Columns 2 was recently released on Nintendo Switch, so to see a game follow in this style of play is a refreshing change from the normal match game.

Ooh, I like this one! Yes, it's old and a bit clunky, but then so am I - it isn't superfast (too fast for me to run after), it isn't all in darkness (my eyes don't do dark, these days) and it's possible to complete a level without yelling for help. It's bright and colourful, the tasks (so far) are manageable, and I managed to get through the first five sections without resorting to a strong cuppa to keep my spirits up!

No problems with the download or the installation (Win 10 laptop) and all still seems to be working, including me. So, yes - a brilliant offering today! Many thanks as ever to GGAOTD, to Toomky Games and the always reliable Whiterabbit for his review, which as ever is a good way of deciding whether a game is for me, or not.

This one is for me - you must have remembered my recent birthday! - and I'm going back shortly for another session and, I hope, a few more jewels to add to my collection. Thanks again!

WhiteRabbit, I want you to know how much I appreciate your review of games over the several years (can't remember how many right now) I've been coming to game.giveawayoftheday.com. I'm 78 and used to enjoy HOG games but in recent years I prefer Match3. You and your family stay safe, too.

Don't like that you have to start the entire game over if you don't complete 1 task. Graphics not really clear.
Was also buggy on exit with error message.

Thanks White Rabbit-UK for your comments... I am always looking for new games to recommend to my senior friends and to people I know with disabilities for them to build brain power. These are great games for Stroke patients looking to improve cognitive function and still have fun playing a game. Looking forward to testing it out myself

THIS IS A FREE GAME

Game had some issues with Windows 10, first off, I had to install DirectPlay, which Windows was able to do rather simply. Next, I had a graphics issue in which the bottom of the window was cut off, and it didn't matter if it was windowed or fullscreen, and whether or not the taskbar was visible. That was simple to fix by going into properties, change high DPI settings, and checking the box after DPI settings to let the program do DPI for itself. (It's a box at the bottom). However, I don't like to play Jewel drop games, so after all that work, I decided to delete the game and that is where my review ends. By the way, I could not do anything with my mouse so there may be other issues I have not covered here. It does look rather ancient, but not ugly unless you think old games are ugly. It's very colorful.

I cannot even get past the splash screen. Anybody doing any better?
