first off I think everybody did well and presented us with a great set of riddles. mishu great riddles as usual and threw in a couple of very original levels especially the flag level. bronwyn again a logical riddle not too hard to be honest but had some nice levels. grego I found this not very logical and was very under clued. However it was a nice riddle with good ideas probably should have beta tested it first. boke very logical riddle with innovative ideas was very hard but everything was there to solve the levels really enjoyed this riddle 30 nights wow what can you say stunning graphics and a well thought out riddle some nice ideas also.Can't say I enjoyed last level because I didn't do it lol clee this was a well presented riddle didn't really see anything new but I found it was a little under clued in parts. jon I liked this riddle a lot probably because I like cryptic crosswords however I know people will mark this down on hardness scale and can see that for non english speakers this was a nightmare however for me the clues were there lol sleepy+damar Again I liked this riddle nice logical levels thought the riddle reminded me of another in the format so not very original in that respect However some good original ideas in there especially sudoku circle. linkin well this riddle was extremely under clued this was a nightmare to do there are only so many google pages you can look at before you quit.It's a shame really because if he had put more clues in ,it would have been a decent riddle.Also wasn't keen on the redirects stumbling on some dodgy websites.I gave a 3 for logic because it was when you had enough clues.Another that would have benefited from beta testing.

Sorry for the late ratings, I have finished the riddles some time ago but didnt have time to sit with myself, review them and give scores.
Well, here it is, along with some short explanation of how I got the grade for each riddle.
Jon - Crossword idea was original, some of the clues are too hard and cryptic. I had to guess some of the answers at the end based on the letters.
Bronwyn - Quite basic ideas, had 1-2 original ideas. Not hard, perhaps good for beginners. Few pics, no theme.
Mishu - I usually like his riddles, and this one was no different. Good original levels, hardness level was above average, but everything was solvable with logic. Few pics, no theme.
Grego - Good story line, but it was a bit confusing language wise. Some levels were quite basic, some were harder, some were not so logical.
Boke - Good riddle, many original ideas, last few levels were tricky and exceptionally good. Few pics, no theme.
30 Nights - The best presentation out of them all. He really invested in the graphic of the introduction and ending, with a good humor. Pity this story was not incoroporated into the levels as well. The levels themselves were good, but some were tricky and not totally logical. One of the final levels (the luigi one) was toooooo exhausting.
Sleepyhead and Damar - Good logical riddle, not too hard but challenging enough. Nice theme of a house with rooms, but no story involved.
Clee - Nice layout with good pictures that give a good mood. Some levels were good and logical, some were streching the logic too much hence making it a bit too difficult. A bit more hints in it might have solved this problem
Linkinpark - what can I say, I stopped after 5 levels. I am sure the ideas are original, but without any hints it was impossible to advance. It required very huge spoilers to pass, and you dont get the satisfaction of the "ohhhh, so logical" moment after solving them.
