Looking forward to see all of you on our website. There are lots of cool games for you :-)

How do I do to throw a stone?

I can't reach the last crystal to go to level 2.

How old are you?
I'm 47 and finished game in 20 minutes, too. I remember ZX Spectrum, Atari and Commodore platformers, that were a real challenge.

Thanks, got it to work using the keyboard controls, Thanks!

Not tested on Win 10 yet, thanks for the feedback.

Cute game. I've only played a few minutes, but it seems fun. (I like games like Turtle Odyssey, Super Cow, etc, which they don't seem to make any more). I have win 7 64, and I had to go to xp compatibility for the "boss level". where, oddly. the shooting could be done with my mouse. Thanks for a nice Saturday game!

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

:) Intresting re the ability to use the mouse. Makes sense w.r.t. shooting.

This is not my kind of game but the kids like this one. Thanks ggotd.

Hey there...didn't dl today's game as I suck at keyboard controls...wish it had the option of using the mouse as it looks like a cute little game.

As for the TooMky site: I used to get games from there but had to stop. Some time last year I started getting warnings from my virus software...went today to check if the problem had been solved and got this message from my web shield:

Avast Web Shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file.
Object: http://cdn.toomkygamesdownload....
Infection: Win32:Malware-gen
Process: C:\...Icedragon.exe

So I wouldn't recommend using the site. Since it has been a year and this still hasn't been fixed, not sure I will even check again....shame too as there are some new games on there I would like to try.

Thanks for the heads up on TooMyk Games. I won't bother checking myself as I trust your explanation. :)

I inserted it in the previous message, but it didn't appear in the preview, before the moderation.
I also used the for the errors, but it worked only for the first...? :-/

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

Deleted the link to your account and have copied, then uploaded the image to http://postimage.org/, then added the appropriate link to your previous post. :)

Wow. Was some fun but a very short game compared to turtix or other games. Finished the game in about 20 minutes.

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



lol, I must be getting old as I tried to get past level five a few times and failed, so gave up. Platformers have never been my strong point. Though I do love some of them (e.g. Gish and Super Meat Boy)

Hi Whiterabbit-uk and everybody.
I'm using Win8.1 x64 updated, I have enabled DEP (Always on), I enlarged Windows characters (DPI - Larger 150%).
When I start the game, I get these errors:

Anyway the game works (but not full screen, by default... I didn't try to put it full).
I disabled DEP (i.e., added the game to DEP exceptions) and the game works correctly.
I finished the game after half hour, like iowasongbird.

Hence those are two problems; my suggestions/advices to improve the game:
1) it should work with DEP enabled
2) it should last longer
3) add more levels
4) add an HARD mode (more damages when rudi is hit, life lost when Rudi falls into the fire/ravine/void)
5) add the possibility to remove the suggestions/advices when a level starts
6) add more audio tracks, or change audio tracks between levels

Best regards!

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions xilolee, appreciated.

This is a very simple and relatively short game with 15 levels. The animation is delightful and I found the use of buttons easy to learn. There was one bonus level which was confusing because you ended up using the mouse - a few brief instructions would be helpful there. Most of the game required intuition as the instructions are limited. But the game is easy enough to figure out. I'll keep it installed as I often need a "no-brainer" type of game to relax with. Thanks for the free game access.

The controls for a running/jumping game should be set up for a gamepad, or have the ability to remap them. Unlike the days of DOS gaming. This is the only reason I didn't download or give a thumbs up.

Désoler le jeux ne fonctionne pas, l'archive n'est pas complete. Domage le jeux avais l,air super...

Caveman Rudi uses an old [old - old - old] version of the Macromedia Projector -- it was written or developed in Director, which is still around BTW, with a new release in 2013. It runs in my XP Mode VM, where most games will not, so it has minimal system requirements. It's just so old [I think it would run on win98, maybe 95] that not all [anywhere near] current systems will run it.

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

Thanks Mike

There is no cursor because the game is button-driven. Use your arrow keys to move through the choices on the start screen, then hit enter to choose. Start is jumping around because it is selected. Hope this helps!

