Here's a nice easy one to fill in a few minutes.

Hoshi Saga Ringo

It's Japanese (hence the weird name) but you don't actually need any instructions other than the one on the title page.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

I can't do stage 5 :( - done all the others except the last one which I can't access.

You have to have done all the others in order to access the last one.
For stage 5 it took me a long time to realise that there is a way in which you can turn each piece upside down if needed. That might help.....

Good game. Level 5 is quite tricky

I think you are meant to use logic to solve them but in my case it is click and hope for the best :)

stage 17 is causing me problems. I can see that the blue screen move up and down and the star is behind it but can't get the curtain to clear.

Bear in mind that the bottom curtain is a lot slower to close than the top one. :)

For those that enjoyed episode one:

Alice is Dead part two

Not quite as difficult, but perhaps more disturbing (if that were possible...)
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

I'm just getting "this page cannot be displayed". :( I quite fancied doing something "disturbing". Although right now nothing could seem quite as disturbing as being in an ICT lesson with 9G... :roll: I'm in such need of sitting slumped in a heap doing something meaningless that I have actually just put "Loose Women" on the TV and I'm actually watching it. :!:

It's quite easy. Just type in three words beginning with the given letter, although each subsequent letter has to include an additional letter you are given. It's amazing how blank your mind can go sometimes, especially against a time limit.

Not only that, but you can play it in French as well as in English! (If your vocabulary is up to it, of course. Mine certainly isn't...)
OK I have to stop... someone please stop me...
I'm now at the top of the leaderboard with 98 611 points. WHAT a waste of time. Can someone please issue me with some anti-obsessive pills please??? :(

You really shouldn't post things like that. Don't you know that there are some extremely competitive people on here who's families and friends will now see nothing of them until they've managed to knock you off the top of the leaderboard?!?!?!

The family and friends of such people will probably be extremely grateful. ;)
