    this is another series of really fun - thinking - games. We've found free versions in many places but have never bought the full deal.

    Wait until you have to get up the hump. My children are laughing at me and how pathetic my poor contraption looks as it falls on its "back." Grrr...

    Oh, you are evil, Kriston.

    Highly additive and very fun. I went through a few examples in the tutorial and have only made it up to The Wall, but it is great fun. I think the people that designed the Martian Rovers must have made this game. They use the same form of wheel/axle assembly that I seem to use to get over most of these early challenges. Very amusing!! I will definitely show it to DS tomorrow.

    And now back to the game... whistle
