i do so very much appreciate the free games and thank you for sharing all the fun.
This game installed fine and is fun to play but gets way too stressful too fast and takes the joy out the game, for me.

Nice game, but with a big flaw!

Really enjoyed playing it, until level 3-7 came along. Lost all my six or seven lives to that level because all of a sudden the game kept throwing tiles at me much faster than I could get rid of them. And no extras like bomb or lightning at all!

Very frustrating. Won't play that game ever again and won't recommend it to anyone either. (Only wondering how insanely difficult it would get in the later levels...)

The giveaway is over at this time but I've run into a problem playing the game. It resets a number of system settings, including my mouse. I'm left-handed and this game reset the mouse buttons to right handed!

Comodo firewall/anti-virus complains about it hitting the system settings every time I start the game. It obviously is doing something to them!

I tried all day saturday to get the set up to work on this game and could never get it to work. I downloaded the game several times trying to get it to work. It sucks because I missed out on a game.

You can get this free 24/7 from MyPlayCity

HELP! I installed Aquitania and played a while. Had random problems with computer afterward including a Norton warning of HIGH Risk. Today, Sunday, I decided to uninstall it. Went to program as it was not listed under control panel add/remove section. Clicked on uninstall.exe and sent Norton's bells ringing. Something called SONAR lit up. It removed the uninstall although it is still showing under the program. I can't get rid of this program!! HELP

Manually delete it.

Game was only a 1 hour trial!

Did you check the read me? Unusually there was a registration code for yesterdays game.

I can not find the registration code . Please help . I have the read me open , but don't see it .

..........................Moderator Comment..............................

This is what your read me should look like. I've blanked out the actual reg code as it's not allowed to be posted:

I enjoy Match-3's, but was hesitant about this one, because it didn't really appeal to me. With all the posts about registration issues, though, I decided just for the heck of it to download it, using #66's (Jayngelcat) instructions. I did, and got the whole thing done with absolutely no problems, and played several levels. I am running XP SP3, btw.

Woops sorry found the registration number and worked it out, thanks

Mine is only a 60 minute version.

This is a nice game - a match 3 with a bit of a twist. Love the game. Not too fond of the music but that won't stop me from playing.

Didn't have the register button. Tried Play. Nothing happens. Changed screen res as register turned out to be below the bottom of the window. Said accepted. Click play. Nothing opened -- just go back to desktop. Too bad, I like match 3

Wait a minute... I entered the registration and it's saying my temporary... has expired??? What...

Well I was enjoying this game until it crashed - "Program Compatibility Assistant" popped up saying it may not have been installed correctly - if that were the case - why was I able to play till about the 3rd or 4th "charm/item"?

I had no problem registering it either, if you follow the directions of course. =P

I hope the crash was a fluke and it remembers the last 'item' I completed.

Setup and registration was a breeze Vista 64 bit. No threats detected Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. The graphics and game play is very nice. I find this game relaxing. Nice addition to my game collection.

There is no call for the bad language you used on this family site. We have children reading these comments, so consequently I've deleted your post. If you'd taken the trouble to read the comments made here you would have come across either sukibabes or Lone paladin's post, both of who posted a link to the English version of the developers site, where you can see in plain English all the system requirements.

Installed and seems to run fine on Vista.

It is a match-3 game, but there are some things which set it apart from the crowd: The gameplay is fast. There is a very hurried sense to it and I found it a bit overwhelming at times. There are some nice bonuses that crop up during play like the line eliminator and limited-time bombs.

I do have a few gripes with the game. First, is, as has been mentioned, the game does not remember you put it into windowed mode

Also, Kaspersky is calling this a keylogger. Warning after warning came up throughout the game's launch. (Each seemed to be for a different file.) I let it run the first couple of times but I am still somewhat wary.

By first running, it's reporting "Error while unpacking Program, code LP5. W7 Prof, installed in the OS-Partition F:\.

What are you proposing?

James

downloaded from mirror link but same thing happens again.

