Sounds like a typical Finnish name, but I could easily be wrong, not being at al fluent in the language. Still, I'll check in the dictionary.

*hold music playing*

Okay, so nothing came up. It's probably a friend of the creator or something. I think I take things too literally sometimes.

Well, one of the makers is called Tuomu Hirvonen, so maybe the Tunkku bit is the trying to be funny. But since it didn't strike Juni as particularly funny, I suppose it's a rather feeble attempt.

By the way, is there any way to pause the game?

@Thornwood: I'm Finnish, I should know if it was actual name.

@A.J. Raffles: It's Tuomo, not Tuomu, but to answer your question: nope. And how can't you beat Kuomo Tunkku???

Tuomo may have a nickname Tunkku, which refers to bad smell or something.

Because I was trying at "no spoon" setting with a touchpad. This really is a game you have to use a mouse for. It's very annoying that you can't pause, though.

[Juni Ori]

Well, that explains. And pause thingy, I agree.

[Thornwood]

Yeah, nickname sounds about right. Their nicknames tend to go along the lines as Endo->Emppu and Henri->Henkko.

Cool game. I was playing it one night while I was still in Finland (A friend of mine told me about it) and now I'm downloading it here. Maybe my Mom might even like it; she's a fan of those puzzle games you can do when you have a few spare minutes. Likely she would beat all the high scores and make it impossible for me to beat hers   .

[A. J. Raffles]

As soon as she gets good at it it'll take her more than a few minutes, though.

Ok, i have to say something

First of all, i'm very happy that many of you liked Neuralplay. And even more happy that Abandonia has accepted it into it and there is actual evaluation which has been made (thanks for the evaluator).

"Kuomo Tunkku" is just finnish "work inversion"-from "Tuomo Kunkku" (Tuomo the king). I know its very stupid, but you have to remember i was very drunk when i finished this game (Thats why the game itself has so many stupid jokes (spoon thing, etc. (matrix really impressed me back then))).

Hmm, maybe i should make another puzzle if people would actually enjoy playing it?

Tuomo

ps. Sorry for my bad english.

[A. J. Raffles]

Oh, good to see another game maker has found his way here. Welcome.

Tuomo, I just have to say that Neuralplay is excellent time killer, which takes almost always a little more time you planned to kill!

Pff! I may not know enough Finnish to conquer the world just yet, but I'm working on it.
By the way, it should be "Menschen", because it's a plural - unless you only meant to address a single person, in which case I'll raise your warn level straight away...

I also enjoyed Neuralplay, but I just found it got a little too long once I got better at it. Playing it with a touchpad is still a pain, though.

[Juni Ori]

Well, true, I should've known that, my bad, eek...

And yeah, it's true: when you get even little better, it gets a bit too long.

[Juni Ori]

Hehe, "Nerualplay"!
