This is the paid version of a game also released in a free version that gives you a taste of the game. This version is well worth the cost and and enjoyable game to play. I was quite obsessed with it and frustrated I got through it so quickly in the end...although I won’t say how many hours I spent on it!

Once you’ve learnt all that the bot can do, the main work you have to do is puzzle solving in this game. Puzzles such as how to release a trap door to get to the next stage, or how to slot a coin into a section to open a door, but then get that coin out again when needed. Even near the end, when you lunch yourself towards a baddie in a pop-gun, you might wonder whether it is going to have any success.

Some may find this a bit frustrating. Sometimes you’ll sit back and watch as you move quickly from one scene to the next, only to find that you were needed to have acted just near the end. That said, the fact that the game saves at various points, means that you can easily repeat the part you just failed on.

An example of this is one section where you end up sitting in a car driving from scene to scene, jumping all over the place. “This is cool”, I thought...”what can possibly go wrong?”...these being the last words I though as suddenly the car disappeared from under me and I fell into the abyss with it. OK, next time...remember to jump out at the last minute!

It really is a game that requires some figuring out and needs you to remember what worked and didn’t work last time...and this may be what frustrates some.

That said, I loved it! The Developers website say that Diary Entry 2 will be released as an entirely new game, so I can’t wait.
