FINALLY done with this Big "F" Game, and guess what...?

OK, I know you want to know, so...here's how I beat the two 59-second screens:
1--Went through it several times at full screen (better to see the locations) to memorize the placement of the items.
2--Reduced the screen to window size, to shorten the mouse travel distance
3--Turned off ALL sounds, to avoid getting distracted by the "ding" as each piece hit its place.
4--Clicked quickly on the piece, then immediately placed cursor on the white space and clicked. (I'd lost time trying to literally "drag" the pieces into place.)

While it took me MANY game sessions to figure out how to solve the library, once I got all of the above elements working, it only took about 15 minutes to solve the western set. (Most of that time spent in the full-screen "memory" phase.)

The good news is that once you get past those two you will feel like you have all the time in the world to place 30 objects in 1:59!

If anything, after that I was bored stiff. The game is repetitious, and there is no "sleuthing" involved at all. I skipped most of the "dialogue" as it was unenlighteneing and stupid. (And what's with all these people making a detective clean up their rooms? Hah?)

The novelty of trying to figure out all the "stars" wore off in a hurry. It might have been more fun if that was a mini-puzzle within the game, and if the "celebrity" characters wre revealed someplace, perhaps before the credits, at the end of the game, as a kind of "reward" for enduring this misery.

I also give low marks to this game for all the stupid "dusting" screens. What the @#%!?

In short, I repeat that I think this game was invented by a doctor looking to increase his patients. It made my heart race and my blood pressure rise during the 59-second screens, and between repeating those scenes and the damned dusting, I nearly got carpal tunnel syndrome.

Worst $6.99 I ever spent. Clearly, I am an idiot or an obsessive-compulsive masochist for even bothering to finish the game. So, I need a doctor AND a shrink!

For this BFG, guess what the "F" stands for?
FFFFPHTTT!
