not sure whether this is a qenuine post or you just want community members to visit your website? If you are genuine, I suggest you post in the forums rather than in an outdated area of the game giveaway project. This area is usually only visited by community members over the day of the actual giveaway which was way back in Dec 2011.

p.s. I've removed the link to your website as it's not appropriate on the giveaway site. you could always create athread in the forums about the products you sell, but to be honest, you'd have to be a regular poster before any l;inks to your site were allowed.

I am not sure where you're getting your info, but great topic. I need to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for great info I was looking for this information for my mission.

My game says Trail is Over? I do not understand, I thought it was registered. What did I do wrong? Now I am filled with sadness.

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

Did you read my review? In the first few paragraphs (after the request to post feedback) I mentioned that this game came with a registration code (which is very rare). If you've assumed that the game registers as they usually do then you will prpbably have not bothered to read the read me and missed the code.

If you've deleted the file from last week then you won't be able to register the game. If you still have the read me you'll find a registration code included. Check your recycle bin. The code will still work even after the giveaway has ended.

Runs great on Win7(64bit).Addictive & enjoyable!! Great game AWEM, keep them coming GOTD.

Very addictive and lots of fun. Great game. Thanks!

(Couple Days Late to Write this)

Tested on XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64bit)
Installed. Registered.

this game has been tinkling, clinking and exploding on these two computers for the past two days at my house.

It's almost too much fun.

I guess it's a thumbs up! ;o)

Happy Holidays All.

I love this game !!! Really, I would like to discover this game and I think that I can purchase it later my pc format or the new game version will be launched. I added this game creator website to my delicious bookmarks to future needs. Thanks GOTD !

Downloaded, installed and registered just fine on my Windows XP and Windows 7 machines. When I first got into the game and entered my name, I immediately went and turned off the music.

When I first got into the game, I thought it was like any standard Match 3 game, and when I clicked on the tile to move it, it did not move. I tried everything at first, but then I just clicked and dragged the cursor across the tiles and it worked great with no problems. I managed to get past the 1st stage and am on to the 2nd stage of the game.

I would give this game an 4 out of 5 stars due to there really being no help / tutorial for the game, so that it is understandable as to what to do at the beginning of the game instead of trial and error. With that being said, the graphics are good, the game is easy to play, and is colorful.

I also like the feature with adding the power-ups one at a time instead of all at once. The sound effects are a little bland in the way it sounds when you break the brown blocks and crates, but at least you can tell from breaking them vs. the cleared areas.

Quite a nice matching game, and DIFFERENT. Love the way one can accumulate various items such as logs, coins, bonuses, etc.

My Scoring:
Download and installation - 9
Registration process - 9
Graphic Appearance in Game – 9
Background and Colour - 9
Audio – 8
Game Play - 9
Replay Ability - 8
Originality - 9

Total 9 out of 10 {a whopping big thumbs up}
Thanks to WhiterabbitUK, GGOTD, posters to the forum and Awem studio.

:P Happy Christmas! :P

Merry Christmas Stephen {WhiterabbitUK} and to your family. Thanks for all the wonderful things you do here all year 'round.

Merry Christmas to YOU and to all of the other wonderful people who use and contribute to GGAOTD!

Thank you so much Awem and GGOTD. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!

I have been playing this game off and on today. Really ejoy it. The download went smoothly and registration with no problems. The only problem I had was the "mouse thing." Thats not the programs problem, but, rather me. I very seldom use a mouse. I have a Wacom Tablet so I'm pen user. (LOL) Sooooooo, there will be a little bit of mouse OJT for me. Love the game. Thanks GAOTD and Awem Studio. Merry Christmas everyone.

to the developers

looked like would be a fun game. But on net book, too much fuss to try and change screen resolution, screen direction, stretch.... as suggested to others. STILL NO register button.

Tried trial. Okay once came back and read more comments as far as how to click and drag -- didn't figure that out from you help screens.
But unable to see the powerups -- got message that dyamite was ready, but icon not shown on screen.

Too much work on my part. gave up, uninstalled.

