It's so good and cool but sometimes the levels are really boring but most of them are fun fun fun

The graphics are adorable and the sound and visual effects delightful

Blows me awy how people complain here EVERY DAY! I do not download everthing that is offered, and I don't complain about NOT DOWNLOADING anything! Y'all are just RUDE!

GIVE THANKS that these fine people offer these programs for free, if you don't want to download, so be it, don't complain about it for GOD's sake! Good GRIEF!

How would y'all feel if these fine folks QUIT this website?

LOL

Give me a break!

I've been coming here for about 6 months now, and I download what I want, and I don't complain about the stuff I DON'T want.

LOL

I appreciate EVERYTHING that these fine folks do.

God Bless 'em!

Peace,

TCS

Can someone please direct me to Game Giveaway of the Day? I seem to have wandered into WhiteRabbit's personal chat room by mistake.

Thank you :-)
The graphics are adorable and the sound and visual effects delightful. Very nice game - especially for those of us needing to maintain eye-hand co-ordination. I appreciate the 'family friendly' games and am glad to find interesting, entertaining games that are light-hearted, cheerful and do not include steaming cauldrons, creepy - scary characters or dark themes.

A good game for packman lovers. If you don't like pacman, this isn't for you.

will you all please try and have alien shooter or theseus:return of the hero or a game like them as a free game giveaway again,I had to totally format my computer because of a virus yesterday and lost the game,I ALSO LOST RIP 3 AND RIP:STRIKE BACK,would love to download any of these again,thanks

Please help!
How to make the joystick work?
In options, I check the option to use the joystick, and it does not allow the joy stick.

I check mark the joystick in options, but it does not "take". Does anyone know why? Please help.

Any thing free is Great! and I love the Giveaway a day Idea. As a fellow programmer I thnk this site is great to get your stuff out and be noticed. People do a lot of hard work on these Programs and Games. If you dont like what ya see just wait and I'm sure something will show up in your Interest. BE Greatfull for the Freebies because in todays world it hard to find as everything revolves around some kind of monetary gain. Great Job GAOTD!

I am new here and I just wanted to say..thank you! As we are new to games with computers I really appreciate your free games offers for my kids, who would not be able to have any games if it weren't for your generocity as we are not financially viable at the moment. This way my kids don't have to miss out and they don't think this is a lame game as they don't have any others...I think people should be more grateful of places like this..the alternative is to not have anyone offer free anything - would they be happy then..you guessed it - NO..they would be whining that no one was offering free things! lol If you like it, download it...if you don't..stop whining and wait to see if you like tomorrow's download better, but don't sound so ungracious..it makes you look like spoilt ugly people...and there are way too many of them in the world now..I am trying to teach my kids not to be so rude.

Am I able to register this game even though it is Free? Way to go peoples. Love the idea of being able to download for my grandchildren. THANK YOU

Game options DID list Joystick. Mine will not work with it & must use keyboard. (Or maybe it won't work with mine?) 8-)
I will be using my "2.16mb" elsewhere. 8-(

i downloaded the skymaze game and it was a trial version. It did not activate nor did it have a readme file. The game shows good for 49 times and you have to purchase. What is going on is there so problem

You're games are awesome! Thank you for giving them away for free.

