Downloaded this game and wasted 3 hours playing it. Well I would not call it wasted as I had fun, but that did not get my laundry done. Oh well it's Weekend a girl should be allowed a bit of fun time!

Thumbs up Wheemplay and gotd!

This is a cute little game, a welcome change from the gem-matching ones found sooo often here. It takes a little thinking and sometimes several tries to complete a level, but the physics engine is great. The expressive facial expressions, the simple interface, and the logical deductions needed make playing this with a child on your lap (or by yourself after they've gone to bed!) quite addictive.

I got this game on my Windows 7 64-bit desktop several months back, and today added it to my Windows 8 32-bit laptop, so thanks for making it available again!

Thank you for your feedback David. :)

With respect to the single file as opposed to the duplicate that I get; I've thought of a possible solution.

:idea: I think I still had the file from last year installed, but because I've since installed Win 8 onto a different SSD, it didn't detect that I'd already previously installed it. The second file was probably from the first installation. Because the name has changed slightly it wasn't overwritten.

Sorry for the confusion folks. Seems that you can only play this one in windowed mode. If you want a bigger window you'd need to change your resolution temporarily to something like 600 x 800

Installed on Windows 8. Only got one program. The one that does not expand to full screen. No problem. Thanks

This works fine on Vista. However, even if I dub witht he screen resolution when I try the full screen option I only get the top 25% of the window. Only one program downloaded. Not two. I don't see any fingers and hope no one minds that I left my Es in. I don't mind playing it in the small screen mode. Another great game offer. Thank you give away of the day and thanks to all for their valuable comments and suggestions.

Ok Win 8 Pro x64 but only small screen which is still decent on large monitor. Ah trick was to Create shortcut to .exe then on the icon Properties select Run - Maximized. Full screen,
Nice one if a fan. Only that 1 execute file from what I extracted. Music can be shut off, no slider. Did couple easy levels but imagine they get lot tougher as these usually do. No idea why the horrible low GOTD score. It's no Elements but hey for fans & free what's the harm. Thanks for the offer since never got around to this one.
Oh and the links to player pack - whiterabbit one takes you to link that requires Facebook; the poster link to some online play site but didn't find that extra pack file. No biggie. Thanks guys.

installs and plays fine on win7 64bit. only one exe found without the wheemplay splash so no full screen. Seems you get another installer then we do Stephen.
Wheemplay are not my kind of games although I keep trying to like them ;) This one is no exception to this rule :(
fullscreen play gives me about a 5th of the playscreen as you can see here http://my.jetscreenshot.com/3161/20130421-pnrt-49kb.jpg
please ask the developer to give us the same setup as you have next time so we can actually lay full screen :)

good luck with your new house, hope all works out for ya

Thanks for the feedback and well wishes. Things are looking up for me at the moment. Once the house has been refurbished and the planned extension built I'll have a very comfortable (and safe) bungalow to live in. I'm really looking forwards to moving in. I spent half this afternoon falling aleep in what the previous occupants called the solarium. The whole south facing wall is a large double glazed window/patio door that looks onto a beautiful garden, with no houses in sight. Very relaxing and very warm. :) We have one of those electric reclining seats with foot rest, which is very comfortable. They've installed heating bulbs in so with those and the large south facing window, the room is beautifully warm. :)

The only down side is that we are converting this and the next door study into a garage. (The present garage is being converted to the master bedroom and the workshop behind it into my bolthole/study. The whole driveaway has to be redone, its presently concrete that was laid 60 years ago. It's still pretty solid, but we want something a little more modern, so decided to shift the entrance into the property to the opposite side of the garden (It then enters onto the main road in a straight as opposed to its present position which is at the end of a bend in the main road).

Wasn't sure I would like this game, but it was rather fun!
Ialso downloaded the player pack per link the rabbit gave us!

Whoa! What ar thos things with the ys on thm? it looks like a big 'ol fingr with ys! Fingrs don't hav ys!

If I can play the gam onlin for fr anytim I want to, thn why would I want to bloat my computr by adding it to it? That sms redundant and pointlss.

Are the grn squars th good guys and the red squars th bad guys? That's how it usually works, isn't it? Thr's som undsrvd prjudic against the color rd. Rd has a bad rap!

Wow! That full dscription is almost as short as the short dscription. Didn't anybody raliz that?

It should tak longr to play a gam thn it taks to writ a commnt about it!

What's up with no instructions. Instructions ar important! Thy ar almost as important as bing abl to us all the lttrs in the alpabt!

