Tried it out last night and every game I launched gave me a message saying that I had to set the game to windowed mode because it can't handle direct screen access. This is on Windows, of course. Basically makes the program useless for me.

I've never heard or seen that. Makes no sense bc I'm using my own network.

Eric- did you go on the help forums? I've had zero issues viewing everything. However I use a Mac I did have a connection issue but it was fixed.

It looks like it authenticates through Splashtop first (bought it and tried it yesterday), so that maybe how any charges would be assessed.


Regardless, a very cool product, thanks for letting us know about it and the sale!

I saw pple talking about charges but I still don't understand bc I've never given a CC# so I'm not sure how charges occur.

Any upcoming sales?

I think they were talking about future plans, post the v2 release, but I had a difficult time understanding it, that is why I asked you.

Not much that I've seen on great sales.

This is an object hunt game co-developed by Alawar and Vendel Games.

It occupies the familiar territory of "find the pieces of the object and then use the object to proceed". Hints are limited, albeit in a fashion I have yet to entirely understand ( I often have the issue of tapping the screen right as a game is giving me a vital bit of information). Pieces of objects can be spread across multiple locations, adding a bit of challenge. The graphics look dated and a tad pixelated to me, which makes sense as the iPad download was only 75-some mb, less than a quarter of BFG's usual size. Overall, if you can overlook the graphics it might be worth picking up, personally I am still on the fence.

Omg is anyone playing Yesterday? It's one of the few games that make me really wish I had an iPad. And one of the rare few I feel the need to use headphones. Love the eerie soundtrack!

I've played it a little bit, and I really like what I played. I just wish I could get back to it.

Yeah, I was trying to play outside and it wasn't working so well since it's such a dark game. But really liking it so far. A lot of trial and error, but doesn't bother me yet.
