>sleeper6 "i tried looking at the color of the one before loading, but its not the same color when it shoots out." For some reason, the cannon changes color. I hope that I helped.

>RosnSC "#27 Lockett, you said “In other words, match-3s are not popular - Bejeweled and Zuma are.” Both of those games are match-3s, though different types, and are popular games. The general complaint is that the people who don’t like that type of game, don’t want to see mostly that type of game offered." And I was talking about the reason why we get all of these match-3s. It has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with management. >Geek Grrl(lesbian?) "Heck, there’s hardly ANY original games coming out anymore. You could say Half Life, Doom, Unreal Tournament and Halo are “all the same” because they are first person shooters. And there are similarities, but they are all still different." Games can be in the same genre and be different from each other. One FPS can have great level design and online deathmatch support, while the other can have horrible level design and be restricted to single player. Different FPSs require different strategies - for example, in Doom, all that the player really has to do is blow everything up, while Goldeneye 007 requires careful planning to outsmart enemies. Halflife has the Gravity Gun. Perfect Dark has the Laptop Gun. These games all differ greatly in gameplay. Match-3s, however, are, for the most part, simple repetitions of clicking, matching, and watching sparkly animations - there isn't much difference between them except for graphics and occasionally non-square levels. My point is that match-3s don't have nearly the variety that other genres do. You say that "not all match 3 games are alike", I say that about ten match-3s are different. "But mostly this is just about whiners complaining. It’s not enough to get a FREE game, it has to be something THEY want." Read the comments for the DoubleGames, erm, applications("game" doesn't really describe them) and then tell me that the people who hate them(99%) are all "whiners" because the...uh...programs aren't "something THEY want". My point in this comment is the same as that in my first - if a game isn't all that good, people can certainly say what they think of it. This game has dated graphics and gameplay, and is a "sequel" created by slapping a different logo on a game that was probably released a week earlier. That's not "whining", it's the truth.

I only get here a few times a week at most - kicking myself on missing some of the good games that were available. This one is unfortunately not one of them. It is not bad per se but he voice has got to go >.< Game play is simple and repetitive and for most of the modes expected. For this version of the clone of a clone of a clone (oy vey) the only things new (?) would be some of the colouring and details of the bals/bubles/stuff. The puzzle mode is not all that different from the arcade modes.... I really don't like my puzzles with time limits, they cease to be puzzles. My suggestion on the puzzle section is a score based on how many bubbles it takes to complete with a bonus for time taken - yup low score wins XD Hows that for a creative suggestion as opposed to whining? =P Have fun, download and delete what you despise. Toodles

some game 'developers' have no idea the quality of free games out there and feel they can create refuse such as this and charge an admission price. no. thank. you.

#15 Laura--I agree! For one thing, not all match 3 games are alike. I never thought I'd be interested in playing this type of game, then I downloaded Motezuma's Treasures by Alawar. I also love Quest for Atlantis. So sometimes a game is worth downloading because just because it's the same genre Heck, there's hardly ANY original games coming out anymore. You could say Half Life, Doom, Unreal Tournament and Halo are "all the same" because they are first person shooters. And there are similarities, but they are all still different. But mostly this is just about whiners complaining. It's not enough to get a FREE game, it has to be something THEY want. There's a lot of games, including this one, that aren't for me, but how many games do you really NEED? If every game that came out was something I wanted, my hard drive would be full by now!!

#12 Barbara S, along with the fact that your comment context is something we all read here every single solitary day, and is soooo redundant I will add this to #20's (Lockett) comment, and that it is only free for one day; after that it is full price. Would you want to pay full price for something you just read a bunch of negative comments on? #27 Lockett, you said "In other words, match-3s are not popular - Bejeweled and Zuma are." Both of those games are match-3s, though different types, and are popular games. The general complaint is that the people who don't like that type of game, don't want to see mostly that type of game offered.

Sure would like to hear more likes & dislikes about the games and less likes and dislikes about other peoples comments about their likes & dislikes of the games. That said....I was really happy to see AB2 cause I hoped it would be better than AB1 but other than some extra options, game styles etc. it works just like AB1. Basically you can't get real far into the game....and naturally you can't save. So if you don't like AB1 you more than likely won't like AB2. Thanks GGOTD cause if you hadn't offered it I'd never know.
