you just try to get to the end of the level where the star is hiding. There are 10 worlds, each world has about 20 action levels and 20 puzzle levels, and will take you a very long time to beat. The only downside to the game is that you use the stylus to move as opposed to the d-pad. This can sometimes cause your chacter to inadvetently kill himself, but its not too big of a deal since most of the game is trial and error anyway.

Worth Buying
This is one of those rare games were someone actually had an original idea. This game asks you to solve puzzles by thinking of objects that could help you. With over 20,000 words built in, you won't run out of objects to use. This game does get harder, so don't expect to finish right away. The nice thing is that if there are one or two puzzles you can't get in an area, you can still move to the next area. Also, if puzzles aren't you're thing, there are action levels, too. I actually spent about an hour on the main menu the first time I played. It's an open world for you to spawn anything from Flamethrowers to the Rick Roll guy. My only problem with this game is since you don't use the D-Pad to move around with, the character doesn't always go where you want. Your hand could brush the screen, making Max jump right into lava or spikes. Also, your collecting star like things, which isn't original at all. Overall, good fun game. Give it a try!

Best and Most Fun DS game ever
This game is probably the best game I ever bought. I spent at least an hour on the title screen alone, which lets you just mess around with the different things you can make with this game. The puzzles range from being simple and fun to challenging but rewarding, and you can replay the game an unlimited amount of times. The thing I absolutely hated about it though was the controls. The character, Maxwell, is just the most annoying thing you will find in the entire game. because moving and dragging around objects are both controlled with the touch screen, when you accidentally tap the ground instead of the rope you were trying to pick up, Maxwell ends up running right into that pit of lava. oops. Anyway, besides the controls, the game was GREAT! I would recommend this game to anyone of any age. This was the best game ever.
