This is the first game that really got me hooked on purposegames, and is still one of my all-time favorites.

I miss a murder of crows. It's one of my favorite Simpson jokes!

I missed this game somehow, for 9 months.
What a great game.

I know about the request on the possibility of changing the background to an already created game.
I'll see what I can do about it.

It's in the comments, so it's certainly not necessary to re-do the whole game for this.
However, I think I remember a forum thread on the introduction of a possibility to change a game's background image without having to re-do the game. Maybe we should bring this up again ...
(Excuse me, David, I don't know how much work this will be. But it will be an invaluable improvement.)

Unfortunately caterpillars has a typo in the original set up which would require a complete re-do. Thanks for pointing that out. I changed the hint option also.

I think hiding the hints for the dots makes it take for ever to learn, if you, like me, don't know many of them from the beginning. I really like the game otherwise.

I'm always trying to learn collective nouns for quiz nights. Hopefully this will help them stay in my brain!