Can't programmers handle screens and better design for today's systems

Downloaded and registered easily. Have played through the first level and seems like a good game so far. One improvement I would like to suggest is that the bonuses were explained better (like a demonstration in a help file) and that it showed how many you have of each bonus. None the less, it is a keeper. Thanks GOTD and a Merry Christmas to all!

@Moderator response to Cherish about left handed mouse. Do you switch the mouse buttons or do you keep your mouse buttons the same as originally supplied? The first thing I do when I have a new pc is to change my mouse buttons so that "left click" is now "right click" etc. So if I play with my right hand, I use my ring finger to point and click, instead of my index finger. Hope that helped make sense of what I mean. So if you switch your mouse clicker there are two games I've received from here that reset my mouse buttons just during the game. Once I sign out of the game it goes back to normal for me. I realize the majority of people don't switch their mouse buttons. I'm just the (1%) who does. :-)


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

No I don't switch the mouse buttons. I suppose I've just got used to using the mouse left handed even if it's configured for a right handed person. ;-)

The "Cradle" games are awesome games. Takes strategy to make decent points and you have to make sure you don't just go for the gold or food. You have to spread it around. Be sure to save those bonuses(dynamite, wands etc); you will need them later. It would be nice to have a relaxed mode as I find these type of slide match games really hurt my wrist(arthritis) after a period of time playing them.

Thanks to the GGOTD Team and AWEM for a great game. And Merry Christmas to all!

And thanks, My furry Wrascally Wabbit friend. Make sure you have a good Christmas with the family and give a hug to your boy and little girl from me. :)

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

Will do Delenn. Merry Christmas. Have a brilliant day. :)

I only had time to play a couple levels, but I love match 3's, so I think this is a keeper. I find the graphics very attractive. I like the fact that the objects I'm matching are so distinct in shape & color.

It took me a minute to figure out how to make a match. I think the very first help screen could be a bit more helpful - like demonstrating a match with a series of screen shots.

Thank you Awem & GGOTD. Merry Christmas to all!

WoW! what a Perfect gift for Christmas!
Best game we've seen in months- having so much FUN with it. I've
passed it & your website on to 3 Extended families,
now they're enjoying it too.
I'm up to level 32, glad you made Lots of levels.
Thanks to everyone who made this game possible &
a MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Thank you for such great reviews and the help and feedback provided with each game.... Also thank you to the Developers/Companies that offer their games here.

Cradle Of Persia downloaded and installed easily and without any issues on my Win 7/64b laptop. Registration went smoothly and without any issues as well. I didn't need to turn off my AV (Anti-Virus) nor run it in admin mode to install or register (as would happen many times on my old Vista system). However, those having issues may want to try that to see if it works. It has great graphics and runs smoothly. I've enjoyed the game so far and will continue to play it.

I look forward to seeing what's offered next. Thank you again.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to ALL!

Had no problems with registering the game, Im afraid I didnt think much of the gameplay though. I much prefer the click and move rather than click and drag method of play which is a shame because it looks like such a good game otherwise.

One other note is that it doesnt seem to uninstall via the usual route, I merely deleted the program file folder and it disappeared. I hope it hasnt left anything behind?

Anybody else tried this with VMware Fusion. Windows 7 Ultimate. It crashes after splash screen when I click play. :( Shame...was really looking forward to this.

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

Works fine with my copy of win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Possibly a conflict or out of date driver?

It would be nice to be able to choose where to install it and where it decides to put icons.

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

You can choose where to install the game.

Installed and registered with no problem.

Game launches and when I click play. Nothing happens.

Any suggestions?


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


Try the AWEM demo. The reg code will register it; though if the registration details are already in the registry it shouldn't be needed. I'd post a request for help over in the forums as I don't think many will be visiting at this time due to it being christmas day (here in Europe at least).

This is a great game! It reminds me of elements I think. I like the little bit of strategy with the building and such. One of the reasons I love Cradle of Rome so much. Btw Skyrim is 33% off on steam right now. I really want to get this. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your kids!! Thank you Stephen for all you do here, I have a chronic pain disorder with many other things from being a passenger in a car hit by a freight train 17 years ago. I know how hard it is to keep up with things while being in pain.

