What Laura meant by "outer ring" being "hopelessly deadlocked"?
Fair question - I meant it was at a positon where to get it straight you'd have to re-work through a lot of the puzzle and back track. Of course if there had been a re-set feature I could have started over, but since there wasn't and this was also unexpected, I would have had to go back to the vey beginning of the Mayan level as I had a large time gap between saves. The lack of a re-set feature is to me a design choice that was not well made.

The puzzles weren't the only flaw, The voice work, some stilted character movement., the weak ending. but they all took what would have been a classic fun game down a bit. I can appreciate you were more forgiving of these flaws. Some gamers will be the same. But, many will not. I have to look at a game from the sense that people are trying to decide whether to buy a game. If it's in there and it's gonna make people crazy - it needs to be said.

I also think there are a lot of engaging parts to the game and said that as well.
