Sorry it took so long "duh"(#40). I don't make computer games but I still think other people have made better computer games than this one. If they can do it other people should be able too.

A great game. Reminds me of Tetris or MoneyBalls. Great graphics, and a game that I will surely enjoy playing again from time to time.

Hey Brian,

have you tried creating a computer game? not exactly a piece of cake.
Try to make one as good as this first, then get back to me.

I'd give it an 8. I just tried it and played it with NO sound and STILL enjoyed it. At first I was expecting a frogger clone, but instead got the 3 or more clone. I like the character they use and that it's 3d. The new stuff almost every level in easy was a nice change of pace (e.g. grenade, gold brick, etc.)

@Sago:
c-64 and Amiga games rule. Gameplay is sooooo much more important than 3d realistic graphics that new consoles are doing. The WII is current proof of that.

Is it just i'm too slow or my machine is too quick? I only got to level 4 or 5 in the chanllenge levels and about 12 in the adventrure levels. Though i only played once i don't expect a much better score later. anyone got the same problem?

Don't know. maybe. I mean, I feel like I've played this game before, and I haven't! People should be able to think of different ideas for games. Sometimes games are combinations of two or more different style games. That's better than playing one game with ten crazy names. You'd think that the creators of these games would actually have different ideas for their games. No matter what the graphics are or how many levels, it's still the same game.

What's even worse is that this isn't the first game that has he same theme as another bunch of other games. My opinion is that if you've never played a game related to this before, go for it and play it forever until you discover the other games like this one.

P.S. To get the full version of the game, make sure you press activate. A window might pop up on your screen with two buttons: Extract All and Run. Click run. After that, then you can click setup and the game will be the full version.

I feel like i have played tons of other games exactly like this. People should get different ideas for games. It's not like we've run out of ideas! I mean, you get tired of playing the same game over and over again when it's not even the same game! It's crazy!

@30-Jan You did not install it right or read the issues that came with the game thats why you are getting a 60 minute time limit the game is still a demo. (Read the issues fully and follow them before installing)

I just played the game for about 10 mins, not a bad little game. Easily played, using mouse which I like. Music and vocals are not bad, graphics are pretty good. I rate this 5/10, lots of room for improvements but has lots of potential.

Ok, this is fun. It's working on my system. I've found the trick to some of these games is to not let WinZip extract AND install. Usually, you need to click "read me", then select "Extract only" (default is "extract and install") This lets you access the "activation" panel that many of these games require BEFORE installing the game.

The frog character and how it moves is pretty funny. A few previous comments complained that match three isn't original, but match three plus a shooter is certainly an original combination. The graphics are pretty good and it's not a resource hog. No icon for Relax mode but find it by holding the mouse cursor over the frog on the opening screen. No option to save games but it hardly matters with this one. There's not many levels to each mode and there's several chances to complete any level not finished before seeing "Game Over".

All mouse controlled so people who don't like keyboard games should enjoy this one. You hold the cursor directly on the combination you want to shoot and click to fire, either left or right click works so choose your preference. No tired mouse hand as there's no need to click repeatedly, one click eliminates the combination as long as it's three or more. There's bonuses, bombs and powerups along the way and they are pretty unique. To eliminate the gray blocks with the "X" on them, click on the gold pieces.

Options for full screen or windowed, resolution choices for full screen. Music is not very good and the game's music folders contain proprietary files so it doesn't look like it can be changed. Music, sound and voices can be shut off or on in options. There's two voices, a robot-sounding bass and a child's voice. The disembodied child's voice sounds a little creepy, not the programmer's fault it's just something that's been overdone in too many horror movies. But shutting off voices doesn't completely shut off that one.

This site has gone crazy. It told me I had already posted a comment when I had not. I've given up on Chroma Ways. After three fresh downloads and a re-start before each attempted installation, the game wouldn't install. I get the message the "The computed CRC doesn't match the CRC recorded in the archive." Another error message was "The source file is corrupted." Oh, well! There's always another day and another new game.

BTW: I had no problems downloading or installing AirXonix by the same publisher.

When I started the extract wizard, I got a message that a file was corrupted. Deleted the file. Re-started the computer. Tried again with fresh download and used Power Desk to unzip. Got error message: "File check error (corrupted file). The computed CRC doesn't match the CRC recorded in the archive." Removed, re-started, and downloaded a third fresh copy. This time, it downloaded without being zipped. I thought great as it seemed it would work. No. Got "The source file is corrupted." I'm not sure what the problem is, but after three tries, I give up. Wanted to post this in case anyone else had the same problem.

Well, I really love this game. I LOVE Japanese games and the mini games are great. Muhahaha Really fun. Great graphics, although I have 2 Nvidia Sli 7800GTX cards sooo! I give it a ten. For those of you who are rating it without playing try the challenge level. Arigato, GAOTD!

I found this game quite exellent AND it has an original take on a theme I previously didn't find as catching as the more action oriented puzzle games. I found the music quite lovely, C64-retro even. :) For a puzzle game it gets a solid 8 from me.

I agree with comments #2 by Mark and #3 by netbjarne. With respect to Brittny Dunn's comment #4, I wouldn't say amazing, but they are very good though (okay I'm being pernickety, lol.

I do enjoy this genre, and when I see it presented in an original way like this, it's definitely a keeper.

The only negative thing about this game is the number of levels. 46 separated into three modes (Easy Trip 11 levels, Adventure 15 levels, Challenge 20 levels) is cutting it down to almost a demo game; however there are secret levels to be found throughout the game...lets hope on most levels, lol. Maybe the developer intends to release add-on packs?

There are plenty of interesting bonuses, special pieces and secret bonus's to keep this game interesting till the last level. You can play the game in full screen or windowed and the screen resolution for full screen goes up to 1280 x 960.

I give this a 7 out of 10. If there had been 100 levels it may have scraped an 8.

The idea may not be completely original, but implementation is good. The game runs smoothly on my old notebook with intel onboard graphics. The music is not particular good, but on the other hand, players should be too busy noticing. I rate it 6/10

Arian, Well, seeing as you are a little figure, that has to actually shoot at blocks before they reach you, sliding down to you... it's actually quite unique in it's implementation of the "Click 3 or more to make them go away" genre, since most, if not all that I know, are either a pre-filled 2d screen, or a 2d rectangle filling up slowly, bottom to top.

A solid 7 out of 10 for me.

I wonder how many games have this exactly same idea? So in a scale from 0-10 I give the program 3 points.
