Emsisoft identified this program as a trogan. I uploaded it to VirusTotal and it came back 7 hits out of 43 as malware.

First time I had this happen from a game download from this site.

Awem Studio or a mod care to comment?


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

If all five of those security packages had reported the same trojan I'd be more inclined to believe them. Though ultimately you would need to contact the developers for answers as I can't. The giveaway team do test all games throughly and have never, to my knowledge uploaded a bad game (w.r.t. malware), I would strongly suspect that those results are spurious.

Just finished the game today.
Verdict: cool game, though it get's very repetitive at an early stage.
Doesn't get much more difficult towards the last level 100.
I kept playing to collect the monuments ;)

My score: 7 out of 10.

Decent match game, no probs with the install or reg on Win 7 64 bit.
But, as noted in many other comment, the timer needs an option to turn it off,or give slow etc. The short playing time/quick countdown really does ruin what could be alot fun. Yes you can earn some more time, but when you do, the increase is insignificant,

Downloaded and registered on Win 7 pro machine yesterday with no problems, and was playing until the early hours of this morning. (Up to about level 18-20). Love the game.

However, 15 hours later, I've just gone to try and open it to play again, and it will not open! Screen just flashes up and then goes back to desktop.

Nothing on the machine has been changed in the interim.

Nevertheless, have also tried compatibility mode... but still same thing happens

Try downloading the demo from the developer’s site. You should still have the reg code, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Downloaded to my Win 7 64 bit and had no problems at all. Haven't had a chance to play yet to give comments, but it looks like fun.

I downloaded in the morning and played the trial because I couldn't register. (I've never had this problem before) So I waited for a possible fix. Now I've tried downloading from the game site and still that button wouldn't work. However the change to resolution (I halved the resolution setting) made the green button work. I have Vista. Lovely game and challenging. Thank you.

Yet another match three game with a twist. I really love the variety. Downloaded and installed without problems on my Win7/64 Home.
Only Played a few levels but it looks to be a keeper for me.
Thanks Awen and GOTD.

Downloaded, installed & registered just fine on winXP, SP2 with IE browser. I do like match 3 games, and this is a good one (through a couple of rounds only, so far). My only criticism is that the play could be a bit snappier (quicker response), but that's minor. I will be keeping this!

Thank you, Awem, GGOTD; and Whiterabbit for your reviews and assistance.

Tried to down load it onto two different computers... Both said the zipped folder was corrupted. Was really hoping to get this on their computers so they can play games off line.. Gets boring with no net..

I tried a number of times to download today's game, but I keep getting the message that the compressed file is corrupt? I also tried the mirror link with the same result. After reading a number of the comments, I downloaded the game from the publisher's site, but because I couldn't get the download, I don't have the readme and therefore the registration code. Is there a way for me to get it?

worked on the desktop as well.
Thank you for the great match 3 games.

Very simple, but very nice game!
It brings some old-school nice games, while using well resources of modern computers!

Thank You GGOTD!

I tried this game before, and had the same problem others have mentioned with the diagonal playing area: I kept tilting my head sideways, and wound up with a headache. Also, the "Relaxed" mode wasn't very relaxed, not enough for me, anyway.

I am happy to see a game from Awem, tho. I love Cradle of Rome and Cradle of Persia, and some of their others look interesting, too.

Thanks, all.

Check out MyPlayCity's stock. There's nearly 50. :)

Works great on my XP pro laptop. Trying it on my older XP home desktop, just waiting for it to finish downloading.

Thanks GOTD and AWEM for a nice match3 game.
All the bonuses and mini-games distinguish World Voyage from the majority of m3 games. However - the diagonal lay-out makes me dizzy - LOL

To all the users, who have a problem with the installation/activation:
1. Always unpack the GGOTD zip-files to your desktop or a folder of your choice! Never just run the setup.exe with the explorer.
2. Before you re-download and re-install, always clear the download-cache and even the internet cache.
I hope that helps.

Ok, thanks anyways. Must be my machine. :(

I got some viruses when I started to download the giveaway. I decided not to download it after that.