A very pretty game, but extremely stressfull. It doesn not remember the settings, and each time you take a break from it (because it is so fast), you have to enter the settings again, as it will come back will full blast music volume and sound effects, and sometimes even in full screen mode. I think I will uninstall it as I cannot see myself enjoy it, inspite of the very nice graphics.

Actually, there was no register button the first time I opened the game. Sorry Alwar, but there are too many match 3 games in the world for me to bother with the hassle.

This is a match three, but more challenging than usual. The others I eat up in minutes. This one makes me work!

I had no problems registering the Game.
1. read the Read Me text
2. copy the registration number given in the Read Me Text
3. Install Setup
4. When Setup is done, Open the Game
5. There are two Boxes, One is Buy the other is Register
6. Click on Register and past the Registration Number in
the blank box
7. Click OK

I had no trouble whatsoever with playing the game....Well, I lie, but it was just a little problem. I realized that I have to use the Left click button to work the game. I'm Left handed, and my mouse is set for a lefthander therefore, I'am using my right click button for everything. Took a few minutes to think that one out. Duh - another Blonde Day for me.
All is well though, it's a cute little game, nice and colorful. I cut the music because I can't stand sound that plays the same thing over and over and over. Other than that. No complaints.

Thanks!!!
All is well....works like a charm!

Yeah! A free game for my birthday!

Happy Birthday Casey, I hope your special day brough lots of surprises and that you had a wonderful day. ;-)

seemed to install ok but when running Aquitania\Aquitania.exe a jpg opens up, on closing that a trial version then runs after exiting that another jpg opens up. i've uninstalled and re-installed multiple times but still cant register the game. nothing is clickable on any of the jpgs.

Thanks for the very nice game, it plays fluently and I couldnot find a negative point yet.
It's set up a bit different than the other match-3 games, which makes it fun to play. (but they are my favorites anyway ;-))

Downloaded and then istalled following directions given here by registering immediately.

Absolutely no problems. Both Malwarebytes Pro, Avast and Outpost Fire Wall clear it.

Thanks.

This game come complete with malware and will start up at random times, it also will not uninstall!!


.............................Moderator comment................................

The game uninstalls fine; the giveaway team go to great lengths to make sure games that are put up on this site are safe and free from malware, the game is from a subsidiary of Alawar a reputable Russian games developer (I sometimes beta test for them) and I got no warnings from my security sofware. All in all a decent match three with some nteresting elements that I've seen in a few other match three games but never together

I tried to use the 'run' mode and couldn't download it so I saved it instead and then opened it. It installed and ran on my Windows 7 without any problem. I love this match three game. It is different as it has the added feature of birds at the top of each row and part of the objective is to keep each row from filling up. If the row(s) fill up the bird dies and flys away. Great fun game to pass the winter hours away with. DO BE AWARE TO KEEP THE REGISTRATION KEY THAT IS GIVEN AT THE END OF THE INSTALLATION OTHERWISE IT SHOWS AS A TRIAL VERSION.

I'm getting a runtime error. I got the code entered and my name entered but when it goes to actually play the game I get an error and it freezes. I love match 3 games, so I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I'm on a Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit os.

Well, it installed correctly and played with no problems EXCEPT...
it's trial software and the trial ended after a few short rounds.
Didn't like that one bit.

When you install, then run the game for the first time there are three buttons to the left of the opening screen below where it says vantages. These are

1) Play Trial
2) Buy now
3) Register

When you click on the register button a further window opens that says enter your purchase Information. There is a empty filed with a flashing cursor; enter the registration code that is provided in the read me document then click the green ‘Register’ button to convert the demo to a full version game.

For some reason, if you don't click the register button the first time the game is booted it doesn't seem possible to register the game because on closing the game without registering it, the second boot brings up the same screen except there is no register button. The only way I can see that you are going to get this registered is to delete the game and clear out the registry of all reference to the game and the developer. Then reinstall the game, making sure you activate it the first time around.

ALERT!! You cannot un-install this program. The uninstall.exe is malware. I've tried it several times - it won't uninstall and my security sends alarms and won't let it continue.

