I had a friends girlfriend fall in love with it this weekend too and he's going to be buying it for her now also. Great game and thanks for the unexpected awesome valentines day gift! Keep up the great work! My Girlfriend loves this game, it was an unexpected valentines day gift for her and she keeps playing it again and again after completing it already.

When I cleared the screen it started playing up (literally) and the music froze. Then, upon a restart is forgot I actually got to the level I had gotten to. Now I make sure not to clear the screen. Otherwise, brilliant game :) Thank you. I had the same problem as #29. When I cleared the screen it started playing up (literally) and the music froze.

The link you provided below is for Dr. Mario for the NES, maybe you should look up Dr. Mario for the wii. http://www.nintendo8.com/game/495/dr._mario/ I say no replay value because all the boards are the same when you replay them, but I guess it does have SOME replay value, as like you said, you don't move the same ways. It's definatly better than tetris, but I'd much rather just play Dr.Mario(for the wii). (ofcourse I pointed out what someone else did, these are reviews...are you new to moderating?) ------------------------------Moderator comment........................ The post was directed at you and applement. Rather than repeat myself, I wrote my comment under your post rather than applement's - it would have been just as valid there as under yours, - no reason other than convenience. As for moderating. My posts are not just moderation, they are meant to be helpful and give advice,or in the case of your comment, replying. I used to post seperately evertime I needed to answer someones query, but that was very time consuming - you just have to look at the number of comments I make each time there's a game giveawaway. As for your question about whether I’m new to moderating...................... I’m always familiar with the software that’s being discussed in the comments section, I know the rules of the site, I’m very involved in the giveaway community, spending more hours than most in the forums, chatting to members and helping out where I can, I regularily check the console to ensure moderation is kept up to date (unlike the other side of the giveaway project, where you can wait several hours before a comment is moderated on a weekend), and I also have fun doing the job. In my opinion, these are ideal prerequisites to being a good moderator. Of course you won’t see a lot of what I do because it’s hidden from the communities gaze, however if I have to delete a comment, or edit it because the member has broken a rule, I’ll always try to explain why. ........................... So what do you think my answer would be to your question? I suspect you have fixed ideas as to what a moderator is supposed to do; thankfully I don't. :lol: @54 ~ If you’re going to other people (applement) please do it on thier posts not mine.

I've finished it a few more times since and the gameplay never gets any harder. Very easy to complete and could have done with difficulty levels and/or less bombs. It's much easier than Dr. Mario since adjacent bugs are destroyed without the need for them to be in a threesome also. You can stop the game at any point and your level position is saved. I'm using XP SP3 and since the first lock-up have had no more trouble. After the game froze at level 23, I restarted as a named player and finished all 42 levels getting “You are winner”.

I LOVE this game and would of liked to download it but I was in the hospital.

This made it aggravatingly difficult to click the buttons and advance to the next level. I eventually had to alt+f4 quit because I couldn't click the menu button.

There is no choice but to quit the game. The game would be better priced between $5 and $10. I think 19.95 is too steep for this type of simple puzzle game.
