I was wondering if you ever repeat any games to become available. I was just introduced to this site and I see some games that I would love to have but they don't seem to be available anymore. Please let me know. This is one of the games I would like to have for my kids.

Schöne Graphiken und bestimmt ein amüsantes Spiel, aber leider ist man auf diese entsetzliche Fistelstimme angewiesen, um einige unverständliche Spiele überhaupt zu verstehen. Kann zwar sonst leidlich Englisch, aber davon verstehe ich kaum ein Wort. Der Autor dieses Spieles sollte sich erbarmen, eine verständliche Kurzanleitung für die einzelnen Spiele, möglichst auch in Deutsch, zu veröffentlichen, aber das bleibt wohl eine Illusion ! Wolli

This has to be the most annoying game EVER! The voice that gives the instructions is like fingernails on a blackboard. It could have been cute, but instead, it's nausea inducing. To be deleted forthwith.

That voice is sooooooo annoying but you can't disable it as you can't hear the instructions (not that they're really necessary once you've played the game once) but it would be nice to have a normal voice (perhaps an older child).
I just want to find that kid and kill her !! grrrrr !!

Awesome! I got this and the kitten one last time for my 10 and 7 year olds and they love it! Only issue was, I didn't have their pc's built yet and they monopolized my pc and fought over it. Now they each have their own puppies!

This is a great game and I have only one comment for the distribution part for those still "stuck" on dial up. With the larger programs I think that they should be offered in smaller parts.

I run a freeware website and take into consideration those on dial up and have it set up in parts and have had no complaints at all so far.

I feel that dial up users should have the opportunity to have this and some other great software programs that ya'll offer as well.

As always, Thank you for the awesome offer!

Like someone else stated ... I never click over to the games, but when I saw the box with puppies on it, well, I just couldn't resist. I hope the I Love Kittens is tomorrows give away ... and then the Koi Pond screen saver.

This company actually makes some great products that I purchased and am relying on every day. I had no idea they made these games also. At least I know they are good quality products before I even download the I Love Puppies game! Thanks GOTD for bringing us something just for the fun of it, that we can share with our little ones.

I'll be keepin' my eye out for the kittens to pop up in the games give away!

If you've activated it, then it's already extracted, and the location was shown during that process. If you didn't notice where you extracted to, run it again and see, but there's no need to extract the files a second time.

It doesn't run for me. The only file that looks like a launcher is 'loader', and then a blank window opens, but nothing else. Tried re-installing several times, and yes, I have activated.

#58 what do you mean there is no installation? After unzipping there is just the setup.exe and the readme. And you said you have to create the folder first? During installation it says that a folder will be created if it doesn't exist. Are we looking at different downloads?

After reading these comments I just have to say it: nobody cares if you don't like it but people don't demand or request things from a free site. Telling a free site what to offer is pointless since you're only only to get what they give you. Not what you want. This isn't your personal free software shopping site. Hate it or like it, but don't make demands on a site that offers you free software and probably doesn't give a crap what you want anyway.

With that said, gave it a whirl but it's not my type of game. Thanks anyway GOTD and I look forward to tomorrow!

Installation:

The 253Mb zipped file unzips to two files, the read me and the set up file, which once installed is 414Mb. Which is about right for this style of game.

Introduction & Game info:

This is definitely aimed at children (IMO), and therefore if you have children, especially boys, this is a must have (though I’m sure the girls will like it as well). I do think that it will require adult supervision though especially initially because there are a lot of instructions give throughout the game.

Once you have activated a user (by inputting your name) whenever you return to the game your name will be assigned to one of the four dogs that you can choose from; of which there are four. The main menu has four categories, Training, Care, Fun and Games and Treasure Chest. Apart from the treasure chest each section contains at least six or more games. I counted 22 distinctly different games. Each one presented in the same way, with an introductory screen, and then once you first enter you will be
Given a commentary about the basic game play and the controls you need to use. These are usually a combination of both the keyboard and mouse, though the keyboard figures mostly.

The treasure chest contains some surprises that you have to earn by playing the games from the other three sections.

Each game has it’s own high score. When you attain a score that is high enough to go on the score board a ribbon appears on the games selection screen over that particular game. You can see what I mean by checking out the screen captures I’ve taken

I started taking screen captures of each game, but decided to stop once I reach about 40 screen captures. I also considered creating a file for users to download, but the last time I did that, there were only a few downloads. The effort therefore isn’t really worth it (I apologize to those few who would have found a use for such a file)

The games use a combination of the keyboard and the mouse, though it seemed to me that the keyboard figured far more than the mouse. I’m sure the kids will pick different controls though as despite each game having slightly different combinations of keys and mouse usage, there are only certain keys used when you look at the game in it’s entirety.