"WhiteRabbit aka Stephen" - I've made a somewhat simllar idea in a "forum" discussion for multiple posts, "ego bloat", Etc.. There are many "interesting" topics discussed there. The "moderators" post there more frequently. It's sad all have to endure such immaturity.
```````````
A few comments on today's game mention the game is not limited to keyboard control only. I'll be giving it a try for that reason. I seem to recall another "3-D" game recently offered that had the player climbing ladders & avoiding the "bad guys" on different blocks. It wasn't a side-scroller"; but, I can't remember the name.

this is another great kids game, i am enjoying the variety. My son wil love this one. Thanks ggotd much appreciated.

Graphics were fun - but after 15 minutes of play, I still hadn't conquored the first baby level. Keyboard controls were very unresponsive. Maybe will try again later and give it a second chance. Though my cup of tea is RPG (not shoot'm ups) and puzzles (3 in row varieties). This one looks like it could be a lot of fun if I could ever master the keyboard.

LOVE this site. First thing I do on my computer every morning now while starting my day - check and set the computer for downloading! :) Thanks!!

Oops, just checked back to yesterday’s comments. Thanks Swan, I missed your reply till now. I noticed the Give away team didn't do anything about it though. This has happened before, but at least they responded that time. The person perpetrating this should have their IP banned from the site. Does anyone else agree?

My kids loved this game. It plays well and is similar to many of the pacman clones that I've come across over the past few months. It'll be a keeper for my family. Thank you GGAotD and Axysoft :)

Lori, I've posted links to free solitaire programs several times now, which would lead me to beleive you don't read the comments section. I posted one yesterday or the day before if you want to check. There are five free solitare games from the link I posted including Klondike solitaire.....

Dear Swan,
Regarding yesterdays post that you replied to saying it was very rude of me. I didn't write the comment. Someone else wrote it using my name. If you check back on previous posts you would see that this is not the sort of stuff I write. Also you will see that I did post later in the day to refute this and also to ask the GGAotD team to delete it. Please reply to let me know you have seen this, thank you

I haven't downloaded it yet but this looks like a fun game to me . Thank you

Not my style, but I see the appeal.

This game will delight the age group it is meant for. The graphics are fine.

Hey this is a pretty cool game. And its free.....
Thanks again. This is my first time here and love it.
I have ya bookmarked and I am emailing my friends later.

One neg I would also like to see mouse controls.
thanks

First of all, to #17 - Chipicha - don't be such a jerk! CatawbaGirl explained she was new to the site. Maybe she's unsure of what she needs to do. I hope YOU don't ever need assistance with anything someday...remember, what goes around comes around.

To CatawbaGirl: Looks like your question was answered further down, so I hope you were able to get everything going right. Please don't judge this site by the few morons who deem it necessary to be nasty to everyone.

To GAOTD: This game may not be good for me, but I STILL appreciate you offering it for free on your website. Thanks - and I'll keep coming back! :-)

Good morning everyone ;)

Activated and installed like a dream - as do all GOTD's offers (for me anyway.)

My pet peeve exists in this game also - no mouse controls!

AXYSOFT - PLEASE READ: Message #29

This game is a cutie for young children. I remember my sons playing easy games like this when they were young children, around 8 - 10 years of age.

The graphics are 'nice' and in good 3D - nothing innovative or outstanding to an adult - but will be well appreciated by little kids. Frankly, I think the graphics are nicer in 'ChromaWays' which is also a very basic and simple game - and also an Axysoft product.

There are lots of bugs (instead of monsters!) to avoid and plenty of bonuses.

However, I give it a BIG thumbs down because you can't save your scores or choose your music volume. In fact the options screen is one of the most basic I've seen for games.

The music for me is uncomfortably loud and I have to adjust my computer volume. Yes I know I can adjust my speakers too, but why should I when other games allow you to tailor your sound to the game. It makes it the perfect volume every time you launch it then.

As I said - a great game for kids, as long as they don't become frustrated with not being able to save their scores. As competitive as I am ;) it would have been a major frustration for me.

Thank you Axysoft - I really hope that you do read the comments here, since they're given without malice and provided for your own best interests.

GOTD - I'm very grateful for your site and all that you offer. You're leading the way in free software to the public and giving game developers a forum to show and have their work examined and criticized by seriously interested diverse potential buyers.

You're always my first stop for the morning! ;)
~ Swan

I have kids, they like these kind of games!
Even if games are similar, for them it's a new game everytime.
Thanks GAOTD!

This game is OK, it's better than the two most recent PacMan clones, Money Mania and Alonix. Keyboard controls are more responsive in this one and it does not have that annoying bug in Alonix where if your character lost a life it would reappear directly of top of another monster and immediately lose a second life.

The problem in this one is exactly opposite of the last two, controls are almost too responsive at times. When there's three rows of dots to grab it's sometimes hard to keep the character consistently on the middle row because it responds too fast to arrow keys. Unlike the last two, this one needs a lighter touch on the keys, especially when there's three rows of dots. Other than that, as PacMan clones go Sky Maze is fairly easy so may be more suitable for kids.

