A couple of really great puzzles which can be a lot of fun to think about. However, I'm not sure if it's a translation problem or if it was made to be intentionally difficult, but the "common phrases" just end up being complicated. Instead of "eyes bigger than your stomach" it's "have eyes bigger than ones stomach" which I've never heard used once and strays far enough away from the common phrase to make it too frustrating to continue if this is what easy looks like.

The game is fun, but like any game based on "common" phrases, there are some that are more familiar in different dialects or regions than others. For example, "Can't spell for toffee" is obviously more common in Britain than in southern American states. Overall, the feeling of stepping away for a day or two, then coming back and seeing the answer immediately is very satisfying, and much cheaper than paying for coins.

The dark souls of puzzle games. Brutal, and at times unfair. Already, the concept in and of itself provides a challenge, but when you throw in oddly phrased idioms, or phrases that are hardly ever in use any more, it can make the entire play grind to a halt. It is essentially required to spend coins to pass, unless you want to lose your sanity. While the concept is good, I would not reccomend.
