	Liked the 30 or so min I played it but seriously I did the first 2 puzzles and the Gnome one easy. But the Room Key and Rubber Bands I didn't get at all. Room one I just don't get how to look at it even with the hints and the Rubber Band one I didn't know I had to make a continuous one. Maybe I didn't read well enough for it. About to look up the answer for the room key. /rant

	Any word on whether the wiiware version will hit next Monday or not? Though I suppose that's up to nintendo so I'll ask this instead: Is the telltale end of the wiiware version done and ready to go?

	Comment by BoneFreak July 1, 2010, 7:55 pm

	Whoops, nevermind, I see the demo link, but for some reason the Puzzle Agent site is messed up.
	Comment by BoneFreak July 1, 2010, 7:57 pm

	Comment by wharpua July 2, 2010, 6:41 am

	great game keep it up
	Comment by mightypiratetm July 3, 2010, 8:07 am

	Don't forget these reviews! GameSpot 6.5/10 Puzzle Agent is cute and charismatic, although its puzzles leave something to be desired. IGN 6.0/10 Yes, Puzzle Agent is a nearly lockstep Professor Layton clone, but unfortunately its puzzles are not as good as its inspiration’s stumpers. And that’s what ultimately undoes Puzzle Agent. Joystiq 3/5 If you're going to crib enough to be compared to a franchise as solid and beloved as Professor Layton, that's got to be a comparison you want to invite, and one to which you can stack up well. Poor Nelson Tethers just can't.

	@ Yonk Seriously? The reason TTG didn't add those because they painted a slightly negative picture of PA.
	Comment by RingmasterJ5 July 3, 2010, 8:29 pm

	@ Ringmaster Hence my reason for posting them.
	Comment by ToastMan July 3, 2010, 10:36 pm

	@ Yonk What's your problem with PA?
