So there aren't any badges for finishing it? For shame.
Maybe in the future, if people like them. For now it's just an experiment :p

It was fun, it's just there were a few 'America oriented' clues that I had to google (which is standard for an American based gaming website I suppose).

I don't know why, but when I click on the link my Internet window stops responding.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or, does anyone know how to fix it?

Good crossword. Had to look up a few answers but at least some of it wasn't easy.

10 Across I can only guess at though.

3 Small suggestions.

I clicked a link and it went away from the page and I went back and had to start over...twice.
It would be good if it could save what you've typed after each word or something.

Have it only bring up the completed message when all the letters input are correct.

and there was something else but I can't remember what ><

14 and 10 across was guesswork, here, and.. well, it doesn't tell you whether you were right! That's kinda disappointing. :) Still, all in good fun. Another reason for me to be awake at 3 in the morning.

When you finish the puzzle, if everything's right, you'll get a popup telling you.

We'll post the answers to this week's puzzle when we put up next week's puzzle. (Assuming you guys want a puzzle next week, that is.)

Keep the feedback and suggestions coming - your comments are a big help in letting us know what needs tweaking.

No, I just filled the last few in with random letters and it said "congratulations" to me :]

Not sure if this is in the cards or previously mentioned, but a printable version would be nice.

A downloadable version would be nice.

EDIT: Printable (as stated above) would also be good but it would give a mess with all the correcting I think.

Either way people could check back what their entries were and if they got it right.

11 Across has too few letters, I can't fit my name in. ;)

32 minutes as time to beat :)

Gotta say that's the largest amount of X's I've ever seen in a puzzle.

Nice, but rather too American-centric for the Escapist, isn't it?

It was good, but some of those were nigh on unknowable without a googling for me.