The graphics are nice but nothing to write home about, the game in general doesn't live up to the seller's very enthusiastic description. Fine for free today but not worth it's normal price of $19.95, especially when compared to other games of the same price. In my opinion Sky Maze is lukewarm, not bad enough to be a thumbs down but not good enough to be a thumbs up either. Like another poster I have not been thrilled with the AxySoft games, most got boring quickly. The only ones I have kept are two offered in March, Chroma Ways which is unique and very funny and the Qix clone AirXonix which is challenging and freaky. Any of the other AxySoft games were uninstalled within a day.

Hardwood products would be nice

You can't please all of the people all of the time. I think this is perfect for my grandkids....Thank you, GAOTD...Anne

HOW ABOUT MYSTERY SOLITAIRE OR KLONDIKE SOLITAIRE, HARDWOOD SOLITAIRE. THOSE WOULD BE NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE

Very well-made 3-D Pacman-type game, especially suited for kids. Has option for gamepad. Can be played with one hand--for those of you playing and holding a baby at the same time. ;) Movement and mazes are more like in the original game. "Readme" document installed on start menu lists some cheat codes and playing information. Had a problem only when running it in a window instead of full-screen: The keyboard controls were sluggish--barely usable for making turns.

Anyone who likes Pacman games should like this one, I think. Thanks AxySoft and GGotD!

CatawbaGirl and others new to the site: Welcome. I've been coming here since December 2006. You don't get a registration key. You have to run the 'activate.exe' file first which will register the program for you. Then you run the 'setup.exe' file to install the program. This is the usual procedure for registering and installing games from this site. You are only able to have it for "FREE" if you install it today. And it will default back to a shareware version if you try to install it at any other time, or you lose the original installation somehow.

The purpose of the comment section is to leave feedback for the developer of the game. GAOTD is not here solely to give free games away. They are here so that developers can get contructive criticism of their games and programs to improve them. If you do not intend to download a game, then just leave quietly. Those who do download, should offer their comments about the game. Stating that a game is "lame" is not helpful. Consider the age group for which the game is intended, enter your comments based on that, not only on what you like. Not everyone wants to kill, shoot, and mutilate. If I wanted to create buzz about a game, I would only offer the best games free to the first 100, each should evaluate the game or not receive any more free games for a time. Perhaps more would appreciate the efforts of GAOTD.

This game does not quite live up to the pacman ideal. He won't react to the keyboard. It's like he's on ice and you tell him left and slip right into the oncoming monster he goes! I have a joystick but my hands hurt from mashing arrow keys so I guess I'll have to try that some other time. Chrono-ways! Now that's a new twist on an old favorite! Love it! This one I'll keep I guess.

this one looks like the same as pacman

Catawba Girl. . . This one has an "Activate" icon that you just need to click. Often, the game giveaways activate themselves. Sometimes, there's a registration key in a little window that pops up (from which you copy/paste the key). You have to watch for this one as the little window usually ends up behind all of the other windows that open when installing the software. SOMEtimes, there's a routine for activating software that is a bit more complex. Usually some kind person will explain an easier way to go about activation. If you forgot to click the "Activate" icon this time, just re-install.

THE GAMES ARE FREE. If you dont like them, wait till tomorrow or the next day. To constantly come on here and be rude to people is just retarded. A person had to ask a question and had to preface that question with PLEASE BE NICE? Then people were STILL rude about it. Show some maturity. Be grateful for the games that you do like. Like I said if you dont like the game MOVE ON. Why do you have to be rude on top of you obviously having nothing else better to do with your time other then sit here and bash others and this site?!?!

back from vacation-what did i miss? games are free! ty ty ty GAOTD!!my thought is, if you don't like-delete, have complaints? don't come back. GAOTD is ver simply put--GREAT!

Also thanks!

this game is cool!

yeah its a pacman clone but
i like this one more then the original pacman

great sound and graphics!

luvin it

hi, my 1st comment on give away of the day
i have download many of the free games and am very happy with them!
like axy snake, bobble world ect

why do ppl always moan?

anyway, s massive thank you to give away of the day

keep it up

downloaded twice, removed both times...music and sounds won't play...

Cheers!

CatawbaGirl, the file named "README" in the zip file isn't just for decoration, y'know.

thanks for the free opportunity,but will pass on this one.see you tomarrow.

It's a Pac-Man clone. With bad art.

Hi-

Please be nice, I am new to this site. Where to I find the registration key for the games so they stay free?

How many more Pacman knock-offs are there ?

What's next?
A fully featured sound and monochrome vision extravaganza of "Pong"? I bet you would still have dozens of people claiming how magnificient it is and how they have been waiting for it.

What really gets to me is to see each of those games being sold for prices that are ridiculous. 20 USD for this ... when you could buy a professional made top notch game (from a year ago) for the same amount...have people really become that lazy that they can't even be bothered to peruse a store.

Good game for kids. Thank you
