I like the game but even i got it all done. then it is over. trying again is no fun

Very addicting & lots of color. Enjoyed the 3 different types of games to play.

Definately a thumbs UP!

Either this game is infected or the wrapper is. When installing, I chose not to install the updater program. Now it keeps trying to install a debugger program. I'm going to have to uninstall the game, and won't be downloading any more until the update program no longer is attached to your downloads. That's too bad; until now your offerings have been both safe and interesting. Please consider returning to a "clean" download.

Thanks.

I've been checkin and gettin games here now for the past couple of years. And this is my favorite one so far.
Two big toes and two thumbs up!

Played the whole game -- every level in all three modes -- in less than two days. Same as Cubis, but not nearly as challenging. Also, far too short for my money. Once I played all the levels, the same levels came back, and although my memory isn't great, I remembered enough to get bored.

I would recommend Cubis over this for that alone.

I didn't comment after downloading, til now, because I liked it so much that I played it all the way to the end! THANK YOU, GOTD & REALORE!!! :)

Whiterabbit, Re #59 Thanks for that, pleased to be of assistance

I have compiled " XP MAGIC SECRETS " that your welcome to have, which is a list of rules, if you like, to avoid all the pitfalls in computing, together with a list of all the good programs to use. It's really helpful to beginners, and those with experience too.

I had to learn everything the hard way, when I got my first computer in 2005, when I was 55 years old, and it was a real learning curve for me, being a retired motor mechanic.

Do you have a simple, straight forward tutorial for :

1 System file checker
2 Check disc
3 Scan disc
4 Ghosting an operating system to back it up.

I frequently find that google-ing things doesn't help, because they use technical esoteric jargon.

Regards Bill3.

Whiterabbit, thanks for all your hard work and so much of your time spent. You make this site better for those who are newbies as well as those of us with some skills but not a lot of time. I had no problems with installing, registering or playing in timed mode. It does remember where I left off so I can pick up at the last level or choose a level to start. I'm running a rickety old laptop with XP Pro SP3, with hardy any space. The game is installed on my external HD.
Thanks to reallore and gotd!

Cubis is one of my favorite games. thanks this one can be challengeing.

thanks
girlwood

Great game. Shame it is only about 2 hours of gameplay.

This is the best little game I've downloaded in ages! Far and the best giveaway in months.
It has three play settings and more levels than I have yet to see, making the continual-play value very high!
Thanks so much!

I liked the game. It is enough to keep you playing but not tedious

By the way the toy greatly well! Addiktiv! I thanks!

One DLL possible viral! Registraton demands after 15000 full stop recording! I was not aware of the Russ writing to pick out!

is it only me, or is it really annoying that there's no profiles, and the games starts at level 1 every time? No saving of progress and back to square 1. (If these options are there and I'm missing them, please point the way)

Thanks so much Whiterabbit. I reinstalled and it works great. AS for the other games, thanks so much. AFter I sent the last post I went to the forums and found some games that I had missed before. Apologies.

You do great work. Remember - for every complainer, there are many more appreciate-ers that just don't say anything!

This is a Real treasure. Everyone complained so much about the Match 3's, I'm glad to see a new one come along.

very nice game for bejewelled oriental music fans

I get a laugh out of the comments here, its more entertainment than the games....
"trial and error fault finding" means you don't know what you are doing.
Its always a defrag or a reformat or other BS that cures it because you don't know how to troubleshoot the real reason./

edit

Note from Moderator; most fault finding is trial and error. That doesn't mean the operator is clueless, it means they have a number of fixes, one or all of which can fix the problem . I notice you've changed your name yet again.

A very nice game. Thank you so much GGAOTD and Realore Studios.

Sorry.. after I posted I did now a right click open new TAB at "Download Treasure of Persia now" and downloaded :)
I hope this works or connection to 'mirror1' might be giving losses.

@Ellen, same here.. I hope this game will to on tomorrow too.
Here as in 4 hours to go.. I would miss it and maybe more people.

Nice variation. Pretty colors. Music ok. Settled on arcade mode to get most levels. Didn't do well on timned modes (2) since hadn't a
big grasp yet of game play. The statcking, hollow blocks, bombs, all
make for cool extra dimension to match 3 concept.
Instlled fine w/ a shortcut even. Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. No installing
of garbage or loading a site page at exit. Uninstall option.
Thanks guys.