You can access the game settings from the cog like symbol found in the lower left of the screen. Here you will find sliders to control the voice of the instructress, the music and the sound effects as well as a toggle for switching to windowed mode.

Screen Captures:

Not Copied

System Requirements:

You can see the requirements at the top of this page. You will need a graphics card that has at least 64Mb of memory. If your computer doesn’t have a graphics card, it may still have a graphics chip on the motherboard, however unless you have a fairly new computer the chip may not support the amount of memory you need. If you aren’t sure you can find out by going top the start menu and clicking on the run command and entering dxdiag (it’s not case sensitive) then click on okay. The DXDiagnostics window will pop up. Click on the Display tab ad you should be able to discover what your graphics card or onboard chip supports (look in the device section where it says Approx. total memory)

Conclusion:

Wow, what a lot you get with this game. Despite it obviously being aimed at a specific market, I found some of the games quite entertaining myself. I think, speaking for my child this is worth 9 out of 10, though for an adult it would probably be worth much less.

The graphics are well done and the in game help is excellent. It’s always available by clicking on the question mark '?' to the bottom right of the playing area and can be turned off immediately by clicking on the Esc key.

Thank you very much Try-Synergy and the Game Giveaway team for a wonderful game.

It looks good, but I was hoping for something better. You should put up more sim games. I liked Bloom. That was one of my favorite games... But, free stuff is free stuff, so I won't complain.

For those of you who are having trouble with the download, try making a folder specifically for that game on your desk top and install it into that folder. it generally works that way. BUT my opinion of the game on this one will have to come from my 7 yr old who didn't even want to continue playing after a few minutes, she was bored with it. Thanks GGOTD for the game but this one failed in our house.

I want to add to my previous comment. There is no installation now. You unzip the game to a folder that you choose. That is much better. However that folder must exist before the installation process begins so make your folder first. I recommend unzipping to a memory stick. It takes longer but it's easier to delete if you don't like it. I forgot also in my first post to thank the GGAOTD team. We all appreciate your efforts. Thank you also to the publisher Tri Synergy.

I predicted two days of repeat game. But I predicted Merscom games. I didn't see the switch to Tri Synergy coming. But bottom line is this is a repeat. I seem to remember I passed on this last time. Not because of it's large size. But the default install was c:\program files\... and it could not be changed. I don't install any games in my program file folder. I have a games folder for that. Hopefully this time around the installation process will be more flexible. Let's hope tomorrow's game is not another repeat.

"Just like a good mother cat".....?

Well, I can see the mistake: The kitten game is basically the same except for the species.

This is really cute and I left it on for my grandkids the last time it was offered, but not much there for adults. I'm bummed out because I missed the match-3 last week.

A "Must-Have" for pre-schoolers to 8 or 9 year olds who are not too violent minded. It's adorable ... works on Vista as well as XP ... some are tough for a 3 year old but some are easy enough for his motor skills. A few are even tough enough to challenge Nana! The voices are rather annoying but otherwise it is a really great game for the little ones!!! My grandson and great-niece particularly will sit at it for hours if I let them! (ages 3 and 5) My great-nephew (very advanced 8) tires of it after about a half hour but does enjoy certain activities.

Hi All
I can usually download any game from this site - I have Vista. But when I try to set up this game I get a message telling me that it can't find the destination file.
worse still I'm not able to uninstall it. Any ideas?

Thx

Cute Game. I can see where adults would be bored or annoyed by it. I downloaded it anyway because I think my grandkids will enjoy it. I tried one 'game' with the pups-catch them in the basket. It plays just as well from a burned CD as it does from the HD. Now I have it available if the kids want to try it.

I really don't mind the mix of mature and kid friendly games that are being offered. Some I download, others I don't. That's called freedom! Keep 'em comin'. Thanks.

My 7 year old & I grabbed this game and found that it is really not worth it. We beat the entire game in just one evening! I see this game for sale in bargin bins all the time and think that it's not even worth the sale price. This is shame because when we first got we were really looking forward to it.

Suggestions for the future:
1) More actual interaction between puppy and player.
Just choosing and naming it is not enough. We wanted to take care of it, see it react and learn tricks in addition to putting it through the minigames.

2) Better reward system for completing tasks
(I'm sorry but unlocking a picture did not feel exciting or valuable)

3) Longer!!! 1 seven year old, 1 evening-honestly..? That's extremely disappointing.
