And getting from one hub lenny to another involves three or four screens of travel each, plus one or more traveling cutscenes, long ones, too. One of these hub areas in particular is extremely dark and confusingly mazelike, and I rued every time that I had to go back in there again. Luckily, you can skip the cutscenes with a tap of lenny the spacebar, but unfortunately you can't bypass any of the repetitive trekking. This could have been better handled by forcing you to find each location once but then making it available ever after via a single map-click (with no attendant cutscene). You Just Can't See Where the Game Is Going Where the mudbath analogy does apply is to the puzzles. The designers did a great job in placing the puzzles within the events and environment such that they don't seem at all out of context; however, the solutions to some of these puzzles are as clear as ... mud! For example, one puzzle requires you to make note of hard-to-spot symbols in three different, completely unrelated, locations and then use them appropriately in yet another completely unrelated location that's twenty-five screens away from any of the three clues.
