Okay, so I felt like playing a spoof first.

Good opening. Cute scenario, although rather weak on verbs and synonyms. (You'd think that "crack whip" would work.) The "full score" gag was done better last year in Enlightenment, but it's still good.

I got through the first puzzle by more or less trying everything. Then I was stuck. I tried to try everything again, but apparently I didn't try hard enough, because I'm still stuck. Oh well.