I downloaded, unzipped, and am trying to run the setup. It says it cannot connect to Giveaway of the Day. Have tried 10 times now. Any ideas?

Ellen - I wonder if your problem might be due to an over-restrictive firewall or anti-virus. Sometimes the firewall or anti-virus think that a download is a bad thing because it is erroneously matched one of their blocking rules. Unfortunately often these types of "errors" are only recorded in a log somewhere and you aren't told about it thus leaving you to keep trying different things. Try turning them off to see if that makes a difference. Don't forget to turn them back on when you're done.

downloaded and played up to level 17 already on windows xp with no problems at all! great game, each level adds a new element which gives the game a bit of challenge without being too stressful! thanks game giveaway and realore.

Hi WTH_Girl
Ok I finally got around to installing the game and after closing down most of the running prorams it game me the same error as you got. But I noticed I still had the Anvir Task Manager running. Shutting that down and running setup again fixed it.
The game looks good. Thanks

Hi WTH_Girl
The way I understand it is that you need to close down all unneccessary programs before installing.
The "process was already in use" might be a dll being used by one off those programs .
I suggest rebooting your computer, closing unneccessary programs and then run install again.
I hope this helps and you see it in time.

I will get this because it looks pretty but I was really hoping for a Halloween type blood and guts shooter since I like to frag, not defrag ;p
(And I wish GOTD had a Halloween screensaver instead of another reg cleaner. Oh well.) Thanks WR!

Thanks Bill, your explanations were appreciated. The Manual sounds interesting. I'll have a copy of that, lol. :) joking aside. I used to subscribe to a monthly news letter that sent out a build your own encyclopedia of useful knowledge, know how, help, tips and links to free tools. It was called windows advisor. I actually liked the format and found each monthly newsletter with it's accompanying tips etc useful and interesting, but stopped subscribing after my accident due to the high cost (each monthly news letter, software and sheets to add to the main binder cost around $25. I hop the manual is successful

W.R.

As usual, the comments are more fascinating than the game itself. I will enjoy it as I like match 3s. WR keep reviewing. Keith :)

Runs like a champ on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, either full-screen or in a window. I love Realore games - thanks for another great giveaway.

The first program I downloaded from giveawayoftheday.com in quite a while. I am really liking this game.

WTH_Girl #47 Teaching always sounds condescending !!!!

Goodwill and benevolence are very important aspects, that Mr Whiterabbit was conveying to you, in his explanation, that he wrote so other less technical people, could understand it, as he has to consider their needs as well.

It is extremely difficult advising people, without a large number of specifics. I found his defrag explanation well written, and have included it in the manual I am compiling. Whiterabbit does a brilliant job, so give him lots of support ------ in case we loose him !.

RE "degfrags during all idle time". I expect your using IOBit Smart Defrag's Auto Defrag, whilst the theory behind this is sound, I have found it does not work and causes problems in practice, on many computers, for a variety of reasons. I suggest you disable it, and defrag occasionally, with Smart Defrag which is an excellent program..

Whiterabbit —– Many Thanks -- Reposted for above relevance

Firefox V3.5 To clear cache > Tools > Clear Recent History > Select items to clear > Clear Now > Your done. A lot easier than before. I suddenly remembered, I have never needed to do this, because it is done automatically in CCleaner.

GMMan, Moderator & Whiterabbit — Servicing XP makes it smooth, fast and efficient, and avoids the necessity of formatting, and a clean install.

CCleaner, IOBit Advanced System Care, IOBit Smart Defrag, Revo Uninstaller & Eraser, will provide the tools to keep XP well serviced ( clear out all the rubbish from the folders and registry ), and running nicely.

Best Regards Bill3

Downloaded with ease on XP SP3. Fun little game.

I give this game two thumbs down. Have been instructed to do so by the Emperor Nero.

Nice game, attractive graphics. Definitely worth the download!

Installed and runs just fine.. I have never tried Cubis (Lol!!) but this looks fun! Thanks for another great game!

This game seems to be very much like a free game I downloaded years ago, called Xmas Blocks, and enjoyed very much. I still play it from time to time, it is a pleasant way to spend some downtime.
Hope this one is just as good! Thanks GGOTD!