These programs need to be check beyond just installing them - malware attacks if you try to Un-install!

Terri's comments above are irrelevant. All that opens is a jpg. I can click on the green "register" button - nothing happens. I can click on everything on the jpg and nothing happens. I can copy it, move it to "my pictures", set it as my desktop background - that's it. This was after playing until the trial period expired. Right clicking on the links, anything related to opening the link is grayed out. AV is disabled, IE settings reset to default. Rebooted, redownloaded, and reinstalled. Their web site says may not work with Windows 7. I'm taking their word for it. Compatability mode not working either.

can not find the relax mode or untimed mode

I wouldn't worry about Awem and malware. Awem is a very good developer/publisher/portal, and I've not only beta'd a ton of games for them, but purchased and downloaded many. I love their games, and the customer service is very good.

This is a fun game, but the options won't hold. I like to play with the music and sound turned down, and windowed. If I pause, when I come back, the music and sounds are at default levels, not where I left them. And everytime I reopen the game, it opens full screen, and with the sounds at default levels.

This is annoying, enough that I probably won't be playing the game.

Downloaded fine on XP 32 bit. Registered fine. If you like to change your install directory, you do need to be sure to read your screens.
It's a nice little match 3. Not my favorite, but I do like the part where you have to keep the columns from stacking up. I'll enjoy playing it. Thank you!

Thank you GOTD and Awem Studio for getting us a game today,

The game is very colorful and fun.

An excellent and very fun match 3 game. I'm not usually so fussed on these, but this has really great music and quite a bit of time pressure to find matches, making it needing a lot of concentration and sometimes not at all easy. The timing of new tiles is just right to keep it very entertaining. Find it very enjoyable!

I have sent links for this game to my family, then read the comments.
i am worried about the keylogger comment/issue. Has anyone else had this or done a full check?
thanks

I really like this game! It's very stressful - you're busy trying to get rid of all the blue squares while these birds keep dropping more and more things on you, filling up the corners. The bonuses don't last long, and every time there is no move available, all the colors change, so you can't plot out long term strategies - you just have to be FAST. The only thing I don't like is that if a column fills up, I kill a bird. It's just kind of disturbing.

Gamezebo wrote a good review for this game here:

http://www.awem.com/reviews/aquitania.-a-trip-into-magic.html

Also, if you look up "Aquitania game" on YouTube you can find some videos showing you the gameplay. (The screenshots on comment #2 were not helpful at all. Every game of this sort has a volume-setting screen, we really don't need to see that.)

This looks like a promising title, striking a balance between progressing toward success (clearing the blue blocks) and preventing a failed run (letting things pile up). My wife's downloading it right now on our main computer.

ok I did shut off the Norton for 15 minutes. then I tried to install while it was off. now I received a error message ‘unpacking error file. corrupt setup file’

any suggestions I have been waiting

There is no box to put the code in,so all I get is the trial version,how can I register this game? It's a good match 3 game,and I'm having fun playing it because I try to beat the best time.

I could not copy and paste the code. I tried to type it in, but I don't know which are zeros and which are an "O." Please help!

Downloaded and installed on Win XP3 but got the message that
"Error while unpacking program, code LP5. Please report to author."
I then uninstalled and downloaded from mirror site...still the same
error appears. Please help. I don't have AV software on and have
deleted my cache before downloading the second time.

I stand corrected. Windows detected an installation problem and re-installed. Now the game works fine, on win 7 64x. Nice graphics.
Good match three game. Not exactly a blockbuster, but still entertaining.

Can not register the program. Played it through end of trial time. Register button on opening screen does not do anything. Have uninstalled, reinstalled, disabled anti-virus, still can't register the program.

This ANOTHER of those poorly coded Russian games that install but will not launch correctly and play. Every time I try to use of of these hummers the same thing happens. The splash screen loads, accepts your registration number, but when you launch the game, the screen simply cycles back and forth between the desktop and never plays. You have to use the task manager to kill it.
The same thing happened with Trial Motorbikes: African Adventures, and Jungle Racers. Say, those were from...Russia...too!
