Downloaded this for my kids (8, 10 and 12 years old) and they LOVE it. Thanks GOTD!

Nice RTS game with progressive increasing difficulty. Definitetly worth trying out. 1 playable race (merman). The opposing force seems a bit tougher stats-wise but isn't too pushing ingame. Otherwise units are comparable and have an near exact counterpart.

For a future version i suggest adding different resolutions / Antialiasing options, maybe also a forced v-sync.

Good work :)

This is one of the few computer games I've actually enjoyed playing and didn't want to uninstall after playing it for a couple of hours. I might even look at other similar games from Big Fish. This was a great giveaway, thanks.

I like this game! It's bright and colorful, but has fighting and destroying, so it will appeal to both females and males. I also like that this game has you make use of strategic mentality. Yes, it's like underwater Warcraft, but isn't as long, giving you a quicker sense of accomplishment when you finish the game. (i.e. it doesn't eat your soul for a month) XD

No thanks. I have no complaints. Haven't tried it. I'd like to see some Hidden Items games please. Thanks GGOTD.

see it as a nice game. But it freezes after stage 2 and 3 and it does not want to save stage 3 and go on to the next stage. Don't waste your time to download it.

this is what is stated in the info file after extracting - will not operate on my computer - yet i have all the above requirements - Graphics error: An exception has been thrown! - very weird with Q3A and other games work with my graphics. Oh Well - i'll keep it handy - maybe i will find a fix
tyvm GAOTD !!!!!!!! you do rock

Did not work with Vista.
:(

This game came out on my birthday, definitely going to try it. Looks good... Thanks!

@26. You need the keyboard bacause the game won't progress without pressing a key to continue.

Yeah, I remember this game. I don't think I even had it for an hour before deletion. This kind of war strategy games aren't my kind of thing. And it does remind me of warcraft which I haven't taken out of the drawer of dusty objects for over a year.

#26 Joe...

Yes it is a mouse controlled game.

Hmm, after reading todays comments I think I'll pass on this one and continue playing Starcraft:D

#25 Ambrosia.... Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I had already tried them. It never showed up under Programs, let alone have an Uninstall area (that was the first thing I'd checked). The second thing I tried was Add/Remove in the Control Panel and - you guessed it - it didn't show up there either. I then tried CCleaner and WinUtilities, all to no avail. It didn't show up anywhere. I finally just threw it away and am now running various system scans to make sure it's off of my system.
It looked like such a fun game, too.....

I downloaded this last time and I found it to be very entertaining. Great Game! Thanks :)

It didn't work, probably because I didn't have enough whatever on my computer, which was fine. However the problem was that I couldn't uninstall it. It does not show up in "add/remove programs" & it did not come with an uninstall file. I was only able to delete most of the files in it, but not the program itself. Follow up help would be nice to get it off my computer.

Multiple delete and re-installs WinXP w/SP3 no go says unexpected problem, thcopy log files and thanks for beta testing:P
Tried re-downloading too. and from them same thing

I don't know what so many people are complaining about. This is a great game! I guess if you're used to games like WoW and such, this won't seem spectacular. But I don't play those games, so this is fantastic to me. And even my PS3 jaded 11-year old son likes it.

**#26- Yes, it uses the mouse (as far as I got, anyway).

This game is pure garbage. It won't run, the window freezes, and there is no way to uninstall the game once installed. I can't find the game under any name in the add/remove programs and the winutils application that I downloaded this past week can't find the game, but there are registry entries. I recommend that no one download this game.

I would describe Deep Quest as a fantasy themed RTS for kids. Controls are rather simple (mostly point and click), colors are bright, and about as violent as Disney's The Little Mermaid ever got. Adults will most likely find it boring. No problems running it on Windows Vista. Thanks Merscom & GGOTD!

#14

There is nothing to uninstall, just delete the game's folder an you will be OK.

Well well.. another repeat. Who could have seen this happening? Actually anyone who has come here the last three months or so. Every weekend has been the same... repeats. Will GGAOTD ever offer fresh, nonrepeat games? I hope so but the signs don't look like it.

The graphics don't work for me. Can't read any of the fancy text. And the mouse is extremely difficult to control. I probably have an inadequate graphics card.

#26, you need to hit a key to continue in the menus. The mouse button doesn't do it.

Could someone please report if this is a mouse only controlled game, as we aren't capable of using the keyboard to play.
Thanks!

#14 Linda...

