Unlike a couple of people who seem to have made it all the way through this game, I cannot get past level 7-1. The board is different every time I save my game and come back to it, but it is like a solitaire or mahjong game where there are no more moves. Every time I try this level it is the same, no matter what the layout. I'm not a dummy and I'm not 5 years old and I believe I understand the -sketchy- instructions for the game, so someone tell me if I am missing something, please.

I have also noted some problems with the game that indicate that it was released before adequate testing had been done and I am attempting to contact the developers at Elefun to let them know what I found. Even their Contact form does not work! This game was just put up on the Elefun website a week or two before it was given to Giveawayoftheday and it is not yet even listed in their games forum for discussion. We've been used as game testers!

I am posting this message in the Giveawayoftheday Forum where I would welcome additional feedback from any GAOTDers now that you have had more time with this game.

VR, I too have the same problem. I actually managed to complete 7-1 after MANY attempts. If you think that was bad, 7-2 is a nightmare. It is virtually impossible to complete. Every attempt is a dead end - and there are very few, if any chances to make any attempts as it is. I don't understand how some have managed to completed this. If you received any word from Elefun, please let me know. Maybe there is a back handed trick to break through? Anyways, I am very frustrated and would like to finish the game after all the effort I put into it.

....and I thought this game was way too easy at first...hahaha!

The same here! 7-2 is making me craaaaazy! I've restarted the level at least 100 times, and the most moves I've had has been 2. The 2nd move, butterflies went flying everywhere, but the butterflies sitting on the board were the same.

@ silent1: How do you even make a move on 7-2?

I can't find anything?

Silent, the most moves I have made are 4 - that was a miracle. It doesn't matter what you try, all moves are dead ends. Yes, the butterflies flying everywhere happened to me a few times too - and there wasn't any reason for them to fly!

Hadeda, you will find some moves you can make if you restart the level over and over. The butterfly arrangment varies a little every time you do restart. But, it doesn't matter, because this level is impossible to complete.

If someone out there REALLY has completed 7-2 and above, please let us know how you did it!!!!

Wow! That's great that you were able to finish! Could you explain how you did it?

how was it done? using gamewiz32 - a "cheat tool".

I think it is fair to say, the level still hasn't been completed.

I'm SOOOO glad I'm not the only who's been frustrated with this level.

HOPEFULLY EleFun Games will put a patch out & then offer it to us. I really like the game & find it relaxing -- until I get to level 7-2, that is. :oP~

@ Sugarspirit: I kinda cheated on 7-2... I fulled up the manna and did one move and won

@ Bubby : *Shrugs* The levels impossible... At least I didn't lie about winning it the proper way

Oh, I'm so lame about "cheat tools". Didn't know that gamewiz32 was.
Even so, how on earth were you able to fill up the manna without any moves? Oy! I'm lost! Yes, I hope Elefun does fix the problem. I was really getting into it and want to finish!

Gamewiz32 allows you to modify values in the game :) What I like about it, it has a mode that's called "unknown value with size". The mode allows you to search the game for values that have either decreased, increased, stayed the same & or changed from the last search. I just go to a easy level and find out the manna value there and once I found out the manna value I just go to that evil level 7-2 and modify the value to 200 and do a move and finish that level :)

Hi Hadeda. Okay, I understand. Not sure if I will do it. I'd rather wait til elefun fixes the problem. However, I might be tempted if they don't hurry up!! Out of curiosity, did you use Gamewiz on the rest of the levels to the end or just on 7-2. I'm wondering if the problem is just on this particular level or it continues on the others as well.

The other levels went fine and didn't have any problems with it :)

Sugarspirit, have you been able to clear 7-2 yet? Have you heard anything from Elefun?
Thanks

Haven't tried the cheat, but haven't gotten past 7-1 either. Got tired of trying. Elefun has some PROBLEMS.

BTW my game locked up a couple of times when 5-1 opened. I had to reboot. Also, I regularly get one butterfly sitting on top of another and a vacant space next to it. This game was seriously not tested enough and should never have been given away, much less put up for sale. I have screen captures to show Elefun, but still cannot get in contact with them

The Contact Us form on their website does not work.
There is no topic in their Forum for this game, though they have two other games listed.
I tried to join their Forum anyway. To complete registration, you must get a reply from them after registering with the Forum. I never got that email from them either. So I am stuck with no way to contact the developers.

I hope GAOTD can help us.

I haven't cheated either. No Ko, I did not get past 7-2. Like VP, I haven't been able get any response either. I really would like to complete this game. VP, I also had the same problem with the butterflies on a few occasions and tried to play as long as I could in other areas to fill up the manna since these particular butterflies remained frozen. This game certainly has some technical issues which I hope will be resolved soon.

I, too, have given up. *SIGH!* I REALLY want to finish this game. Does elefun really not care? Hopefully someone on the GOTD team can rattle their cage. Surely THEY have the contact details for them.

Okay, I'm on Level 7-6, without any cheats. The key to Level 7-1, which did take me a while to figure out, is the "vines" .. you can not match butterflies that have a vine between them. The real key here and on the further levels is to make a 5 or 6 butterfly match so that you get the bonus butterfly that removes all of that color. I did restart the level numerous times ( maybe 20 or so ), but I did make it. Just keep trying, you'll get it.

gimlimom, how the hairy heck did you manage to get past 7-2????? Inqiuring minds NEED to know.....

Sorry Gimlimom, it's really hard for me to believe that you completed 7-2 without cheating. (don't take that personally). I have tried this level at least 80 times. I was able to get the the bonus butterfly on at least 8 or 9 occasions (on separate games) while playing 7-2. After the color change, there was ALWAYS a dead end. Unless your computer is more special than mine (or the others that are complaining) it is impossible to complete this level.

So, yes, please tell us how you did it. Seriously, I want to finish without cheating.

I just kept at it. I'm sorry, but I don't make a habit of documenting each step. All I can say is that I always try to get the butterflies under the webs first.. Like I said, I did have to restart many times, but I did get it. And, Poopie... believe it or not, I didn't cheat.

Sorry I can't give you any more details, but I really don't think it's a bug in the game......

I feel like it must be like winning a lottery. The odds of getting a board that actually will work must be very high! I'll keep trying, but sadly, after 80 or more tries, I doubt I'll make it through this level.
:(

You CAN still use the butterflies when they are stacked on top of one another, but only one of them will work. You have to try both colors. I don't remember what happens to the empty cell. I think it is eventually re-filled.

Not that that helps me through level 7! Thanks for the tip, Gimlimom. I may try some more later. . much later. GAOTD Team, PLEASE come home!

If memory serves, the empty cell can still be matched, you just have to experiment to see what color it is supposed to be. Then it is filled.

The double stacked ones... i think it's the top one that works....

btw .. Level 7 is the end of the game....

What a relief to read this thread. I've only managed to get as far as 7.2, and I thought
I must be absolute rubbish to be stuck there. I tried it several times but still can't get more than a couple of matches.

Got a simple response from "John, Content Manager" a couple of weeks ago asking what kind of problems I was having, but it went to my Spam folder. Found it 9/12 and sent them a LONG message detailing all problems and telling them they should also look here. Also sent screen shots and detailed all my problems trying to contact them through their(non-working)Forum.

No response. Are we surprised?

RE-sent everything again just now.
John's e-mail address is just: contact@elefun-desktops.com
