I downloaded this and played for hours, but still can't get past level 11... What I want to know is, where can one go to find tricks or hints? I really am enjoying the game so far, but frustration tends to make me avoid another re-attempt when I can't figure out a solution!

Post your problem in the forums and hopefully you'll get some help from the gaming side of this community. :) You will need to be a registered member to post in the forums. It costs nothing but a few moments of your time. :)

I liked this game. It installed cleanly. The only problem was I played all the levels in one afternoon. Some in just a few seconds...
Would be great to have some new levels to download.

Enjoying the game as a nice little timewaster - does get more difficult as it goes on. Does anyone know how to defeat level 16? Can't seem to find a way of lining myself up for the exit. Failing that, is there a walkthrough for any levels?

game is not very challenging was done in less than 1 hour.if i had to pay for that i would be very dissapointed

Does anyone know where the scores are located? I'd like to transfer the game to my laptop without losing my place.

I had intended to get back here earlier, but got busy playing this off and on all day. Yes, it is quite addictive. I really like it. Good and challenging for me. Got aced alot also. LOL. Easily installed and no problems. Win XP SP3 32bit quad core. This is a keeper for me. Appreciated the info re the EULA as I never paid much time to really get in depth with it, usually a quick read. Thank you Game GAOTD and Wheemploy Ltd for this offering. Hope to see more offerings. Have a nice evening all.

Thank you for your response, will look forwards more feedback in weeks to come. :lol:

Very nice little game, thanks!

It does take some thought to figure out the puzzles. I like that it's appropriate for all age levels. Can't wait to see how my 5-year-old does with this - it looks simple enough for her to figure out yet fun enough to keep her playing. Just the same, it's a fun diversion for Daddy, too.

Some small suggestions: I believe more care could be taken with the introduction/instructions section. One small nitpick is that, although English may not be the main language of the designers, spelling and grammar errors make the introduction seem amateurish. Also, some concepts like black holes could be better described - is the pictured a black hole, or the level target hole? Other graphic descriptions seems appropriate. Calling the main ball "the Hero" and the red balls the "enemies" seems a bit weird when they obviously looks like toy balls, not a sword-slinging hero or blaster-wielding enemy. Younger users will likely be confused by the reference to WSAD - maybe be a little more specific in describing the W, S, A, & D keys on the keyboard.

Thanks for a fun game - hope to see more offerings! Good luck with future development!

Thank you for your response, will look forwards to more feedback in the future.

I have been on your site daily since i found it some months ago. I did not realize comments had to be made in order to encourage more developers to offer their games. Since I know this now I will at least try to say something daily. I truly appreciate all the hard work of everyone involved with this site and the games. I think your idea of leaving a comment before you download your game is an excellent idea. If there are over 3000 people downloading the games make them work a little for it. A sentence or two never killed anybody when it came to getting a quality product. I wish you all the best and continued success.

Nice game. Runs smoothly on my XP. I like games like this much more than "fantasy" games or violent games. Good puzzle-solving. Thanks

Another fun game...job well done.
It's fun because it makes you think and plan.

The game installed fine and started and played well for a while. The screen size was changed and my screen had a lot of flickering. When I exited the game my desktop was so large I could only reboot the computer. I waited for a few minutes to see if first it would go back to the original settings, but it did not. Has anyone had an issue with this?
Other than this, I found the game very entertaining.


........................Moderator Comment............................


Sorry for the delay in replying. Ni, I didn't have this problem. Could be the way you have your computer set up perhaps. There are free applications that can remember you desk top in such situations. Ask aboit it in the forums as I can't remember the name of any. :)

My daughter saw me "testing" the new game install and wanted to play...
Now I have a problem getting to finish "testing"!
My daughter won't give up the computer... er, game!!!
Thanks Developers and GGOTD!

There is no twitter link for me to tweet this.

If you like puzzle games, then this is for you. Starts out easy getting progressively harder. I have to say that it is very addicting. Game play and music is relaxing. I would recommend this game.

Moderator - Last comment absent more "help"==but I could not find the "Square" plug-in for 64 bit systems on the Adobe Website but I did find it via a fresh google search here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html But it did not work for me even after two installs and a reboot. I did read some notes about having to install Net 2 and using a 32 bit browser. Well, I'll probably give up about now as its not an "easy" fix. In my experience, this means its too easy to foul up the computer that is working just fine otherwise right now. Why tempt the gods? Thanks for your advice.


...................................Moderator Comment...............................

