    Great game - on top of the various levels you can act out almost any situation on the playground level, when you've finished foxing it.

    The one bad point is that everything is controlled by the stylus, which means that if you're trying to attach a car crash victim to a helicopter you'll end up putting the rope in a bystanding tent. Also, some objects don't do the expected thing due to overgeneralisation.

    Tip: Action level 10-11 is the solution to all your Ollar problems (and don't worry, you can unlock it relativitely easily)!

    While the game has an excellent premise, it suffers from the same problem that most sandbox games suffer from - too much freedom. I gave up after a few levels where the goal was not made clear enough and thus, because you have freedom to do whatever you like I could never figure out what you were supposed to do to solve that particular puzzle.

    The other minor gripe I have is that it's not always obvious what you're going to get when you ask for an object (e.g.) Raft gives you two choices with exactly the same details, but different types of raft.

    I would have given it 2 stars if it wasn't for the nice little easter eggs, like the teleporter, or Cthulu!

    A great game to start with but as you play some of the levels are just too hard. If you've played Drawn to Life this is simlar but there's more to do. The controls are a bit tricky but apart from that it's good.

    At first, this game is really great. Completely original, and you can actually make everything. The big let-down, however, is the control scheme. All controls are done using the touch screen, including walking about, jumping, equipping items, getting rid of equipped items and interacting with other items. Many of these share the same stylus motion, so the game seems to guess which you want, usually wrong. Click on somebody you want to shoot, and the game think you want to walk to them, so you get beat up. Wanna jump? This game thinks you wanna unequip an item.

    It's really sad, if the control scheme wasn't so hard to use, this game would be perfect. The items are seemingly infinite, and they interact seamlessly. The controls are a huge problem, 80% of the time you'll fail will be due to the game not doing what you want it to do.