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

The game giveaways are totally clean of any viri. either your AV program is picking up false positives or your machine is already infected. The giveaway team throughly check any software being given away to ensure it i clean. if they were to give away software that was infected they would soon get a bad name for themselves. as it is, they have a very good standing with the major search engines.

This is a very nice game. I only played a little while but I will enjoy having it. Thank you very much GGAOTD team for all of your efforts and thank you to the publisher, Awem Studio, for the gift. Your games are fun to play but I would make one suggestion to you for your install routine. Please let the users decide if they want short cuts placed on the desk top. I can't speak for everyone but for myself I prefer no extra short cuts. Maybe you could have a box with check marks to indicate if the short cuts will be placed or not. That is my opinion. Either way thank you so much.

A very nice little game! I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit, and it installed quickly without any fuss. I copied the code before clicking the green button, pasted it in - and off we went.

Bright, attractive graphics, pleasant music, gameplay interesting enough to be a keeper, and something I can play during a tea break without having to commit the rest of my life to it.

Yes - I liked it! Thank you very much.

Tried downloading the demo from AWeM's site-- Still could not register. Green button does nothing.

I am also having trouble registering. When I click on the green register button it does nothing. None of the buttons work. I have tried to uninstall and downloading it from your site. Did not work. Change my resilution. Did not work. When I click out of the registering page it opens the game. When I exit the game the registering page opens up and the register button is gone. None of the buttons work all I can do is exit.I am running windows XP.

Try downloading the demo from AWEM's site. The link is just above the download link above.

Forgot to say, installed first time on WinXP with no problems at all.


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

Thanks delenn

Oh my head. What a game. Took all my effort just to get to level 8. Thanks GGOTD. Downloaded fine on Vista Home Edition although I did have a problem with automatic screen resolution, but I do with some games. I just kept on clicking on the game until it loaded fine.

Key code won't work, says it's stored but doesn't accept it.

Got the reg number but it won't take it

I'm still having a problem registering. I've tried all the mentioned fixes, and still can't register. From the looks of all the other posts, it seems like it's an XP issue? Just an observation. If any other XP users got it to register, can you post how you did it? Thank you!


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


I installed, registered and played it on my XP machine with no problems. Works well. :)

Now this one is really cool. Boy, you got to plan what you are doing and have to get used to how the pieces fall. Usually you have to worry about the tiles UNDER the objects. Only played 3 levels so I can't wait to use the bonus's and see how they fit into the game. Looks like the Montezuma Games. It depends on the colours you match as to what bonus is activated.

Thanks Awem studio for a different kind of match 3 fun game.

Now excuse me while I catch up on over 800 RSS feeds..then I got a game to play and do some traveling. :)

I've tried downloading this 4 times on my desktop with XP SP3, sometimes I got "error with download" and if I did by chance make it to the "read me" area, it would not open. I downloaded it and got it registered with no problem on our laptop with Win7. Good game. Match 3 are challenging, just wish I had it on the desktop too. THANX GOTD

Try clearing out your internet cache. That may cure the problem. :)

tried screen res change, uninstall, miror link and from home page. still doesn't have a reg botton showing. screen opens and says trial 20 min left. Too bad. Got though only 2 levels before lost lives, but otherwise lookedd like nice game. Asus Eeee netbook, win 7

Nice game. Wish it would be untimed. Honestly, I'm just getting tired of MATCH 3 games even though this is a bit different. GGOTD is probably spoiling me....it's free and I'm grateful. Just would like something else. How about an adventure game that's not too complicated. Anyway, thanks for the free game. I think it'll be my last Match 3 download though.

Hi the game installed fine on W7 pro.
Liked the background music.
Thanks :-)

I love Awem Studios!! One of my favorite games is called DNA. This one is very hard to find now, I wish I still had it.

World Voyage is a great game, it loaded fine, entered in the registration easy. I liked the colorful intro.

The gameplay is quite fun! The music is not overpowering, I do think the timer is too fast and how to clear some of the puzzles.

I am enjoying this game and I do hope more people comment if they are going to download a free game.

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

Ah yes, DNA was given away a couple of times I think. Good game.