Sinc w stablishd ystrday that the lttr "E" isn't important, I dcidd to typ this commnt without using that lttr. Sav som war and tar on that partuclar ky on my kyboard. Thanks for that ida, Whit Rabbit!

Hav fun at your new hous!

Thanks Stephen :) but unfortunately there is only ONE executable C:\Games\Cyclop Physics.exe (CRC 4F370067) and it does NOT have any Wheemplay logo splashscreen video.

Would it be possible for you (or any other kind reader) to upload that particular .exe file somewhere and post the download link here?

Thanks in advance ;)

"two execxutables are installed" ?
Only ONE, Cyclop Physics.exe, here ...

If I maximize the window the game area remains of the same size of the restored window (in a maximized window frame)!!! :(

Any solution to this annoying bug?


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

When installing the game, two execxutables are installed. Use the version that has the Wheemplay video logo playing at the start of the game. That one will open to full screen. If it doesn't try changing your screen resolution temporarily.

Downloaded last time it was offered (2012-AUG-18) and it proved great for the youngsters. Thumbs up!

I'm back at the new house all afternoon. I'll answer any queries when I get back. sorry for the inconvinience. regards

Cyclop Physics:

You can play today's game online for free 24/7 HERE7 and there's more levels via the players pack (not included with todays giveaway) HERE (see video game play (walkthroughs so spoiler alert) below.

Installation:

downloads to a 16.6 MB zip file that unpacks to a read me and a wrapped setup file (the orange colored file with the key symbol), plus there's a setup file with security (setup.gcd) that's protected from being hacked (because the previous giveaway system was easily cracked). This file may case some security software to alert the user to a possible malware attack, but it will be a false positive.

The game giveaway team check all game giveaways for malware using several well known anti -malware suites. There has never been a game giveaway infected with malware since the project started back in Dec 2006. (The owners know that allowing such things would compromise their buisness, so they make sure all software given away via the giveaway and gamegiveaway sites are throughly checked for all types of malware before allowing community members to download any files.

Some community members have been having problems installing games since the security software was added. It's been found that turning off your security temporarily or configuring it to accept the setup.cgd file usually sorts the problem out.

To register and install the game click on the orange colored icon. The installed game is 8.73 MB in size. and installs to the following path (by default no folder just the executable) by default:


C:\Gamesg\Cyclops Physics

The path can be changed to suit whatever your wishes are. Once the game is installed you can delete the giveaway setup files. There is a shortcut installed to the desktop and one to the start menu plus you'll find an uninstaller. There's also a link to Playrix's site installed to the desktop. This can safely be deleted without compromising the game. :)

Actually two files are installed, both are the same apart from one has the wheemplay video logo included.





I've tested the game on a Win 7 and Win 8 systems and it works on both. I don't have a Vista or XP installation set up at the moment (and won't for several months until we move house later this year).

Introduction:

This game was previously given away last May 2012.

Click on the cyclops to make them change shape to get them safely onto the platforms that match their color. Full Description: Click on the cyclops to make them change shape to get them safely onto the platforms that match their color. Be sure to not get any onto platforms that don't

Reference accessed HERE 5th Jan 2010






The Game:

A typical Wheemplay physics game where you have to move green and red blocks from point A to point B using stationary and moving platforms. you can change the shape of the blocks to balls and back by clicking on them once.

There are 24 levels to work through, plus a sprint button which i've not got around to checkintg (I'm off to the house again so probably won't have time this morning). If anyone works through the levels please post info on this. Thank you.

There's a level editor included with the game, so you can create your own levels. :)

Please note that you must use the file that includes the wheemplay video if you want to play the game full screen. The other file won't maximise to full screen.

Video

You can see several 'spoiler' video's of HERE, HERE, HERE


There's a player pack available to play online with more levels. you can see a video of it HERE,



Conclusion:

As with most Wheemplay games, there's no instructions on how to play this game, but it's simple to pick up. you'll probably complete the whole game in less than 30 minutes. Still, the level editor that's included should enable you to extend the games playability. Designing levels can be as much fun as playing them. Pity there's no way of sharing them with others.

Problems:

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. 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 sometimes the grace period lasts for up to 2 hours, but more often than not 1 hour is the norm.



It’s always worth checking out the free games sites as sometimes the games we get here are also available for free from them. MyPlayCity has the most with over 600 games to choose from. You WILL find 4 Elements over at MyPlayCity (but not the Premium version).

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

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.

Regards

Whiterabbit aka Stephen