Cute little game. Installed & played just fine on my Windows XP machine with dual screens. I didn't have the issue that the previous poster did.
Very easy game. Definitely geared more toward kids - there is no penalty for dying, there is ample ammunition, and health points are easily replenished. I was able to complete it in around 30 minutes.
The graphics are good, the controls are responsive and you have the ability to turn off the music if you want.
All in all a cute, short time waster and probably good entertainment for younger kids.
Thank you, GGOTD!

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

Thank you for your feedback iowasongbird

the game seems to have problems with the graphic driver. the game freeze time to time and you need to restart it.

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

Hi Jhon, are your drivers up to date? I had no problems running the game on Win 8.1

Pictures look very promising. I love jump´n run games like this one or turtix.

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

Ah yes Turtix, not seen that repeated in a while.

I forgot to mention, I also have a dual screen setup, and I had no such problem as previously mentioned by Mavadelo. It works well, just not my kind of game.

Hum! It's been ages since I've played button controlled games, and I must admit, I have no patience for them anymore. Maybe it's just that I'm mouse addicted. Anyway, from what I've seen, it's colorful, and you just might like this if you like Mario type of games (console you call them). I don't really, so this game does not really suit me today. Thank you anyway, it is different from what we usually get. Thumbs for the effort. Have a great day.

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

I play with severl different controllers depending on the game (Mouse, keyboard (Razer and Wolf), Steering Wheel and pedals and gear change lever, Flight Stick and gear, XBox controller, joystick, Novint Falcon (force feedback device) and Track IR (head tracking device that allows me to subsitude certain head movmeent in place of some keyboard commands such as zoom, lean left and right look around in a game with six degtrees of freedom))

I find most games have a particular method that suits them best. Platformers do go best with a keyboard or XBox controller

Game won't run correctly on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit With Media Center & Touch screen monitor. It gets to the Menu, but Start is jumping around on the screen and there isn't a cursor and touch screen doesn't help either. Tried several different compatability settings but none of them worked. I even disabled display scaling on high DPI settings, but that didn't help either.

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

Hi Ron, have you updated your graphic drivers recently?

Where is the program $6,99? not on the site of this publisher/developer. I found it on other sites ranging from €0 to €6. The game can not handle my dual screen setup, bleeps my resolution, tries to display itself half on both screens. consists of an empty window and a borderless flash thingy and has no options menu. I suppose that people with a single screen can have fun with it. It looked simple enough. Jump, duck, hit enemies with a club, collect fruit and gems. A basic platformer. Won't thumb it down but can't thumb it up either.

Thanks for your feedback Mavadelo. :)

Caveman Rudi












Installation:

The zip file once downloaded should be 51.9 MB size and when installed to the default path mentioned below is 57 MB in size. Installation is a breeze; the unzipped setup file installs the game to the following path:

C:\Games\CavemanRudi_Game

Once installed you can delete the wrapped setup file (for those that are new to the giveaway project that's the orange colored file with a key symbol on the icon; you can also delete the Setup.gcd security file and the read me document.



There is no desktop icon created during installation so you will have to create your own via the above path or via which ever path you choose for yourself. If you also want a start menu shortcut you will have to go into Documents and Settings which is found in the root directory (C:\).

i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\name\Start Menu\Programs\ (XP) or C:\Users\(User-Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ (Win 7 & 8 and Vista)

Where 'name' equals administrator, or whatever name you use for your account. Just create a new folder within the program folder and add a shortcut from the games executable file. (right click and select create shortcut then copy that to the folder you've just created - you can also use the same shortcut and copy it to the desktop or select send to desktop {create shortcut}).

There is no music folder inside the main game folder, so there's no way of changing the music directly. You can turn off the music via the options menu, then play your own music via a media player if you wish.

Some community members may have problems installing the game due to the Themida based security included with the download. Norton is one AV suite that seems to tag the file as suspicious and tends to delete the file, which will then throw up one of several error messages. If this problem does arise, there are two ways around it (or three if you decide not to install the game):

1) … Configure your security to accept files from the giveawayoftheday in particular the setup.gcd file.

2) … Temporarily turn off your security until the game has been installed, then turn it back on immediately.

