But the author credited Purho so it's all good. Another similar game here:

Many accidents were avoided after the simple but useful explanation... :) Mimi This is totally cool...and reminds me of being a child, and my friends' parents telling us that there is "cartoon physics" and "real world physics".

I found this very refreshing and very accurate. I never thought about the lesson 3 (in that way at least), so thanks for bringing a new perspective to the game. I think one of the lessons you kinda missed is the user effort to magic ration. You can create amazing cool things in Photoshop (for example), but you really have to spend a lot of time learning to use the tool. In Crayon Physics the simplicity of the use versus the magic that happens from it a much higher. Thanks for the plug and a huge thanks for the analysis of the game.