I have tried all day to set this up, but it says that it cannot connect. Anyone have any ideas?

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

Check other comments. i've posted a possible solution. :)

Can any one tell me why I could not enter a name?
The only thinh I could enter was only onw latter and I downloded this game on 4 computers and they all were the same. Only one lwtter!!!!
Thanks.

Installed/registered on Vista Home Prem. 32bit. Unique spin on Match 3 although, I do find the diagonal layout of the playing field a little hard on the eyes as I am used to horizontal/vertical rows on most games. It may just be that I am legally blind, but I find myself wanting to tilt my head to one side or the other to see the rows in a level line. Like some of the other posters, I also found that the instructions went by far too quickly to read. Also the little blurbs about the solved pic puzzles also disapears before you have time to read it. A pause or click to continue feature would be most appreciated. Will keep this game at least for awhile but not sure if I will keep long term. Will depend on frustration level! :-) Thanks GGOTD and Awem studio!

Thanks for the min review.

Sounds great, but the download isn't working. I thought it was my connection that was the problem, but no, every other site I go to works fine. Hope this is fixed soon!


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

Clear out your internet cache. That should clear the problem. The cookie associated with the game giveaway site is probably corrupted.

Wouldn't let me enter key.Uninstalled. Waste of time.

My apologies...I forgot to mention that I tried changing my screen resolution and also uninstalled and reinstalled from their home page. Great game though!

Great game, thank you. Installed with Win 7 with no problem

Hi and thanks very much for this game. Downloaded and installed perfectly as did the registration. [XP3] It sure is a little different to other match 3s and very challenging. I played a number of levels before commenting so as to make a reasonable assessment of the game, though of course these things are subjective and perhaps others wont like it however I love this game! It makes you think and think fast! A big thankyou to Awen and GOTD.

I cannot paste the Lic. Key in the box nor type it in. :( I am on XP Media Edition

totally different three match game. should for sure download..
easy to do and for sure a keeper.. more than many others
thank you so much

Loaded with no problem on W98 Pro SP3. I was rather annoyed that I had no option as to where the file installed. It would be nice if it were free standing but I guess not everyone wants there games to be like that. Still, other games I have that are not free standing still gave me an option as to where to put them.

Registration would not let me do a copy & paste, not good if one has eye problems.

This is a fun offering and I will certainly be keeping it. Like others, I would really like a relaxed mode although so far the timer hasn't been a problem. Just clicking next bypasses the set up options.


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

you can select where to install the game. you have to click on the Change Settings button to the bottom left of the initial set up wizard.

Neglected to thank Avem! My bad, guess I am still buzzed. Reached level 8 before loosing my lifes and I want to play again. Thanks Avem, GOTD and commentators.

Unlike any match game that I have played before and if you do not download, perhaps you will not understand why. I really like the game, one of the commentators mentioned that it does not have a RELAXED mode. The game has many variables, like numbered balls that if you match quickly, there is a bonus. Some of the magic balls will delete tiles from the playing field when you either match or click on them and you can progress a few steps up into the timed game. I am certain that there are features to this game that I have missed due to the time factor. This game is definitely a puzzle and can really peak your interest. In my opinion it is a MUST TRY game.

Download was without problem. The only issue is you have to KEY game twice. The usual Key screen says that you are registered, BUT when the game screen appears it does ask for your KEY again. Thanks GOTD for a great download. Hopefully all of us are feeling a little spoiled and will certainly understand if next weekend we do not find a game offered at this site.

It has now crashed 4 times out of 4 attempts to play. Crashes during game play. I got through level 1 one time, cannot complete more than a few moves in level two. I now also crashes when loading level one. :-(


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

No one else is reporting this problem; there has been 11995 downloads, so it's probably something with your computer. Try updating your graphics drivers. If that doesn't wrk download the demo from AWEM's site and use the reg code you have on that.

Whoa...love this game!!! Thanks So Much!

Thanks for the game, I am downloading.

Thank you GOTD and today's contributor,

For today's game, always welcome match 3 games :)


Plus Thank you Whiterabbit for review .

I get the green registration tab; but it will not open.
