Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I decided to get Riddles of The Mask with my pcc. It's by the same developer, but seems more polished than Fill and Cross Pirate Riddles.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
For anyone who lost punches last Monday, they're still trying to give us those missing punches, even though it's a new month. This is the response I got from CS last night after I'd asked if that were the case:

Yes, the most recent information I have is that we are actively crediting customers for the missed punches. Hopefully, there isn't further delay.

That'll be a big help to me as I've only got one expiring PCC this month.

I have Riddles of the Mask on my IPad and I unfortunately encountered a glitch in the second room on one of the puzzles. Fortunately it was far enough along that the next room was open. What it was, was the graph was not lining up with the numbers, it was just that much off that you could not fill in the squared properly. ie the line was right thru the centre of a square. Personally I prefer World Contest and the other one over these. I don't like that you have so many errors that can be made as I want 3 stars all the time. I also find the pale muted colours of the fill ins meh, I guess I just don't like the swords or the scrolling thing. Just make it an x. jmo. Doesn't mean I won't play. But I didn't get the pirate one.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I picked up Royal Envoy 3 during the Playrix sale. I dl, installed and have played the first island. ( I am finding it hard to get the three stars in some rounds, maybe after I get used to the game play) Then I received an email from Playrix regarding a registreration code. For those that got it did you have to do anything with this? I can't find the screen they are talking about in the instructions in the email.

Oscar, once you download Royal Envoy 3 you have to click on something in the opening box in order to put in the registration code and then the full game opens. It says all that in the email or something. I think I read it when I downloaded it, before I even looked at the email, and then just put in both the name you're given and the registration code. Are you just playing the free demo without having downloaded the full game?
Have you played Olympus Griddlers , Magic Griddlers or Fantasy Mosaics? I'm still looking at games to get at GH for $1.49 and have been looking at these 3.

Yikes! Thanks for reminding me that it's BPMonday! I may have to pass since I'm running around with end of semester recitals. Of course BFG's midnight is 3 hours later than mine, so maybe.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I guess I will just keep playing it. I dl it as normal and nothing has said anything about it being the trial. Oh well I'll just file the key and see if it pops up.
Yes I have played Magic Griddlers on my IPad, I like it. Olympus on PC and Fantasy Mosaics was the one I had issues with on the IPad with no option to "x" out squares I wasn't using. I should check and see if this has changed.
I finished up Fear for Sale Phantom Tide, bonus and all and I have to say it was a chore! So many HO scenes with nothing innovative or challenging about them. Just a list and one or two that needed an extra action. And the jigsaws got boring after awhile, the picture was right there along with outlines for the shapes. I really didn't understand the point of all the collections. Maybe the shells and the town had a corelation but the rest *shrug* no purpose. The morphs were pretty obvious, although I did miss one. More than likely I just wasn't looking. There would just be an object that had no relation to anything lying there. I'd give it a 2 on a 1-5 scale.
I was so impressed with Cadenza that I tried to email Mad Head just to say, I mean really I would have been happy if I had paid full pop for that game, but there captcha doesn't work. boo.

I was able to finish the first 2 locations. When I make an error, I immediately restart the puzzle. There was only 1 so far that I needed to use hints on. Using hints annoys me, but I couldn't se how you could solve it otherwise without making a mistake But this game gives a trophy for using hints, so I'll use them when needed.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
My problem with the number of errors allowed is pretty minimal. Sometimes I haven't noticed that I made one and when I do I run my finger thru the puzzle to start over. The games that you can have six errors sometime I have to run it threw an additional line! lol not a big deal. I've actually never used a hint in these games but yup when it gets down to those ones where you have two boxes in say two lines and it could go either way it's a bummer when you think okay the pattern makes sense like this, beep no you're wrong no three stars. And you know I can start over and make that same stupid error again! I always thought the hint would effect the stars so I've never used them.
I started Mysterium Lake Bliss this evening which isn't too bad. I quite like the story and the graphics are nice. Puzzles are on the easy side, but it is interesting enought that I will read everything. The map is not that fabulous so you do end up wandering about a bit.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Whoever mentioned Brickshooter-Egypt by Playrix games...THAT is one of the best puzzle games ever! I got it free when I subscribed to playrix's newsletter and then I got it for free on the iphone but it always quits now when I try to open it on there...I swear its because my operating system is sooo outdated. Im waiting for the fiance to come before upgrading or buying a new phone so we can get a family plan. He comes a week from wednesday!! 
Im about to upgrade my operating system on my mac computer as well. A lot of the games coming out are not available for mine anymore. Usually I am up to date with stuff like this but between my phone & computer, I feel like Im in the stone ages
Games...well...lately...I have been playing games on my dad's ipad. Oscar, I can't even log into facebook on my dad's ipad so I am actually going to wait until my fiance brings me the extra PC laptop and try to switch my game onto there. Supposedly its doable...we'll see and once I do that, I will surely add people! I have no problem doing that. In fact thats how I met my fiance to begin with...social games.
Anyways, I have been playing township, Found and well as a special offer was Hotel Dash Suites by playfirst for FREE a couple weeks ago. Usually I just suck at these types of games but being able to touch the screen is easier than dragging with the mouse I've found so I have been playing that game wayyyy more than anything else and determined to get gold stars on everything which is getting harder and harder.
I finished Avenue Flo-Special Delivery and when I was leaving a review, it looked like it got pulled because there were no try or buy buttons. Now Im playing the original Avenue Flo which I started way back when on my mom's laptop but it got messed up so I realized Im better off doing it again since its been so long anyways. Im also playing Spa Mania, Heroes Of Hellas 3, Mystery PI San Francisco & Theatre of Shadows-as you wish. Oh & Viking Brothers. All of these are very mediocre and thats good because I am trying to catch up on tv shows as well. They all end soon and Im SOOO behind!
Glad to see that your pets are ok, life is good for most and business is good 
Cadenza is one of the best games I have ever played so enjoy! I also have a miserable play list for this month. I played 4 and each one took me forever except Cadenza which took me 2 days. And none of them were even long games that should take me forever lol but I resisted the sale this weekend YAY and I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
