Sometimes it has set me up for a combo, sometimes it has done nothing but get some useless bricks out of the way so I can finally get to what I need to take out that last piece. The game gives you a hint after some time has passed without moving, but a lot of times you have to figure out exactly what it's suggesting that you do beyond "move this one". This game takes it further and requires some additional thinking outside of the immediate match, all without requiring powerups or weapons to get the job done. The name may itself be a bit deceptive (at least Egypt is right) - don't let the use of 'brickshooter' or 'match 3' fool you. Of the games I've downloaded and played from here, this might have to go in my top three, along with Jets N Guns and Treasures Of Montezuma. I just finished Djozer and will be starting Sneferu later on. The first few levels are deceptively easy, then the game starts to show what it's made of. Yes, erm.KittyBun, do something more worthwhile than flaming Phil. "Life is short, FluffyDuck, do something worthwhile with it." He's not belittling anyone, you're the one who's belittling him. If you can’t grasp that, at least make sure you only speak for yourself when belittling others(as in “…it’s not OUR fault others are on dial-up or can’t find a way to upgrade their systems)." "And to others the technology simply isn’t available. "Here’s a news flash, little fella: some people have more important ways to spend their money (and their lives) than than turning their computer into a home arcade." "(That and the fact that you “pen” side-splittingly awful poetry that any self-respecting 15-year-old emo chick would be embarrassed to churn out.)" High-speed internet access is hardly new, anyway - it's been around for at least a decade. How is that a put-down? How would you like it if people complained all the time about how they couldn't afford a Hawaiian vacation? Oh, wait, he said that he didn't like it when people whine about not having a fast enough connection to download games. When did he do that? I didn't see that anywhere. "You, in particular, are a jerk because you seem to take great pleasure in putting down people who don’t have access to the latest technology." Who said that he was? He certainly didn't.

"Phil(#28): You’re not a jerk because you you’re far too intellectually advanced to enjoy a “break-out” or “match 3″ game." So, I "like whiz-bang shoot-em-ups", but it actually is for me.

I like both games that require skill and games that require strategy. "If you like whiz-bang shoot-em-ups, this is not for you." "I played a similar game a while back, maybe two years ago, it was with an Inca backdrop, or some sorta South American Indian graphics, it was way cooler, far more complex, 3D graphics feel… Sad thing is I can’t recall the name or find a link, now that I got you drooling." People should explain why it's their favorite game. For example, my favorite game happens to be The Neverhood, but there are plenty of people who hate it for the same reasons that I love it. Maybe not, but it should at least be accompanied by something remotely informative. I don’t consider “this is my favorite game” to be fawning."

"Wow - #26 sure got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Wouldn't that be a knee-jerk reaction, too? I'm guessing that you gave it a thumbs up before playing it. I can’t wait to play it, but alas I must finish the two Atlantis games first." "I’m certain the thumbs down are knee jerk reactions of brickbuster/match 3 haters (emphasis on jerk). I already own it, but am downloading it again in case I ever “lose” it."ĭid it ever occur to you that any event that would trigger the loss of your original copy would get rid of your new one? However, I will say that a thumbs-up vote for this game is well-justified, given that it's very original and gets quite challenging after a while. I've been very busy today, and I simply don't have the time to do a review now.
