New Game Discussion - Puzzle City

October 24th, 2007 by admin

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:

Puzzle City GameSo, game title: Puzzle City

Developer: eGames

Genre: mix of mosaic, tetris, and strategy.

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

Download Puzzle City now

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.Puzzle City Game Screenshot

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!

October 21st, 2007 by admin

Heidi says:

We all have dreams. And it is a great feeling, when the biggest one come true, isn’t it? For me, as for many other, it is to have an own house near to the river in a quite suburb far from big city stress. Yesterday when I played this great game I had exactly the feeling!!! And after that you want only build more, Build-a-lot!

Download Bild-a-lot!

Now more about the game, some tips and tricks:
- Build more than required onthe current level – so you will increase your income!
- time is limited, don’t wait for cash to buy materials, just sell one building in order to raise some money;

- don’t forget to upgrade your houses
- you can do multiple jobs if you have enough workers
- be careful, the first action after some of your workers are free is to demolish and not to repair ;-) - In letters (after you build your post office) you will receive some money every time – so, be sure to check out every letter!
- Don’t forget about banks and other buildings – it will help a lot to build a lot!

What to Play on Weekend: Abra Academy: Returning Cast

October 12th, 2007 by admin

Dolly says:

Thank God it’s Friday. Guess what I saw today as I came to Big Fish games?..

Returning Cast - Download it

Believe it or not, they released the second version of Abra Academy. Now it’s called Abra Academy: Returning cast.

I have a little time to rattle while my game is being downloaded - its size is 75 M!

If you don’t remember the first version, it’s enough to say Abra Academy is a magic-themed hidden object game. So, you as a young magician are to solve different puzzles in order to complete all the game tasks.

What can I say even without downloading it? Abra Academy Returning Cast has got much better and richer graphics. I’ve just seen a couple of screenshots and can prove that. Some of the levels seem fantastic.

I will get back to you in the morning with my impressions on this game. All in all, night is meant for peaceful sleeping, not for insane playing. Too pity, it’s sometimes hard for me to recognize that.

Download Abra Academy

Be back in the morning. Sleep well,

Dolly

Time to Start a New Life - Burger Shop Opening

October 7th, 2007 by admin

In the beginning of the week many of us feel like beginning a new life. So, if you have this sort of wish , welcome to our little blog. There’re two things that make it special:

1. So far it’s one of the shortest blogs on the net as it consists of this single entry.
2. This blog is a place for outpouring of our heart – though it’s very private, it’s shared by two persons.

If you want to figure out who we are – it’s enough to say that we’re just simple women who love simple games. We have been playing them for 10 years and have a lot to tell about them. We’ve been searching for glamorous titles of high quality and addiction. During this time, we’ve got a good collection of top-notch games and would like to share it with the world.

But before we proceed, let’s start with something fresh: Burger Shop – the first title of Gobit Games…