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :(

My question wasn't whether it was necessary to collect al stars (I already experienced that it isn't) but whether it is always(!!!) possible to collect them all. If I KNOW it should always be possible I'll search for the solution but only then. Otherwise, as I said, I'd only be wasting time looking for a solution that doesn't exist. Since I don't want that I need(!) to know whether it should always be possible to collect all stars or not.


..................................Moderator comment...................................

sorry, I'm rather distracted at the moment so probably didn't read your comment properly. :)

cute game thank you .. no problem loading at all

nice relaxing puzzle game

I really like this game. It requires you to keep in mind the movements of the "enemies" as you plan your way through the maze. Timing is critical in most of the levels, but it seems to me that there is always time to make your moves if you plan ahead and memorize the enemy movements. It's sort of like a prison break where the guards move in regular repeatable patterns. I found that when I failed I wanted to try it again, immediately. I do like how a failure doesn't set you back too much. Blow it and it's not hard to get right back into the game (really, no effort at all as it just sets you back at the beginning of the level immediately).



.............................Moderator Comment...............................

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated

Moderator--I went back to the Adobe website and under "Trouble Shooting" did find a discussion about 64 bit systems using 64 bit browsers and that is my situation. Trying to find "Square" or a 32 Bit Browser to get this all to work. We are on track to playing games again--thanks.

.............................Moderator Comment...............................

Thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated.

Thanks Moderator

I do get the "Wheemplay" first screen, then the blue cloudy background. I play "other" flash games and videos but that is a good suggestion on your part. I downloaded and installed the linked Adobe Flash Player 10.2xxxx with no joy. I searched the website for 64bit versions but did not find anything except for Win 7. There have been some other Flash based programs that don't work on my system though. Since this is the type of game I like, think I'll spend some more time trying to troubleshoot it. Thanks. ((I note the FireFox Extension Manager openned up after intalling the Player. Could be a setting in there somewhere?)) Thanks again.


........................Moderator comment.............

Check bobbos comment below for a link to a 64 bit version of the flash player. hopefully that will solve your problem. I think it's worth the effort. :)

Love brain teasers. I am not good with keyboard because of the arthritis. But for a little bit I can exercise both my brain and fingers at the same time. Thumbs up that I can disable the music if I want.

I like flash games. Just our ISP has us on a bandwidth cap which bites. So I download the flash games and use a program to use them as regular games.

@Tom Wild Re: The Racing games.... Would be nice to know if you could use a game pad/steering wheel etc.

I will try to comment when I have the time. Sorry, Wrascally Wabbit. I have been remiss in the forum also. Just haven't had the time. That Wrascally Wabbit, chazzo125 and a few others have been posting some great free games. Lots of puzzles, etc.



.............................Moderator comment...........................


Thanks Delenn, always appreciate your comments in the forums. :)

I'm not one for action games but prefer the more easy going ones that require some thought to get through them. Have bought and enjoyed the 4 Broken Sword games for instance. Nothing as fancy as that today of course but nice enough.

It would have been nice to know whether it should be possible to collect all stars on every level before exiting because on level 11 it seemed not really possible to collect 2 stars so I simply tried to leave without them which worked so at least it's not required to collect them all. I also left one behind in level 12 which is to where I've gotten when writing this.

Could this question be cleared up? If I KNOW it should be possible to collect all stars I'll put some extra effort in but since I don't know I don't want to risk wasting time trying to find a solution that doesn't exist.

Although I quite like the gentle piano music with the game it needs to be set at a much lower level. Since there doesn't seem to be a volume slider or setting in the game you have to change the overall Windows volume which is the less preferred way in my opinion. The developers should add volume settings for both music and sound effects.

Although I didn't monitor the game's activity too strictly I can think of one reason for writing to the registry. At first start-up you get a short explanation of the game that is absent at later start-ups. Frankly I'd prefer this to be written to some .ini file in the game's own directory where things like volumes could also be stored but I assume this is what is written to the registry. Just a key which tells the game it's not the first time the game is started.

......................................Moderator comment.......................................

I think I mentioned that the aim was to collect all the stars, but it wasn't necessary. The more stars you collect, the better your score. So no you don't have to collect them all. It should give the game more replayability being able to leave stars uncollected. :)

Hi
I've been lurking here for years. Always enjoy the newly listed games and try most of them.
I didnt realise the point of making a comment about the game, i'll try to do so in future.


...............................Moderator comment..................................

Thank you Crystal, I look forwards to your comments in future. :)

Fun brain game. Works fine on my Windows XP OS.