Thank you Game Give Away for the fun!! I really do appreciate the hard work everyone does!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

This game is awesome .....I have been playing this game since I downloaded it ....the best game I've downloaded on FGG....so far ....thank you so much for allowing us to have this game for free and I will be watching for any other games from this company !! Thanks Cyn :P

I read someone was having trouble registering. I did also. I had dragged the page open as far as could and no green button. I closed the game and then re-opened it. Dragged it open again and the green button appeared below this time. So close and then relaunch if have trouble.
Will try playing soon, but busy with holiday. Thank you for another great game!!

Hope everyone having great Holidays!

Lee

Thank you GOTD for this great game... Runs well with Vista 64 bit... and registered without a glitch.... I opened properties of the game and clicked on [open as administrator] then click okay... I ran the game then click the register button and from the [read me file] I copied and pasted the registration number .... I figured it out after trial and error... Hope it helps the people who are having problems with the game....

Happy Holidays Everyone .....

The game installed and registered with no problem, you can choose where to install.

Nice and relaxed gameplay, very nice for children and eventhough I'm not a child anymore, I really liked it too!

Thanks

I downloaded, installed and registered with no problem. Thing is, the mouse pointer is nearly uncontrollable. Is there a fix? It looks like a fun game if it weren't so frustrating to try to control that mouse pointer.
I tried windowed mode and it was the same. I tried mouse sensitivity and it was the same. ???
Merry Christmas Whiterabbit and all

I second Sarge's comment. My wife has Alzheimer's, but still likes to play, albeit at a much slower pace!

It took me a little bit to figure out how to make the matches--I've got used to pieces trading places in match 3 games--but once I figured it out, it works great.

OK GOT IT I was trying to purchase it. I noticed that someone had said using the register button. Guess I was trying to do too many things this morning and didn't even see that button! ugh feel really stupid now but thank you so much for your help!
Love these kind of games
Thank you game giveaway and Merry Christmas to all!

Awem Studio - Please put an option in your games to play in "relaxed mode" (no time limit) for us old timers. Thanks!

In the introduction of your review it says Cradle Of Egypt features beautiful hand-drawn graphics, great bonuses, challenging mini-games, over 25 trophies, three modes of play and possibility to choose between timed and relaxed modes in Adventure.
I can not find the relaxed mode or the three modes of play. could someone help me..


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

oops! I was supposed to have deleted that. that comes with not re-reading my draft review (was busy getting ready for Christmas) I got the wrong game initially.

Whiterabbit just wanted to say Merry Christmas and thank you for all your reviews. They for me are one of the best on the internet. I look forward to them and they have changed my mine (to download the game) when I was not going to. One being 4 Elements. I have enjoyed that game. Playing it when I have a few moments. I will download this one also when I was not going to.

Whiterabbit may need to buy me for Christmas is a new hard drive for all these good games he recommends.

Enjoy the Holidays everyone.

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

haha, you should see my hard drives, lol. just installed two new HDD's a 3TB and a 1.5TB to combine into one 4. something TB drive and it's almost full already after installing all my steam games.

Can't get game to run on my Dell T3400/Win 7 - 64 Bit/8GB Ram/ 512 MB nVidea...keep getting same error: 'Error while unpacking program, code LP5'. I've tried everything suggested here with same results, so I guess it has a conflict with something on my PC. BTW, any idea what 'Code LP5' means? Thanks for the downloads that you offer each day (and a special THANKS to the companies that allow their software to be offered)!!! Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to ALL!!!


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

Here are a few comments I found about the error:



1) ... We have seen this error before with some of our other products (see this thread). It seems to be caused by interference from other applications running on the computer such as AV products. It may also be possible that this Ceedo product you are using is the cause of the problems. Any extra info about how you are trying to run KeyboardTest could help us in troubleshooting the problem.


