Fun game. Actually probably best for the kids but we have gotten a few good hours of fun out of this one today. Installs and runs fine on Vista. Thanks for another good game.

#13, the game can be installed and uninstalled as many times as you want. The only catch is that you can only unlock the game within the 24 hour period it is offered. The install/uninstall itself has nothing to do with the activation. If your registry is smart, you'll even be able to reinstall after the giveaway has expired, and the game should still be activated. What are you so concerned about?

This game is a bit repetitive but it's still quite good. Thumbs up.

#21, id you like scare and gore, watch the news, any time any day, there's plenty there. Games should be fun, not more misery or fright.
This game looks good but crashed three times, said it had to close and I haven't got it to actually open so I could get a look at it.
I do have several of the gotd games and some software and I thank you very much, have my daughter hooked on it too. Thanks guys (and girls)

#16, I like monopoly and other board games. Lots better than "fuzzy bunny" type games. I do agree that a little more variety of game types and targeted age would be nice. Otherwise, this is a great site. I visit everyday, and download something about once or twice a week. Keep up the good work GGOTD!

This game's concept is not my thing, but possibly for others. Fair graphics, poor sound. Thumbs down as I do not think it is worth 20$.

@13 Yes, it can only be installed today. This is why it's called giveaway of the day.

Seems to be a neat game for little children. But what about me...?

[14] AAAAACCCKKK. There are SO many better games than monopoly or scrabble. We need more offerings like Ingenious!

I think the same as number 12. Ideal for children, but when do you offer games for adults?

It crashed for me right at the beginning..
Game over.
I noticed something too..
This game can be only installed once. Only today.
If I reinstall it another time, I won't be able to do it.

This is similar to the classic arcade game Defender except you don't have to move forward or back, just up and down. And we're talking cute and cuddly creatures instead of ships in in this Alawar version. I didn't try this on Vista (which btw, I had no problem running Tiny Worlds on Vista Home Premium, unlike some of the other reviews.) This game starts out very easy and gets harder, but is unlikely to impress either the classic gamer set or those over about 8. Not really my cup of caffeine, but then I didn't like Defender either. As I said it does get progressively harder (throw out accuracy and concentrate on strafing everything.) Ran on XP. As usual great graphics and nice soundtrack.

This is a welcome repeat from last December. My kids competed against each other for weeks to see who could get the better promotions. It has lovely graphics and great gameplay (although I'm sure some will say it's a little repetitive).

It's almost like a cartoon version of a shoot 'em up. Where Zak and Jack have to destroy wave upon wave of monsters attacking them. There are power ups to help you on your way. Watch out for the end of level bosses; you'll need to keep some of the extra missiles you earn during the game for the end of level otherwise you'll be toast. :)

This is worth a decent 7 out of 10, although from a childs perspective its probably worth at least an 8 out of 10. Either way it's worth a few moments of your time to download it and check it out. The first time around I wasn't sure about this game, but once the kids started to play it I knew it had been a worthwhile download, besides I started playing it myself and was pleasantly suprised at how addictive it was. If you have children, its a definite must have.

Thank you Alawar and the Game Giveaway team.

Interesting. I actually named this game, came up with it while chatting with the lead Alawar PR guy for North America.
About time I actually got to play it.
>=P.

I really appreciate the freeness of the games but I do have one complaint. It seems like a lot of them are kid targeted. I realize there are parents who download these for their kids but there are a lot more adults then kids coming to this site. But I will take my own advice which is, if you don't like it then don't download it. Thanks and I look forward to tomorrow.
