Loving this -- but on level 6, you're supposed to pull items off the pile in the center and match 'em. CAN'T pull anything! If I figure out one further down (by matching the smallest edges to the top item) they disappear as they should.
Can't find any help or support IN the Help Pages.... SO I have to post it here! I really LIKE these games and want to
keep playing!
keep playing!
I recommend this game!

All of these "New Yankee in..." games are brilliant! The action (and programming!) is sharp and crisp. The villains are *almost* frustratingly too fast or strong or whatever, but not so hard you can't figure out what to do -- and when you replay the levels (again and again!), you work out new and better ways to do things. I've probably got well above 100 games from BigFish -- these New Yankee ones I am playing and playing... When I think about doing more Hercules (another one with multiple trips through!), I keep getting drawn back to New Yankee! BRAVAE to the folks who created them! Superb!
I recommend this game!
Board the shuttle and embark on a space exploration adventure like no other in an exciting new time management game!

I've already played through 5 times! Fantastic game play, fantastic graphics, challenging but not too frustrating. (Okay ONE level I finally had to go look at the walk through...) You have to think about what you want to cute robots to do -- the robots move and 'act' wonderfully: they stop and "look up" at you when they've finished their task. The graphics throughout are stunning: esp. the water: on levels where you reassemble the irrigation system -- take a sec and look a the effect of the water when it hits dirt or other water. PERFECTLY done! (And all the running water and waterfall are very well done.) The levels are not the same thing over and over; they build slightly on previous ones, but the choices you make match the level you're on. The smoke is very well done.
(First trip, you're just playing the game. Subsequent play-throughs, you can take a closer look at the amazing work this team has done. And you definitely will want to do multiple trips through!)
I cannot recommend this game highly enough -- and I own some 100+ games through Big Fish!! SUPERB game: design, graphics, and fun!
I recommend this game!

I'm not that fond of marble poppers generally (prefer match 3) -- but I play this game over and over. Yeah, I 'die' some of the time, but mostly barely manage to hang on by the skin of my fingers. A lot of fun, a lot of challenge, and a lot of hours spent playing this great game!
Definitely buy it, if you like marble poppers -- and try it is you're not yet sure!

Really enjoying this game, while also finding it amazingly (and not in a good way) frustrating!! Sometimes (at the higher levels; I don't remember it doing this early on), between shooting a marble and the marble landing in the 'train' -- THE STUPID THING CHANGES COLOR!!! So, you've shot a green ball (perfectly), and when it lands in the middle of two green balls -- it has turned blue! SO frustrating! And sometimes the shooter-thing gets hung up -- and I have to wiggle it back and forth to get it to move to where I want to shoot -- and, by then, the moment is passed. (And I have a big, fast, Win7 machine!)
Even WITH those (really bad) problems, I am enjoying the heck out of the game; game play is (mostly) great, the graphics are excellent, the challenge is mostly enjoyable. And since I get to restart (and restart and restart {sigh}) on the same frustrating level(s), it's okay. I'll play through 4-5 'trips' of 5 lives, and then exit the game... Eventually I get through the not-quite-working level and can... you know ... get frustrated on the NEXT not-quite-working level for a while.
So, I DO recommend this game, but try to get it on sale -- and then have a LOT of patience with the glitching.
I recommend this game!

I'm almost done with my fourth time through -- and I only bought it a couple week ago! Does that make it sound like it's too easy!? It's not! It's addictive! The graphics are excellent, the game play is challenging without being terribly/painfully hard (yes, I've died several times -- do you call it that when the ball-train reaches the end?), and you can keep re-playing because you never know what's coming up. Very well done!!
I recommend this game!

Tried the demo last night, bought the game last night, just (late afternoon) finished playing through. (Okay-so, I had a LOT of free time, and yes, my wrist hurts!) I'm always leery of games with slow action -- or lots of wasted time between rounds: I want to PLAY, not marvel at the programmer's skill with pretty pix (sorry programmers!) This game was superb at keeping me engaged! (And, that written, the graphics in this game are excellent, too!) This was challenging, but not too challenging. Really really well-done game!
I recommend this game!

(I'm a leftie, and I hate that this game switches my mouse buttons back, but it's a small annoyance.) I enjoy this game a lot! This trip (3rd? 4th? through the game?), I'm trying to match-up every single 'tile' in the whole maze... makes getting to the end much slower, but it's fun too! I don't care for the 'racing scarabs' levels, but it's because of the reversed mouse buttons and that I can't see which way the 'track' goes except by watching the other scarabs. Still, I usually come in 1st or 2nd. Really enjoy it! (I'm 58 and female -- this is just the kind of casual gaming designed for my demographic!)
I recommend this game!