Hi WTH_Girl, There was no disrespect meant. I'm trying to juggle moderating this comments sectiion, finish off the game posts I made yesterday for the free games project, search for some decent games for tomorrows post, get my children ready for the Trick or Treat , as well as several other things at the same time. On top of that I want to play some of my games. I've been sitting at my desk virtually all day, initially writing a review for this game, then trying to answer queries and finish off other things that i'm trying to do for the free games project.

I was only trying to answer your query i.e. "and I have no idea how that would affect ‘process already in use" that you mentioned in your last post.

I thought a bundled offer was one where you got two or more programs for the price of one. The software informer is an optional extra that once you've said yay or nay to will not try to install again. Also if it was a bundled offer it would say so in the introduction to the game. For most community members the only thing that's downloaded is the game, nothing else.

Again if i sound condascending, I don't mean to. I'm just trying to do several things at the same time so was choosing my words with little tough behind them.

As for you being a girl, I'm not from the dark ages where men used to expect a meal on the table and treated their wifes as virtual slaves. In our houshold everything is equal. I've 'never' treated a girl or a woman with disrespect and balk at the very though of having talked down to you just because you're a girl. I'm just a volunteer trying to help.

Hi Ellen,

Try turning off your modem (and router if you have one), leave it (or them) off for a minute then reconnect. Also clear out your internet cache just in case there's a corrupted page (cookie associated with the giveaway page you're trying to log onto). I've mentioned clearing out your internet cache in a previous post.

Nice Game for about 5 minutes, then its getting rather boring, fine as Freeware, but not for money! If you really like good type of 3-Stones Games then try Bejeweled 2!

My system has a program that degfrags during all idle time. And I check things out; registry cleaners, whole system health, etc once a month. My system does not need to be defragmented.

Also, how is an option to install another piece of software (one you do not want) with the software you do want, NOT a bundle offer akin to a toolbar with a game etc...

I feel a little talked down to now because there's a Grl in my name.

I have been trying for four hours to get this to install. It keeps coming up with the message failed to connect. I am connect to the internet so what am I doing wrong. Thanks

WTH_Grl, the game doesn't come bundled with any software, though there is an option to install software informer when you first download a giveaway. This can be stopped by un-checking the appropriate box.

As for defragging your drive. As the hard drive becomes more and more fragmented, programs you install on the hard drive become fragmented. This slows down the read write process. The more fragmented your files the longer it takes to read the files and run programs. Badly fragmented drives can cause software to stop working temporarily, or just close due to an error in reading because of the sensor jumping all over the HDD trying to read the program. Defragmenting your HDD brings all the files for each program together so no read errors should occur.

The problem is a slow process that occurs insidiously, usually due to neglect on the part of the user. All that's needed to stop these ‘intermittent' faults and increase the efficiency of your computer is simple defrag of the drive.

Hi Bear; Grindal did reply, but it wasn't suitable for posting here. Sad to say he just stepped up the abuse rather than accepted the freindly help as it was meant to be.

Installed and plays fine on my XP sp3 system. I am at level 15 (puzzle mode) but wanted to stop to post a comment so, no problems yet. :)

It is a neat little game with some challenge to it. You match colored cubes similar to a match 3 but the cubes stack on top of each other so you have to think vertically as well, kind of like a 3D match 3. :lol:

It sure is nice to see Realore come out to play, I missed them!

c[_]

Thanks GGOTD and Realore!

PS. To grindal, the guy was trying to help you. don't be so ungrateful! In the future, when someone takes the time to try to help you in life, whether you may agree or not, say thank you!

very nice game reached level 14, so no problems there (xp pro 32b)
(indeed very similar to cubis)

when game starts (full screen) it does rearange windows on my second monitor in a weird way everything is restored okay when you quit the game.

I finally got to install the game on my desktop by Disabling my firewall Temporarily. After I got the game installed I r enabled my firewall.

Installed and ran fine in Vista 64.

Enjoyable and attractive puzzle game. The puzzles keep the variety flowing with constant additions of new, interesting pieces.

2 Thumbs up!

Discovered that the reason the files wouldn't delete is because it'd activated a pop_under (and way off my screen) installation process of something called Software Reviewer. Once I closed that process, it deleted fine.

My harddrive doesn't need defragmenting, and I have no idea how that would affect 'process already in use'. I sigh a lot because I'd love the chance to get this game on my computer - but not enough to accept bundled software I don't want or need.
