All in all, nice game.

Good luck on your level building. Let me know when you’ve made and uploaded one and I’ll check it out

I played a demo of Reaxxion yesterday. It has a few wonderful ideas (like the fluid metal thingy you play with, the Reaxxion mode and the overload event) but after playing a few levels it got a bit boring.
Magic Ball 3 was a nice one, too. The only thing is, as you said, that it is far too easy.

In RI I am playing the Delta Quadrant episode at the moment, after that I will jump into the thousands of usermade levels – and maybe I will try to create some myself

For those who had this problem and did not uninstall it using the uninstall feature may I suggest you download the version from the Alawar site and see if that cures the problem. If it doesn’t, try installing it several times. That worked for me the first time I had this problem. You can read the comments on the Alawar site where I reported this problem then later posted to say it was resolved.

Another point that may be of interest to those that like the Hyperballoid game; if you download the Hyperballoid golden Pack from Reflexive:

open up the installed demo and cut all the game packs DAT files from the games folder that aren’t present in the complete pack and then paste them into the version that was given away yesterday, you may have a surprise in store when you boot up the game. I know the DAT files are transferable in the full version ‘paid’ for games as I have both now, but not sure whether you can with the Demo, although I transferred the two free packs {brick match and survival} from the demo version to the golden pack when I first bought it as I couldn’t be bothered searching through all my DVD’s (which are not very well indexed) to find my bought copy of the complete edition, so just downloaded the demo so that I could install then transfer the free packs.

to the game giveaway moderators if the above paragraph is deemed too sensitive, please delete the paragraph and not the whole post as I think the rest of the post may help some get this game working properly. Thank you.. I have included it here for information only.

There is a way to save the Games to(lets say an external harddrive) so you don’t have to store them on your computer. However, if your computer chrashes and windows must be reinstalled, they will be lost. and they will not run on any other computer.

1. you should use an external harddrive and on one of its partitions you create a folder ‘Programs’ or whatever name you like.

2. When you install a giveaway of the day, you connect your external drive to your computer before. Usually the installer will ask you for a destination folder and then you tell him this folder on your external harddrive. Thats all.

3. When you want to play, you have to connect your harddrive to your computer and thats it.

4. Finally there is one tip what you can try, after your computer crashed if you don’t want to loose all the games from GOTD. If you run windows setup on your crashed system: do not make a complete new installation but try to make a repair installation instead. Then chances are good that your games will stay preserved on your computer.

Finally a word about the game:

Very nice ideas have been realized in this game. sound and graphics are ok. But what I always don’t like in Alawar games: There are times that are boring and nothing will haben and then there are times when too much is going on on the screen. Timing of the action needs improvement.
