If you think FRUSTRATION is fun, this is for you

I really wanted to like this game. Its beautiful, original, clever...but it is way too frustrating. I think it is a combination of the controls being imprecise and the high level of difficulty. Having to go to the hint book after spending a LONG time trying to solve the "puzzle" (substitute self imposed torture) and finding that it was something you had tried is not fun, just aggravating.
