Well, having had a bit of a go myself, I am actually a little disappointed. The devs are French (not that I hold that against them :narnar:) and I actually would have preferred the mod to be in French with English subs if they didn't think their English was up to the job. It sounds to me like what actually did was they *wrote* English and then passed it through a text-to-speech converter. It shounds really stilted and just doesn't flow right.

With respect to the game itself, the bits i've tried so far have been less of the 'very complex puzzle' variety (which was what I was hoping for), and more of the 'pixel perfect positioning' variety. I was hoping for real mind ben ding puzzles that took a lot of working out but once worked out could be done with a little leeway on positioning and the like. As far as I have seen so far, the puzzles have been reasonably easy to work out, but if you're the tiniest bit out with your portal positioning you don't get the momentum required in the available time/space to complete the puzzle.

There is always the expert and time trial modes in the origional game. There are some very hard ones in there that i still have not managed to beat in time, or in case of one of the hard ones at all.
 
Just remember, there is no cake, but i seam to recall a lot of fire.
