This looks like such a blast!

I would expect stop motion *specifically* to be fairly uncommon though, just because it's an uncommon form of media and recognizing it as stop motion, rather than just 3D animated, might be a harder mental connection to create.

This 100% my opinion with no backing evidence, but I'm pretty sure it's normal to try a variety of activities, including wanting to create things, at that age, and to want to imitate things they've seen, so if they've seen stop motion and realize that people made it, I could see them trying it out

Ah, I did notice the riddle's order, but I didn't think of the middle picture being a "path", I just thought it was a forest and therefore got lumped into "mountain" 😛
That said, upon 235 not working, I likely would have thought "maybe that *is* a path" and tried 325 soon after.

All I could think of so far as well

Ahh, well that does make sense, but ugh, I'm sorry you have to go through *any* of that. My wife went through something similar and it was just so *frustrating* that there wasn't a better way.

Heck, really sorry to hear that 😞 What happened with the first med?

Oh my gosh, I played the shareware Pickle Wars *so* much as a kid! I'd never have expected to see anyone posting it.

Oh wait, I just remembered that Expelled! is a 2025 game! I have no idea how well-known it is, but it should absolutely be even better known!

I mean, Key Gunner came out in 2025 and is extremely lesser-known... 😁
But yeah, I was already beaten to Seance and Promise Mascot Agency. Heck, I still really want to finish Blue Prince even though I think I made it way past where most people stopped, even though it's already my GOTY.
