The updates of this program help quite a bit. The translation to English is still quite rough, however, adding a graphic of the person speaking helps. Being able to finish the game is also quite a large benefit. (Even though it seems quite an abrupt Deus ex machina.

My dauaghter loves tetras type games. This one is great. Thanks so much.

@14 Anidem:

You can change the shortcut icon to the proper one if you know how to change icons in Windows. (Right-click the shortcut and select "Properties" from the menu. Click the "Change Icon" button. Click on "Browse" in the next box, and navigate to the program's installed folder. The icon should be visible there.)

#4, Sparrow, just as #5 said, I enjoyed your review. If I am unsure as to whether or not I want to try an offered selection, #1, WR, aka, Stephen's reviews, as well as BladedThoth's, help me decide either way. In today's case, it was yours, as well as #1's; just thought you might enjoy knowing that. :)

A nice blockdropper with a real storyline, although a bit blabby by my standards. good graphics and smooth gameplay top off this interesting touch on Tetris.

1 oddity, it has the same desktop icon as this days other game, the Fairy theme, WTH??!?!?!?!?!

Diane comment #12, did you have the 3D acceleration turned off :?: I turned it off before I started playing and it kept crashing after the first few bricks were placed. I filled in those Email reports that you get when the game crashes, then tried installing the game on another computer. It worked first time. :D I'd forgotten about changing the 3D acceleration from the options menu, so went back into options and changed it to running. The game worked perfectly after that.

I played the game for a few hours and apart from some occasional grammatical mistakes in the story (which most of us do constantly here on these comments sections :oops: ), I found the game to be very entertaining and challenging. I actually like the story line; it adds some substance to the game, though the way the girl waves her arms around to the left of the building area is a little crazy. :lol:

I agree with you totally Bluhoteyes; the game does become challenging as you progress. I’ve had some real fun today with both giveaways. I can hardly believe the thumbs up/ thumbs down ratios for either of these fantastic games :o Still, as I always say, we’re all entitled to our opinions.

I’m still hoping a circular rotation will be introduced later in the game, but then again, maybe that will make the game too easy? I suggested to the developer via email that some mini games would improve the games attractiveness a lot as it seems that the most popular games such as Luxor 3 have plenty of those. Thank you very much Oleg for allowing the Game Giveaway team to repeat this most excellent of games.

I think it’s worth at least 7 out of 10 based on what I’ve played so far. I’m tempted to give more, but it does lack something that would stop me from purchasing it. :lol:

no download this time won't work on vista, how about some hidden object games

This game has a concept with depth and complex psychology behind it. I look forward to trying it.

This game still doesn't work for me! I'm using Vista Ultimate. If I'm in full screen mode, I could play about 3 blocks before it crashed. If I'm in windowed mode it crashed as soon as the first hint wanted to pop up.

Oddly enough, it apparently didn't uninstall completely the last time. All the files were gone but there must have been something in the Registry (or the same company recognizes the same names). I didn't have to give it a name. It used the name I gave it earlier (which is the same as the one I gave to flowers this morning).

Their uninstall may need some work as well as their program!

AWESOME :) Happy to see they reoffered it with the ending i seen it had like over 80 levels :) thank you GGAOTD for getting the full version admin we knew you could do it for us:) *Hugs* much appreciated and to those that are giving this a thumbs down you must not have even tried it as it is a great game with good graphics and options i would say b4 you decide not to get this give it a try you will be impressed with the challenge it will give you in the later levels trust me on this :)

Thank u GGAOTD, I have this game from the first day it was given and I have play it a lot (I've almost finished the second map). It is not much difficult but I enjoy it a lot every time I play. It's good that today people can have it, cos I have friends who want to have it. I'll call them!!! ;)

OK!!!!

this is an excelent game my children enjoyed it as I enjoy it,

i had it a couple of years a go and for got to save when i repaired my computerand i rate it a9.

thank you #4 for your review-I have a relative who enjoys sitting at the computer-but the adrenaline pumping games are just to much.
I will try this one for them

I just wanted to leave a comment because I remember a lot of negative comments the last time this game was given away. It took he risk and downloaded it anyway and I have played the game for HOURS! It's a great puzzle game if you like to spend more time thinking and planning instead of racing against the clock. There are a few timed levels, but most levels let you take as much time as you want. I have found this to be a very relaxing game, which is a nice change of pace from other games that get my adrenaline pumping. Some people might find it boring, but if you enjoy slow-paced "time wasters" like solitaire, you'll probably enjoy this game.

Thank you folks at GGOTD for the re-run. The game was incomplete the first time, and I was hoping for the chance to play the game through.
I like the game as it's a puzzle game where logic is more important than speed. Give it a try!

Thanks so much for giving this over again! The other time I must have somehow interupted it's download, as it didn't save right, & then the time was up to get it. So I am happy! :) So far I haven't done really great on the game (lol@me!) but I'll keep trying. :) My grandchild can probably do better & show me how. lol:) Thanks again! :)

Thank you for the rerun, here's my comment from the first time this was given away. Unfortunately this game received a very poor rating the first time it was given away, (38% of 170 votes) and didn't get many positive reviews, though I personally though it was a great game:

This is a new game from Meridian 93.

Watch out for the select additional tasks window when setting up the game because if you just click to install you’ll miss the tick boxes, which you will need to tick if you want a shortcut on the desk top. However if you do miss it you can always create a desktop shortcut from the start menu programs list, by right clicking and selecting ‘Send to the Desktop'.

The Game presents with a good looking main menu, which I hope is an indication of the overall quality of the game. The options menu includes the music and sound sliders as well as a windowed mode, 3D Acceleration and Special Cursor. The special cursor makes the cursor look like a fountain of colored stars which will probably appeal to the younger kids (as it did to me) :lol:

When the game starts for the first time you will be prompted for a profile name. Then thereafter to create another profile you will need to click on the Click Here button at the bottom of the screen.

The game starts with a short story, then a one page tutorial on how to move the blocks which can be moved left or right using the keyboards arrow keys or moving the mouse to the left or right. Once a block is in it’s correct line you can help it to drop quicker by pressing the left mouse button, or the down arrow key. The aim of the game is to build a tower. If you place a block in the wrong place early in the game you will get a tutorial message to tell you what you did wrong. I thought you may be able to rotate the pieces falling by clicking on the up arrow, but this caused the shape to fall and a message said not to try and rotate the piece, which would lead me to believe that in later levels this may be possible. The game seems to be an unusual type Tetris clone. (but better than the traditional tetris IMO). You can pause the game at any point by using the Esc key.


From what I’ve seen of the game so far though it looks promising. So my advice is, give it a whirl. I can’t give it a score though as I’ve not fully evaluated the game yet. I’m still at the stage where tutorial hints are popping up, so there’s obviously more to discover.
The lack of a proper help menu does spoil the game a little, as despite the tutorial screens, I personally think there is always a use for having at least a hard copy of how to play the game kept in the games folder, but better still accessible from the main menu. For example, when a block is initially falling you can see it has a particular texture which will give it a specific characteristic such as marble or brick. The towers you build look like their stability depends upon the correct placement of these blocks so it would have been useful to know from a help menu what each of these textures represents.

I’ve posted a few screenshots, but as mentioned above I’ve not completed the tutorial, so don’t think that what you see is all there is too it. Thank you.

To Meridian 93 and the giveaway team, thank you for a reasonable game. On first inspection it seems like it’s going to be interesting to play. Sorry my original review was cut short due to a hospital appointment and I haven't the time to expand on todays re-run. I'd definitely try it out, especially if you missed it the first time around.
