Overall the game has some puzzles you've probably done before. While there is no Tower of Hanoi in this game, it's those kind of puzzles. Those are the in your face kind of things. The rest of it plays out like an old school adventure game; getting items, combining them, and using them for some purpose. Overall it'll probably run you a good 5 hours to beat which isn't bad. For me I'd say it is worth $20 but would probably feel better to most around $10. The story isn't great but it's there if you wish. The art and music are great but I think you can get a feel of that from the demo.
The whole game is done in Flash so you can easily try the demo at their site. All of the hints you'd need to beat the game are in the game although you have to play a little mini game to open the walkthrough each time. While you primarily use the mouse for everything, most of the mini games can be played with the arrow keys and space bar. I didn't realize this till later... some of the mini games are kinda hard with just the mouse!
