Mom let Corwin off easy, so that he only had to do his homework to get his 50th star. I was much meaner — Corwin was struggling on one mission and finally broke down and asked me to finish it for him. I made him say “Dad, you are the master!” afterwards. On the other hand, he got the star and 999 star-bits, the latter being very important because he needed a lot more star-bits to get to some of the other missions. I also showed him how to beat the “Rocky Road” mission, after failing at it myself for 90 minutes or so, but naturally realizing the key to victory shortly after giving up. The next time I tried it, I won on the second attempt. Afterwards, Corwin finished the primary game, defeating the main opponent.
Charles likes to help Corwin and I play. A second player can’t play the main character, but can provide quite a bit of help and do some things the main character can’t and Charles seems to enjoy it.
