<description><![CDATA[# 33, Swan:
FWIW, a small follow-up.

(About the low resolution of the game...)
"I play all games with the resolution set at 1080 x 760 and the graphics as basic as they are, appear really clear and quite professional on my Windows XP machine."

Your screen resolution is downsized in the game. It will not use 1080 x 760, it's more like 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 (tops).

The difference in quality is evident when you are used to play games in resolutions of 1024 x 768 and up (with at least a 32 bits color depth), like I do most of the time.

No biggy; it's still a good &amp; playable game. But, I just want more (eye-candy) from a game, I'm personally way past the DOS-like graphics in games. Me wants more... ;-)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It looks like it's right up my alley but it doesn't work with Vista. I installed it on my desktop and I get an appcrash every time. I tried to install it on my laptop and it gave me an error and wouldn't install. 

I may try to put it on one of my XP machines. 

GGotD is the best! I've downloaded some games that I really love. I'm addicted to Roboball and may buy it so I can play it on my other computers!

Thanks for the fun and games. Hopefully I'll find some more that work on Vista. :-)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have XP home, 900MHz, 512 ram, 45 gb hd with 1/4 of it still available and I'm getting an error message that tells me to check system requirements. 
I exceed the requirements. Does anyone have any ideas why the game won't play? Is there a workaround? Thanks]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Carol, comment #30, thanks  for your kind words; they are appreciated.  PAMELA  if you haven’t already done so, check back to the comments section for the  Ronin Solitaire giveaway, on the 7th May and look at my comment #52 for my Email.  The CSI game is still yours if you want it, although I probably won’t send you the case as it adds a big extra to the postal costs.  :).  It took the GGAotD team over a day to moderate the comment lol, however I did post it towards the end of the giveaway period for that particular game..  

I do agree with The Belgian Dude to a certain extent with respect to the quality of some of the games offered by the previous 2 giveaway distributors; however your main argument is a little flawed, or more correctly is only half the story.  We are ALL winning with respect to these giveaways.  Okay, we don't often get the top notch games.  (although the recent giveaway by Alawar of Roboball would seem to negate that statement a little as the game was only released towards the back end of February), but we do get games that would otherwise cost money.  I personally don’t mind older games, just as long as they are playable; the graphics and other enhancements are a bonus.  Surely it’s the game play that’s important, not the fact that there are several different developers jumping on the band wagon.  (I personally  think the usual price for these arcade games is overpriced when you compare the quality and playability of many RPG, Simualtors and FPS games such as …….. well there are hundreds of them, many of which can be picked up from games shops and places like Wal mart, Tesco’s and many other large stores for as little as $5.   What I do mind are game developers who make a game, for example Super Collapse from ‘Gamehouse’, which because of its popularity, proceeded to improve it; but not to benefit the fans.  They instead proceeded to release newer versions instead of updating the original for a nominal fee.  You now have Super collapse I, Super collapse II, Super collapse 3, Super Collapse! Puzzle Gallery, Super Collapse! II Platinum, Collapse! Crunch, and  Super Pileup, all costing $19.99,  thus extracting  an exorbitant amount of money from the fans of that particular game. (I could go on with other examples, but you can probably see what I’m trying to point out. I’d much rather get  a free game (via the Game Giveaway) from Double Games or Alive Games that has the same basic game play, okay without the extra’s.  Except for a few sites that I've bandied around several times over the past few months who do give away commercial games, (these do have a price to be paid in the form of nag screens and in some cases annoying pop ups), most freeware games that I'm aware of never come close to the quality of the games given away here despite the age of the software, or you end up having to reformat your computer because a virus from the provider of “that particular interesting game you downloaded’ has seriously messed with your computer.  

Also, why do you ‘consistently’ have to insult certain sections of the community by using statements like:

 “which no person with half a brain would pay the outrageous fee of $14.95 for, they will entice people to spend money on their site”

There’s no reason for such a stance.  It only serves to alienate your statements to a large extent (IMO).  I appreciate most of the comments you make because they do tend to be good constructive criticisms, but ‘please’ try wording your statements with a little more care.  Thank you BD.

PS  I’m always open to constructive criticism as well.  Lol.  :D  

Have a great weekend folks.


PPS,
not sure whether i did agree with the BD, lol]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well-made game with unusual strategy that is interesting, but (so far) somewhat boring to me.  I think that's because the moves are too limited, and there's no real reward  other than running up a score which--without an opponent or at least a goal to beat--makes for apathy.  Anyway, it's worth keeping and checking out some more.  Thanks, GAOTD &amp; Alive Games.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Good afternoon everyone! :)

The game activated and installed easily without any issues on Windows XP.

I played the game for an hour and found it thoroughly enjoyable - it has a need for sound strategy in the higher levels for you to successfully proceed any higher.

The graphics are very basic in this game, however they are clean and professional with pleasing colors. There are only 3 options, individual sliders for sound and FX and a choice of full screen or  window mode.

The music is easy to listen to while you're planning out strategies, however there's no choice of different melodies.

Game play is very easy to learn with or without the help screen.  While it <em>may</em> resemble the plethora of ordinary match 3s found on the web - it really is dissimilar - unless anyone has found other games where the colors of the cubes/bricks keep changing color or position during the game.

They didn't explain the latter in the help screen, so I was a little confused at first when the screen seemed to alter all the time - but I did work it out.
 
<strong>I'm enjoying this game and would like to thank Alive Games for donating yet another free game for us to assess, review and keep.</strong>

Thank you always to the GOTD team also - do they even look here though?

# Chris:

<em>"How come when I download this it tells me I have 14 sessions. I thought it was a free download and not a trial?"</em>

I'm not sure Chris, since I'm not getting that message at all - however I <strong>do</strong> know that GOTD <em>only</em> releases <strong>full versions</strong> of software to us for assessment and review. Perhaps you could contact Alive Games directly to see if you can find out?

#22 JanW

<em>Graphics have very basic (low resolution) quality in full screen[1],</em> 

I can't say that I've found that at all.  I play all games with the resolution set at 1080 x 760 and the graphics <em>as basic as they are,</em> appear really clear and quite professional on my Windows XP machine.

Till tomorrow fellow gamers!

<description><![CDATA[PS To everyone who says they only have 14 day trial - the game is totally free but you have to download it actually through the giveawayoftheday site as opposed to Alivegames go to the giveawayoftheday homepage and download through that to get the full unlimited version.]]></description>
