That version WORKS under Vista. The install folder is different. It seems to be the special setup for GOTD that won't work - not the game itself. How do we register that free copy of the game to get all the levels. It's similar to other games I have with similar levels but the kind of logic puzzle I like! I agree with #46 (oma40).

Next time it would be nice if it was stated what Os the game is compatible with. It doesn’t even start in Vista SP2, I downloaded twice to see if that was the problem.

Alas, I too am stuck with Vista. It IS great that the game works on older machines because there are still a lot of them about. Thanks GAOTD for bringing us a variety of stuff to try!

Not too challenging, but no complaints about the price. I won't complain about lack of Vista support since I have avoided Vista and plan to bypass it entirely for Windows 7. But those of you complaining about it, you could try out VirtualBox 3.0 which should allow you to run a virtual XP machine within Vista. This isn’t that bad of a puzzle game.

If you want 'really' decent games then why don’t you purchase them? (not that I'm saying some of the games given away here aren't decent because some are actually really good for, example Larva Mortus, Around the World in 80 Days, Turtle Odyssey 2, The Rise of Atlantis, Deep Quest, The Mysterious City: Cairo, The Mysterious City: Prague, The Cursed Wheel, Top chef, Archibald’s Adventures, Surikarta, Xou Dou Qi, Ghost in the Sheet, Ball 7, Jane’s Hotel and Jane’s Hotel: Family Business, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso, Bagh Chal, and many more. Not every game is going to please every one. If you feel so badly about the quality of the games offered, you should buy them instead. (I buy games every week if I really want them). To be honest there are so many amazing deals around just now, you can pick up 16 arcade games via Steam for only £25. Each game is worth nearly $20. for example you can get all three RIP titles as part of this deal separately for only a few dollars. The total price for all three games if you go for this deal is less than $2. They are also offering a whole fistful of DVD based games such as Bioshock for an amazing price. Fallout 3 is half price this weekend as well. What the game giveawayoftheday does (for me at least) is give me an opportunity to try out different genres. If I really like one of the games given away I'll purchase it because in my opinion it's the right thing to do. Game developers aren't putting out these games for free, they are there to make money. If no money is forthcoming no decent games are going to be made. Even those creating free games are (in the main) doing it so that it will hopefully give them a foot into the big developers corporations. Sorry for the rant; it just sickens me to see so much negativity; just because the game wasn’t what some wanted. Sorry for the Vista users. I dumped mine and returned to XP, but that’s not to say that developers shouldn’t make new software work with Vista. Thankfully most do. I tried transferring my installed copy of this game to my laptop which has Vista installed; (<em>I keep it on that one as I do like the interface and I’m not bothered about it not running everything I own</em>), but it wouldn’t even acknowledge that it was installed. Finally, maybe you’ll find something via the Games Synopsis.

I should read the comments before I take the time to download and try to make the games work. I use Vista on both of my computers. :( At least I learned something. *sigh* Well, that was disappointing.