I generally love the games here whenever one is posted,but I'm going to pass on this one,as the negatives outweigh the fun.I don't like any game that will try to hijack your registry,or is an illegal cracked version. I am losing my sight in my left eye,so games that you have to use the keyboard or direction arrows to play it don't interest me,no matter what company has posted them. Game designers need to take this into consideration when they design these games.


……………………Moderator comment………………………..

Hi Don Rehrer, this isn't a cracked version of the game; it's an official version given away via the developer. You may have misconstrued the point above where it was mentioned that someone had posted a link that led to a site that was giving away cracked software (A warez site). almost any software installed to a computer will add something to the registry. No one has reported problems running their computers after installing this game. The giveaway owners rigorously test all software given away here so you can rest assured that it is safe to install. Just over 6500 community members have so far downloaded this game which is a good indication that it's okay.

Your welcome whiterabbit. I don't want what I said to come across as if I don't appreciate the offers here.

I guess what I am saying is that each of us has to be responsible for what we download on our computers. Which I did.

I just wonder if this happened to anyone else. If so does anyone know what the registry writes would be trying to do since this is a standalone program.

Thank you whiterabbit for your excellent reviews.

Posting as much as we can about each piece of software offered is really the best thing to do. As was said many times earlier.If the companies that give it to us don't get feed back then why the heck should they bother. I have seen many offerings get less than 10 responses. That can't be of much help.

Anyway, my 2 cents. Thank you


……………………Moderator comment………………………..

Hi again Joe, no it didn't. Your point was a valid one and would be a useful piece of info for developers. Thank you again.

Thanks for today's game. I like logical games, keeps your mind strong.
Although I do like mindless games as well. Appreciate them all.

I apologize for not commenting on the games you provide. I always enjoy reading the comments and usually decide from the comments whether or not to download a game. Had I known thatit was important for the acquiring of games to leave feedback I certainly would've. So, now I will be leaving feedback whether or not I download--if I don't download I will be commenting on my reasons for not doing so. But as others have said, sometimes I don't get to the site until late in the day and by the time I read the comments and download a game I may not have time to play that game that same day. So, leaving a comment on a later day should be an option and beneficial to the gaming community. I will do my part in that respect
Thank you for making these games possible and giving us insight into the games provided here.


.............................Moderator comment..............................................

Thank you Sam, though it will not necessarily lead to more games unless we get a decent responce on a regular basis from a good number of community members. Once developers realize that this is a site where thy can get very useful feed back it could become a very popular place for developers to 'test' there wares. (I hope). :)

Installed and registered on win7/64 bit dual monitor==but on launch all I get is a blue screen--looks like clouds. I've tried to bring up a menu to start the game but nothing happens. Did get the prompt screen after install asking me if the program installed correctly or not (before you can ever tell). Installed again with no difference.

Anyone else run into this?/solutions?

Thanks.


........................Moderator comment.............................



Hi Bobbo, do you have a flash player installed? This is a flash game and requires one.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Theres a link for 64 bit systems.

thank you so much for this. It looks like a fun time and a nice "quick game fix" Mind you, I believe I will spend enough time playing it will become a less a "quick game" and more an addiction! Thank you!

Thumbs up. Two days of nice gaming. Thanks also to Whiterabbit-UK for the great reviews this weekend, and constructive comments from GOTD users. Cheers. Mr. Snoozles - super cat goes nutso (still playing that Snoozles as well) nite all

Just tried two levels so I could give feedback before I go on to non-computer activities. I think this will be a nice addition to the games I play to keep my mind sharp. Looks like it will be a challenge but something I can just devote a small amount of time to playing when I'm busy or more time when I want an escape. The graphics are cheerful but not distracting and the way to play is easy to understand. Thanks for giving me the chance to play.

........................Moderator comment.............................

Thanks you for the info, it's always appreciated when a community member gives feedback. :lol:

Follow up: Every time I launch the game this comes up. Couldn't print the screenshot so I typed out the message.

Security Considerations:
Winterbaal.exe could not be recognized and it is about to modify
The protected registry key
HKUS….etc.
Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\shell folders\startup.


Not sure what that is. I block it and the game opens anyway so I guess it isn't a required thing so why is it there. Thank you.


………………………Moderator Comment………………

Thanks for the info, always appreciated when someone gives feedback

I take exception to the statement made that it doesn't write to the registry. I had to block 3 intrusions from this install. Two that wanted to modify protected registry files and one that wanted to write to the registry.
I know it is a standalone game , and I have installed them before. However, Please don't make statements that are misleading or down right not true. I am not saying that what was said was for malicious reasons but I try to believe what people say. Sometimes , I take what is said here as fact. I need to remember that I have to rely on what I find.