I’d try for the first option first. If you aren’t sure how to configure the antimalware suite, either read the programs help files or Google how to do it, then and only then as a last resort go for turning your security off temporarily; however, if you do choose that option, you do so at your own risk. (Just to allay any fears that you may get infected installing a game giveaway with no security turned on). The giveaway team have given away well over a thousand games since the inception of the game giveaway project back in Decenber 2006 and no game has ever been infected with malware. The giveaway team check all downloads throughly using several malware suites to ensure the files are clean.

Caveman Rudi should work on all iterations of Windows from Win XP onwards, though I've not personally tested it on XP or Vista.

Introduction:

Great Jump & Run game for “in between”! The player is incarnated as Rudi and starts his funny mission of searching for fire. On his way he encounters many enemies and experiences lots of unexpected situations. Big Feet, glaze ice, carnivorous plants are only a few obstacles he will have to overcome. The aim of the game is find fire. The game is created in such a way that could allow children to use it intuitively and unaided needing no support of adults. But also adults will enjoy playing a round or two with Rudy.

Reference: accessed HERE 16th May 2015

Apparently you can get Caveman rudi from Toomky Games, but I haven't checked the site out yet. shawndion posted a comment in the Toomky Games thread over in the Game discussion forums, listing a whole load of free arcade games on the lines of MyPlayCity, Gametop etc. As I haven't confirmed whether they are safe to run without picking up extra's, I'd advise caution until I or someone else confirms that the site is safe.

The Game:

Caveman Rudi is an old school platformer with cartoon like graphics. It's very simple to play, but hard to progress unless you have nimble fingers or are a platform afficianado. I couldn't get past level 5 after several attempts so gave up. Level one is a practice level where you pick up stone ammo, food (to repair damage to your character) and crystals.

To progress to the next level you have to collect all of the crystals on that level. you may need to also find keys, or bash your way through to the next level with your club. Game play is fairly simple, with the following keyboard controls:

Left & Right arrows - Go Left & Go Right
Up & down arrows - Climb up & down
Up arrow - Jump
down arrow - Crouch
Ctrl - Use club
Space - Use club
Esc - Back to main menu or pause

As you progress the levels get harder to beat, with debris in the form of falling Stalactites that take away health. Stones that you can either collect when they are falling or from the piles of stones that you may find.
The music can be turned off via the main menu. There doesn't seem to be a way to go to windowed mode, which i find annoying.

System Requirements:

Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8
CPU: 1GHz Processor
Video: Direct X 9
Compatible Graphic Card
SysRAM: 1GB
DirectX: 9.0



Conclusion:

A simple platform game with basic cartoon graphics. Ideal for the whole family.


Score:

Graphic - 6
Gameplay - 6.5
Sound and music - 6
originality - 5
replayability - 6.5

total 30 out of 50 which is equivalent to 6 out of 10

Problems:


If you have any problems installing or getting Caveman Rudi to work please go HERE for help. I've posted most of the common problems and solutions in a FAQ thread, which you can find in the sticky section of the forums by following the above link.


If you are posting late in the day I would also suggest posting in the main giveaway forums, in the game discussion section because I cannot moderate 24hrs a day over the weekend. I've created a thread HERE for that purpose. If you've installed the game but it won’t work for some reason, it should still be registered, so someone may be able to help at another time. Unfortunately if your problem is actually installing it then once the giveaway period is over there’s nothing that can be done until the game is given away again (though that isn't guaranteed). Sometimes you can still register the game after the giveaway has ended so long as you managed to start the download before the giveaway ends. I've tested this and the grace period lasts for up to 1 hour.



It’s always worth checking out the free games sites because sometimes the games we get here are also available for free from them. MyPlayCity (MPC) has the most with over 1000 games to choose from. Other sites include Gametop and FreeGamePick. Royal Gems is available from MyPlayCity. (See link in the introduction section above). I've not checked the other free game sites. Todays game isn't available from the regular sites mentioned here, but someone posted in the forums a few weeks ago that it was available from Toomky Games. I've not checked the site yet (not had the time due to exams), so do be cautious if downloading from that site until its been confirmed to be safe.


