There was TWO bonus chapter???? LOL I didn't realise!!! No wonder I thought it was short!!! Where was the second bunus chapter?
Darn it, uninstalled it and deleted the save files. I'll have to play it all again!!!! I don't mind, I liked it! I'm so stupid!

Yes, Fudge, there were 2!  

However, the second one just followed on from the first.  In the first one with the forest spirits, you got the dragon to leave.  Well, at the end of the first bonus chapter someone says that now it's up to the humans to help, or something like that, then I just continued straight on as a human.  I didn't have to choose to play the second bonus chapter.

At the end of the first bonus chapter, the dragon left but you find out that it just moved to the forest spirits' village (the same as in the main game) and you have to do something about the dragon and save the village for the forest spirits.  However, this time you're a human and you just have a forest spirit as a helper, just like in the first game.  It's totally different to the first bonus game!  Not as cute but I still had some LOL moments.

But do you think it was a sequel or prequel?  

And are you going to play the third game in the series next?  I'm planning on playing it tomorrow!

I'm confused, stusue! Doesn't take much!

Yes, I had the funny fairy help and I shrunk the dragon at the end and it was the best birthday present ever. Have I done both then? I did smile at the tiny dragon. I have NO idea if it was a sequel or a prequel but I thought of it more as a prequel. So do you think I have finished it after all?!!!!!

I only play on GH now so will have to wait patiently and hope they get the third game.

Yes, you have played both.  Now I feel really stupid!  

You thought it was really short and I thought it was long at 1.5 hours, especially as I'd skipped the last 2 MGs (after going around and around in circles for a while) and used the hint a lot when I was stumped.



Did you like the fake sheep we made to fool the dragon?



I'm sure GH will get the 3rd in the series.  It's only a question of how long you'll have to wait.  I got it on sale from the Windows Store.

Have you played the first one?  That one is far, far superior and is in my top 3 fav games ever, if not my fav.  I think the first was developed by Artifex Mundi itself, whereas the second was developed by Grey Wizard Innovations and only produced by Artifex Mundi, hence explaining the drop in quality.  I liked it but it's not one of my favs.  The graphics weren't nearly as good - I found the flowers were beautiful but all the people were ugly.  I'm not sure about the third one but it's also not up to the same standard as the first one.

I demoed the newest Gizmos game  -  Gizmos - Interstellar Voyage.  

OMG, I absolutely hated it!  

I tried to finish the first level but could only manage up to 1.13 before I just couldn't take any more.   The graphics are blinding!  You have a cartoon background then the grid is down in the bottom right of the screen.  It's see-through white, like fog.  And the + you get in the column and row of wherever your cursor is is like headlights through fog.  I simply couldn't take it anymore as I was getting a headache and was playing it while I was squinting.

I've loved all the earlier games and can't remember ever having had this problem before.

I hope all you Gizmos lovers don't have the same blinding problem as I had and love it as much as all the others!

Obviously, it's a game I'll neither be buying nor playing.


 

Thanks, stusue. I've just dropped them an email.

I was lucky with that flower one I think. I managed to get to the end of a twig with just 2 open so could click the last. Something like that. Sheer luck I think though!

I liked that puzzle with the paths where you could press the button to make the path change and then back again. I was a while on that one.

And I don't think you're stupid at all

OH NO! I downloaded the Gizmos one but haven't tried it at all. It sounds to me a bit like one of the colours of the numbers in Fantasy Mosaics...killed my eyes and I was squinting when that colour came up. Thankfully, it wasn't too often. I'll try Gizmos though and if it's the same I won't be able to manage it either.

It wasn't the colours of the squares but rather the bright fog-like white of the grid and the blinding white cross in the row and column that the cursor's in.  I simply found the grid super difficult to look at.  I tried it first this morning in the sunlight so tried it again this evening, when it was dark, but it was just as blindingly white.  But I also can't use touch so that was a bit of a bummer as well.
