   We have fixed all problems with the game.
   Thank you."

   TO WHICH I REPLIED:

   "Thank you. HOWEVER, I downloaded it from Giveawayoftheday,com and I do not have a Registration Number to activate this game if I download a new copy from your website. If you checked the links I provided, you will have seen that a LOT of Giveaway members were unhappy that this game was released to us before it was thoroughly tested.

   Will you provide me with a registration number?
   Sue"

   THEY NEVER RESPONDED. Obviously, they do not care and were just using GAOTD as game testers! BuBBy, or another Moderator, if you can at least try to make sure Slava or someone with authority at GGAOTD is aware of this treatment, I'd appreciate it.

   Since games are being repeated, I think that this one should be offered again (the corrected version) and GGAOTD should NOT be paying Elefun Games for this repeat, if they did in the first place. Also, I would NOT give Elefun any more free publicity by offering their buggy games for free testing by GGAOTD members. Makes for bad feelings; makes GGAOTD look bad.

   Anybody know who this genius is, who practiced hard and fast and finished the game by 4:26 am on the day of the giveaway? http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/story-of-fairy-place/#comment-59860

   It appears we've been had. Nobody could have finished level 7-2 that quickly, if at all. I downloaded the new shareware version and installed it to a different folder so I could get the "fixed" data file. After swapping that with the old data file, I was able to play the "new" level 7-2. It's really quite easy now.

   Why didn't they just tell us we would only be able to try all but the last group of levels?

   ...assuming that person had not played the game before it was offered on GGOTD.

   Perhaps they played a different build of the registered/shareware version a month earlier. Same applies to people who ask "how can they download, install and test the software in 10 minutes"? Perhaps they downloaded the software months ago, and have been using it since.

   Thanks, jr46 for the fix. I'll do the same. It's not a bad game, just a very badly handled situation.

   I agree. It is a very professionally made game of the 3-in-a-line type which I hope does well. Maybe they meant well. Language and culture barriers often cause a lot of misunderstandings.

   I'm sure GOTD paid for it believing it was a fully finished, and finishable, version that wouldn't have people tearing out their hair. If it's buggy, the developers should have supplied a fix here. Naughty developers. Smacked botties.