If you do download any games from MyPlayCity, Gametop or the other free game sites 'do' watch out for toolbars etc. Make sure you un-check the check-boxes during installation, and, in the case of MyPlayCity, every time you boot the game up, (this may have changed now as these free game sites tend to change the format frequently. .. I've posted links to all of the common free game sites below in the games, games games section. :)http://steamcommunity.com/app/263200
For now I won't be recommending you download games from Jenkat Games. They have changed the way you get games from their site. Diane has posted information about this over in the game discussion forums. If I have time or remember, I'll link to it.

To be honest there are too many game deals around too list them all. Just visit the sites I recommend above and I'm sure you'll find something that suits you for a very decent price. If like me you prefer Steamworks games, many of the above sites also sell steamwork games.

If that's not enough, check out the Game Discussion forums HERE for details of other games either free or on deals such as the Indie Game bundles (there's over 20 of them - If you purchased all of them you'd be paying around $80 for around a thousand dollars worth of games); or check out the four day sales at IndieGameStand. you'll find the indie bundles thread HERE. The thread is outdated, but all of the links will still take you to the latest bundles.








The latest IndieGameStand game is called Unrest:

Set in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India, Unrest is an adventure RPG focused on story and choices. Play as five ordinary people who are struggling to get by in the famine-stricken city-state of Bhimra.

Brave poverty, disease, treason, political and social upheaval. Face unique burdens and gripping dilemmas as you struggle to survive in each chapter...but choices made to help one character may well make life harder for another.

In Unrest, there are no heroes of legend, there is no mystical quest, and fate has not chosen you.

You're on your own.

PLUS, if you pay over the average, which at the time of writing was $1.43 you will also the adventure game 'The 39 Steps. both games come with Steam keys as well as a drm free download. The deal ends Monday 18th May 15 5am (GMT)


The latest Daily Indie game is Evil Pumpkin: The Lost Halloween

Features:
- Adventure and Casual mode, option to choose between point-and-click and hidden-object game

They also have four bundles of several games that'll cost you less than $1.50 each HERE (DIG Bundles 27, 28 & 29 {only just added a few days ago} plus Desura bundle 4). You get Steam keys for all of these games apart from the Desura bundle. Though some of the games in the Desura bundle are on Valves Greenlight project and should get Steam keys if Greenlit. The single game deal ends Midnight tonight (Sat 9th May) and will be replaced with a game called Biology Battle a space-shooter, where you take the role of a medical nanobot and embark on a journey into the depths of a biological cell. Evade the defense tactics of the other cells and try to survive for as long as possible.



Most of the other bundles retail for around $5 give or take a few dollars (apart from the Daily Indie bundles that only cost $1.49 for six games), but you can pay as little as a dollar for some. There are some excellent bundles out at the moment. Check out the following:
Groupees (5 bundles)
Indie Gala (6 bundles)

========================================================

A Request for helpl>:

Developers rely on good feedback to improve their games. If you download this game please take some time once you’ve played it a while to leave some constructive feedback either positive or negative. The more constructive feedback we get, the more likely developers are going to give more games away. The giveaway site already has a very good standing with the search engines. Developers want their products out there on the WWW, this site has the potential to do that. The game giveaway project gives away on average between 9 to 17 thousand downloads for each game depending upon what genre and how obscure the game is. That’s a lot of homes these games are being downloaded into and a lot of 'potential' cash that’s being lost by the developers. If we get better games because of better feedback, the community are likely to continue to benefit from the generosity of the developers. Satisfied community members are then more likely to visit the home sites of those developers and purchase games that they may not have bothered with before they discovered the developer via the game giveaway site, thus giving the developers more incentives to give away even more decent games.

Please leave some feedback once you’ve checked the game out. It can be positive or negative, but please explain what your reasons were for the feedback you post. You could also leave suggestions for improving the game, for example, this game could do with more block types for the levels editor, add more power-ups, describing the ones you think would be suitable, add some mini games (which seem all the rage in some arcade games now) or enable the user to be able to change the in game music easily.

Thank you in advance to all those who take the time to post a constructive comment, and a big thank you to immanitas games for sharing and to the game giveaway team for getting these games.

Regards