More mad at myself for believing things. Anyway, I do have the game now so I am going to play it. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, always appreciated when someone gives feedback

Hi guys. I will be downloading the game soon. Thank you for this. Cheers!

Personal preference, I didn't like this particular game much, but I truly love any game developer that defaults to windowed mode on initial launch! Game: 3 out of 5. Developer: 5 out of 5!

Thanks for the game today, I like it much better than yesterday's game. This will keep me busy for awhile. Thanks for all the games and work that you do :)

WhiteRabbit, would it be possible to add a "send comment on " icon to the desktop, maybe have a small app that allows ratings on playability, appearance, etc.? It's very difficult to provide meaningful comments until AFTER downloading and really playing a game, and for me that may be days after the giveaway ends. I doubt that developers would check back for comments that late. Also, it seems about 90-100% of comments happen in the first few hours of a giveaway, so what can I hope to add when I normally don't get to see a giveaway page until evening? Again, a simple "comment" icon would be great. Maybe all your need to do is encourage people to comment within the first WEEK instead of first hours, and tell developers to check back for that period. I like the idea of requiring comments to be able to download the next giveaway, but I skip most giveaways (is it helpful to send a "not interested" comment?) and how would people ever get started on their first download?


..............................Moderator Comment.......................

Hi Mr Dave, I still think it's worth you leaving comments even days after the game has been given away. I don't tend to check the comments section until the following weekend, but if I knew that someone was going to post meaningful comments i'd make the effort to check back during the week at least once a day so as to ensure the comments can be seen. You could say why you aren't interested. :)

Nice game today btw :) , starts off looking deceptively simple and easy and gets difficult and mind-bending within just a few levels!

Another flash game, ooooh

I want to suggest new free game for the weekend from http://www.gamehitzone.com

Star Battle
http://www.gamehitzone.com/download-free-games/star-battle/

Ich mag Spiele nicht die nicht speichern können``^^

Thanks gotd. Tried a couple of levels and am hooked. Thanks for all the games you give us. I am one of those people who don't say thank you enough. I will faithfully do so from now on, everytime I download a game. Keep up the good work.

I thought the game (as well as the music) is boring. Very slow moving, unable to move until you wait and wait for it to hit the wall.
Deleted it after 10 minutes of play. Almost fell asleep after 8 minutes.
Don't get me worng, I do appreciate the games you give away. Just not this one.

And after reading your reply about leaving comments I will leave one on each and every download from now on.

Thanks Game Giveaway!!!


............................Moderator Comment......................

Thanks, much appreciated. I really do think more developers would be interested if we got enough constructive comments each time there was a game, whether they be negative or positive. :)

This game reminds a little of Funnyball which is also very addictive. I do appreciate the opportunity to download games and try them out first. I agree with the other comments that more games should be made available to the public especially on sites that are adware/malware/virus free!
Thank you for this...

This is similar to Super Slyder (except for the timing issues) that was given away from Sandlot games. It's cute! I'm stuck on a level where I can get out but I can't figure out how to get the last star and THEN get out!

I placed it in a folder with my other Wheemplay game (from here) that doesn't have sub-folders. It works fine on my Vista32 Ultimate SP2 machine.

I do like that you can turn off the music but leave the sound effects. I also like having the windowed mode - I prefer windowed mode for games (if possible or reasonable).

Thanks, much appreciated.

I am so sorry I didn't know the above information and I don't leave comments, I do read them for glitches to know how to fix but after the first times reading (when I first started with GGOTD I got so tired of the bashing I stopped reading.) I never saw where it was important to leave feedback to help get more games sorry :( .

I love many of the games you give us, I try some I don't really like and keep them or delete. I appreciate your work in getting us free games and all the very important information you give us about them. I have been here for years now and have been super happy.

Thank you for this weekends games and for all the wonderful games I have downloaded over the years. I will make sure and comment all the time now. Have a great day!

Thanks, much appreciated.

Hi. I have multiple sclerosis, so arrow-type games are hard for me. Thanks for offering, but I'll try it.

Cute game, much like BlocksMania+ for the iPhone. Pleasant distraction with the ability to pick up where you left off. I'm going to be interested in the level editor. That could be a lot of fun!

Took a bit but I beat level 12,
oh yeah, thanks for the game
