Thank God the weather was awful today, so I stayed home all day long. I’ve been playing Madame Fate for three hours now, and passed a couple more episodes.

By the way, thank you for your interest in my MCF: Madame Fate - First Impressions. In 11 hours the article was pingbacked for three times.

Not bad for a newbies like us, Heidi.

Yeah, I forgot to tell you a very important thing: Big Fish games offer Strategy Guide for Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate.

This full walkthrough that contains explanations might be useful for persistent players who are set to solve all the puzzles right here and now, but I am determined to make it to the end myself.

So, I’ve worked out several tips and tricks that will hopefully help you smell the “direction” of the puzzle. Certainly, I will appreciate it if you add your own tips and tricks.

1. Some I Spy(i.e. hidden object) levels hide one more level inside. For instance, once you’ll click on a admission office at circus entrance or a suitcase on top of the roof - you’ll find yourself playing a new hidden object level. Don’t miss these rooms - they may hide about a dozen of hidden objects.

2. These levels-inside-the-levels(let’s call it “babushka levels” he-he), feature very tricky hidden objects. To give you an expample, you need to find a “repaired chain” , yet on the game field you see just the torn chain pieces. So, click on each of them, and you will get “the repaired chain”.

One more example can be seen below. You are asked to find a “well-fed kittie”, yet all you see is just a cat and cat food. Drag a package of cat food to the cat’s plate, and it’ll become well-fed. This is it! but it made me scratch my head for 20 minutes first time I was playing the “babushka level”!

3. Some hidden object items look like you’ll never expect them to look. So, if you’re asked to find a pig, it can be the word “pig” on some banner, not the image of a pig.4. BTW, I’m now playing the level with the Art the Carny Man, and I’m required to find B’s. So, it does not only mean all the letters B on the picture, but also bees(insects). Oh, cunning Big Fish!!! hehehe

5. The introductory I spy levels may hide an extra time bonus behind some hidden object.

6. When you’re on introductory I Spy level (the second level in the beginning of each episode), observe the game field for the changing objects. This is one more bonus!

7. Word puzzles are aimed at testing your IQ. Thus you’ll be required to swap the letters and form several words that mean the signs of Zodiac, or swap the leters in the table so you’ll form 6 words horizontally and verticaly at the same time(see below).

8. In case you’re stuck, you can use hints(there are 5 of them for each episode). In the latest version, hints only make the whole thing more complicated, as they show you the area where you can find one of the clues.

9. Don’t click randomly - or you’ll be penalized for 30 seconds.

10. Luckily, you can skip the last “get-everything-yourself” puzzles. But in such a case, the time for your next episode is reduced.

This is it so far. But I’ll play further, and will publish more hints for the game.

Hi. Sorry for keeping silence for so long, but I was out of town previous week. It’s so fun to come back home again and play my favorite games!

So, I rushed to see what’s new - and luckily, I have some very good game for discussion:

So, game title: Puzzle City

Developer: eGames

Genre: mix of mosaic, tetris, and strategy.

Similar games: any mosaic and Build-a-lot.

Puzzle City developed by eGames is presented by Big Fish Games. This is something extremely original- a mix of mosaic, tetris and strategy game. So, it’s a lot like Build-a-lot game that Heidi was telling about.

But the game principle in Puzzle City is completely different. In order to complete the tasks set in each level, you’ll have not only push the buttons, but to construct areas out of puzzle pieces moving along conveyor at the bottom of the screen.

So, as you look at the screenshot below, you’ll see the playfield is split into parts, i.e. areas. and you’re to fill each with the buildings of the same type.

Here’s what I have cleared out. Some tips and tricks for Puzzle City:

1. The goal Mz Towers sets on each level will include 3 tasks: construct a building of the required type and size, cover the required part of area.

2. If she says, you’re to build 1×1 campus(trading center or whatever) - it means you’ll have to use 1 block of campus materials that ocupies one cell on the playfield. Sorry for saying that, but it is not obvious from the in-game help.

3. You can rotate puzzle pieces just like in Tetris game to fit them in the best place.

4. If you’re doing everything correctly, you earn bonuses for your correct moves. So, with time you can use trash can for getting rid of the useless pieces, recycle device for reshaping the existing puzzle pieces, dynamite for exploding the pieces on the conveyor belt, bulldozer for demolishing the areas you don’t like etc.

5. If you have a choice between using a trash can and recycling device, better use the treash can.

6. When you complete one of the tasks for the current level, you worker appears and gives you thumbs up.

7. Once you take the puzzle piece, the area with the pieces of the same kind flashes. So, be sure to place it in this very area.

8. Never let puzzle pieces overfill the conveyor - otherwise you’re risking to fail the level.

I like the game because of its original gameplay and dynamism. But there are some drawbacks about it, that you’ll notice as you play further. And I’mm looking forward to hearing your opinion. Please join Puzzle City discussion and share your tips and tricks for this game.

Have a nice day!
