Excellent and Simple.
I just joined Newgrounds because I needed to say that this admission is wonderful. I've played several games like this, including Mystery of Time and Space, and the idea of this being stolen is ridiculous. Uses of clocks and wheels in games is a staple, and if you're looking for pure originality then keep in mind that even Pong was borrowed. I have to say that I really liked playing this game and can't wait for another one. Highly recommended. And for a quick question: what's the point of the wisdom crystal in the attic?
