Thanks… You gave me my Christmas gift! I was hoping you would release a Christmas game on Christmas, and sure enough, not only was it a Christmas game, but it’s a clone of one of the games I have been hoping for a LONG time to buy! Thanks so much & God Bless!

PS: Please tell these companies to do something about their installs, since it’s kind of stupid to make it a self-extracting zip file unless you’re going to include some shortcuts so people don’t need a bloodhound to find the program they just installed.

A fun game…kind of a combination of tetris and bejeweled. Thanks!

A nice standalone themed cubix style game… for those unable to find it… the activate and setup process does NOT create any shortcuts… that is an exercise for the reader!

If you accept the SFX extractors defaults just copy and paste the following command into the Run box from your windows Start Menu:

C:\Games\XmasBlox\xmas.exe

And select options to change from full screen to windowed mode.

If you wish to have a desktop shortcut, navigate to the xmas.exe in windows explorer and then right click on the xmas.exe and select: Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut)

On a cursory glance over the folders and files it looks like the creative end user could effectively re-skin the textures used for blocks etc if they were so inclined, that alone could make it worth buying!

Thanks, #18, for pointing that out to me! There were both programs, and they installed just fine for me.

Thank you so very much for these. I am a homeschool mom and your site was posted on a homeschool board. All of them have been so wonderful! Don’t know how you are able to do it, but they have been a wonderful Christmas gift.

I love these giveaways, and have found some awesome programs here. Thank you so much! Anyway, on the game Tiny Cars from the other day, and then on this game, for some reason, when I click on the Activate/Setup button, it continually goes to Winzip, and this is after I’ve unzipped the files. I haven’t had trouble with any other programs like this, and I’m not sure why this is happening. I love these 3 colored blocks matching games, and I was really disappointed that I couldn’t get the Tiny Car game to work. Any ideas here? Thanks so much, Cindy