2) ...
I think it is most probably an error caused by the modification of the "EXE" file by a virus or a file patcher program. You will get this error mostly in demo games restricted to 1 hour limit, if u modify a few bytes in the EXE file. This has something with the structure of EXE files (mostly PE). The actual program code is loaded later into memory by the loader. The loader code verifies the demo limit and then tried to unpack the main program code into memory. If some bytes regarding the information of the main program block has been modified, you are likely to get the LP5 unpack error.

Just my thoughts. Ain't sure if it is the truth.


3) ... Yea, well the only thing I know for sure that can cause this is AV products. Try turning your AV off, then try the unpack and see if it works.

I am not big on match 3 games, so I won't be downloading, but I did want to say, it looks like it has great graphics!

Any time management games coming in the foreseeable future?

Danke für das hübsche Spiel G.G.o.t.T.gut getroffen für Weihnachten, allen ein frohes Fest und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.

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

Nichts zu danken. Bereits ecellent Weihnachten und ein fantastisches neues Jahr

Ok...downloaded np. My issue is with trying to register it. When it goes to the page I click in my code and it tells me it is invalid. I have d/l from here and then tried d/l from the makers site and still same message. I am copying and pasting the code from the readme
Thank you for your help

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

Try manually inputting the code.

Installed and activated just fine on my Win7x64 system. Played through first epoch and must say enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. A keeper for sure. Thanks to Awem and GGAOTD for this. (have to say it.... Bring back Kings Smith 2!)

Nice little Christmas cheer. Ok Win 7 x64 Ultimate full screen PC.
Can adjust music & sound levels. Yes bit of oldie but hey it woeks, it
's free and for a match 3 fan just fine. Never got around to this one but similar to others in genre. Brand has a hook on this theme.
Played 'fairly' and easily on first level. Have to play bit more to see how hard it might gst. Some of these can throw some very hard to win levels when time based. So far tho not much pressure that way.
Didn't need to use dynamite bonus either. Load up on coin before finishing when time is about 1/3 time left for extra gain.
Off for some last second shopping. Guys, have a fun one on me.
Cold enough at last to make it feel a bit like Christmas and the sun is keeping away the dark spirits that can set in some people if it's a gloomy winter. Warm Persia helps. May I have another please.....


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

Thank you for your feedback

Well, I enjoyed 4 Elements and the matching 3 tiles in any direction, so I definitely want to play this one.

i also had problems registering this game.....but copy and paste worked. just copy in the read me file and paste it in where they want you to register it upon opening it the first time.
i have played this game before. it is ok for a match 3 game. i like that they build the city. it kind of gives you something to look forward to.

Installed with no problem on Win7/64 and activated just fine. I just played through the whole first level and will be keeping it on my system. I'm off to go check out their other games now. Thanks Awem! I'd also like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and thank everyone for the time they spend leaving helpful comments and suggestions for the rest of us on GGOTD. Thank you GGOTD and GOTD for all the work you put in on these sites, and finally a big thank you to all the software companies who provide programs for us to try out and use for free.


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

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, Moderator. I'm using a netbook and hadn't seen the Register button. Sorry :)

Installed fine on XP3, just copied and pasted the code from the Readme file. Graphics are pretty decent. The cursor is a bit hard to control. there are match 3 games I enjoy more but this one is a keeper for now. Thanks GGOTD and Awem. Happy Holidays!

Stephen,

I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you for what you do here. The amount of time you spend on trying to describe every detail of a game is amazing. You try to anticipate what will be asked and include it in your reviews. This site would not be the same without you.

Merry Christmas to you and your family and a joyous New Year !!!!!



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

Thank you. Have an excellent festive season and a brilliant New Year. :)

Forgot I had this game from way back! Like pictures and info from gotd though! Thanks gotd! I assume the moderator will be giving away new computers for all tonight - thanks in advance!

Game looks great - but I could have used a small tutorial on how to move. I thought it was like other "Bejewelled" games = and I blew a lot of high scores & low times - until I found a couple of ways of moving, other than that, looks great, plays not too bad (would like to see a beginner's level - pick me), and I think I have one of my games over this Xmas. Thank you to all, and to all a Merry (very long great Christmas Eve) Christmas. Drive Safe!

Many thanks for another great game

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