I am still running XP with service pack 2, but perhaps this advice will be pertinent, if Microsoft hasn't mucked up anything with service pack 3. Did you check under Programs to see if it has an uninstall? My copy does. Also, if it doesn't have an uninstall, then go to your Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and choose it from the list. But I am willing to wager if you look under Programs first you will find it does indeed come with an uninstall, as my copy does.

Could not get this to run right on XP sp3. It got to the main screen but only half of the graphics worked. Could not read anything on the options page. Oh well. Thanks anyway even though I have to delete it.

I keep getting a fatal error: invalid vector subscript.

Passing on this one today. Will be back tomorrow. Second vote for more Hidden Object games.

Right on, #15 and #16!! And, as I ask every week, Please can we get ChromaWay again?

oops, sorry! meant to write:
"both my daughter and I...."

oh, goody! I had to delete this game, had computer problems.Enjoyed playing it, so did my daughter. will give it another go, thanks!
Both my daughter do enjoy the hidden objects type of game. Hopefully the GOTD team will/could offer another ? :)

I downloaded this game last time. I got bored/frustrated with some of the levels, but found the gameplay good overall. I do not recall any freeze or other technical issues with the game on my XP computer.

Hey all. GREAT GAME!!! i have one comment that people have not said, and that was the healers. I was never able to have my healers automatically heal people. Despite this though, is still on my top 5 list.

sorry, I don't like quest games, how about hidden object games

Thumbs up! And for people complaining about repeats of the same games. hey, some of us have just found the site recently so its not repeats for all of us. this is a great site that gives us FREE games!

This freezes up on me on the main menu - no mouse (or any) control. When I do ctrl-alt-del, I find a message to copy 3 different files to send to their beta team. As I didn't download this to test it, I tried to uninstall it. 3 different uninstall programs could not find it anywhere on my computer! How do I get rid of the darn thing? I'm running XP with service pack 3.
This is probably not the place to post this, but I figured others should be forwarned that once you have it, you may not be able to use - or get rid - of it.

Maybe its the amount of wine consumed, but this seems realllllyyyy slow in its playing - I fell asleep waiting for my whatevers to get the first challenge - rocks - crystals - whatever. For this sort of game it really has to move faster - monster mash is at least faster and therefore more satisfying - I will now delete the game, but thanks anyway GGOATD

I am a time-management game player, and found this game fairly intriguing the last time it was a giveaway. I also had problems with level 8, found it freezing up and semi-buggy, hopefully this is a new and improved version, I'll be checking back throughout the day hoping that it is! It's been over a month since I've found a game worthy of playing on the comp... so for now, back to VIVA TIP on X-box ;) Happy saturday!

Similar to the old Warcraft from Blizzard (not World of Warcraft). Only the default resolution available with the option to run in Window mode. Simple game play.

Installation does not create an icon on the desktop, as it is only a WinZip self unpacker.

Underwater Warcraft with crappy graphics? No thanks.

Thoroughly liked the game when it was available here earlier. However, never got past mission 8, which was quite frustrating.
Does anyone know whether this is the same or an improved version of the game?

If you don't have it already, give it a try!

A poor and buggy clone of Starcraft/Warcraft.

I got this game the last time it was given away. It is a real time strategy game kind of like the original warcraft only underwater with mermen and fish creatures instead of on land with humans and orcs. There are resources that need to be mined by the creatures (I forget what they are named in the game) that are peasants, and they build buildings for different fighting classes so those soldiers/mages can be created by you. There are towers available as well... you get the idea, I'm sure.

The game play is smooth and the instructions easy to follow.

My criticism of the game is that it doesn't have a map editor feature so you can't create your own scenarios, making it limited in that manner of continued playability. Otherwise, the game rocks.

I have played it all the way through a couple of times and it was loads of fun. I highly recommend the game.

Thanks, Merscom, GGOTD Team. Is there a sequel coming out? :-p

Pros:
- decent graphics (for its small installation size)
- simple gameplay
- fast loading
- intuitive interface (if you've played other RTS games before)

Cons:
- lousy unit selection (could do with better work on selection bounding boxes). Try right-clicking an enemy unit that's near a building.
- micro-ing units is a pain (no tab-selection within group)

yet another repeat...

and it is maybe a 4/10 game...

don't waste your time...

I love free stuff...

But darn can we get something new... or good...

Downloaded and installed on XP no problems. I had to find the shortcut in the folder myself. Looks like a great game. Thanks GGOTD.

Looks more like a "underwater WarCraft" :/

tells me the code is invalid

This has been given away before...not that im complaining due to having another computer i can put it on now. Not a bad strategy style game. Underwater C&C
Cheers
