I played this game today. Even had music on all the time. It is an amusing three tiles matching game with a story in between. I like it. I am slow. Jessica and Nicr were always faster lol. But I managed to get the levels in time. Lucky me. Good thing trial time is an hour. I had planned to do other things today.
BTW I resized the wallpaper to a quarter. You can download it in different sizes.
I think it is nice to use in Inertia Jigsaw. (Lekker Off Topic Gerda)

Gerda, my sister Lucy bought this game from BFG and really loves it. It's easy when you start but later it gets hard. She loves the challenge.
Great game

Hi All.
I too, enjoy this game very much! What's most maddening is I can't seem to get beyond Senator. I keep starting over again and again. Maybe I'll make it past, one of these days. It really is a fun game.

I reached the status of Emperor on level 84, when I bought the last upgrade, I had 16 lives at the end too, although if you fail a level you keep the resources you earn and the next time you play that level you will get different power ups, so its worth failing a few to get your resources higher to buy the next upgrade...

Told Lucy there was hope, lol...
She gets to level 63, loses all her lives and ends up back at level 53... but won't give up....

Having a few days vacation left, I eventually purchased the game. I play this game for little over a week now. It sure gets more difficult beyond level 50. I had 5 lives. Lost two on that level. Finally ranked up to senator. I sure was bored being priest. I am on level 53 now with 4 lives left.
How is Lucy doing?

Lucy loves the game, but there were days when she wanted to throw it out the window, lol..
Took her a long time to get pass level 53. She would be doing good then lose all her lives and that would bring her back to 53 everytime.
After don't know how long she finally made it to Emperor on level 84. She is still playing it to see what comes next. We read that there are something like a 100 levels.
If you like very hard games this is the one. And it can become addicting because you just want to get to the next level.

Wow, she has ranked up nicely.
If I understand right, loosing all your lives doesn't mean you have to restart from scratch? That would be a relieve. It took me 29.54 minutes to get through level 60 today. I only got the time bonus and collected it as soon as it became available. I thought all along to give up and hope to get hammers or bombs instead. Never thought I would manage.
Level 61 is even harder. Got another live, but I already know I will fail this one. Only get crosses. That bonus doesn't do much.
I think I love the game for it is sure challenging. But more because it comes to an end at level 100. That differs from the games you can play level after level into eternity or infinity like MTE and Ricochet. Love those too.
After having beaten level 60, I though it a good idea to backup the player. So if I have to start over from a level lower than that, I restore the back-up. Is that called cheating?

talked to Lucy about the game. This is what she had to go through.. when she lost all her lives in levels 60's it would send her back to level 53 all the time.. Then later in the levels 70's back to level 58..
I made a mistake of her Emperor level.. She made Emperor on level 82..
Now when she goes on she click on Olympus a new board, hers starts at level 83.. She got up to level 95 lost all her lives and went back to level 83...
She loves the challenge of the game like you. I hope this gives you some information about the game..
Lucy said this game will test your patience, lol...
Have fun with your game...

Lucy finally beat the game. There are 100 levels to it.
She got up to level 98 the other night and lost her lives and had to go back to level 83. So she couldn't believe it when she got up to level 99 and then 100 tonight. She said the most important thing was the clocks for all the extra time.

I beat this 3 times now, maybe all that training on match 3 games as a tester for BKR2 and playing both ...
I learnt to keep the last powerup in reserve for the next level, and not to panic, when I ran out of time , I knew I would have better power ups next time lol hoped I would
well done Lucy!!
every game layout is different , so its a game you can play again!
Lucy would love jewel quest! its just as tricky and I have not beaten all the levels on that!

Compliments to Lucy for having beaten the game. And bravo to Pinky having it done 3 times.
I lost last life at level 65. It is getting very difficult after level 60. Far too difficult to my taste. I lost and gained lives during the last few levels. Now it says I have to start over from level 16. Well not in 16 years. I might as well start over from scratch. I don't think this is fair.
Perhaps I will try to play Jewel Quest through instead. Only played a few levels in trial hour with that once.

Lucy asked me to give you a message about the game... When she lost all her lives and had to go back... She found that if she click on the word "back" she didn't go that far back... She hopes this information helps..

I am addicted to "Cradle of Persia" now. At first I thought it another swap game. But this time you have to connect at least three tiles of the same. I downloaded it Saturday evening at bedtime at played till level 11. By now I am at level 51 ranked up to Judge. I have 15 lives. I hope to get this game through till the end. It sure is getting more difficult at higher levels like it was with "Cradle of Rome"
I leave the power up to be, because they get more power if you do. You can save them for next level.
It is fun to read the help. Not because not knowing how to play the game, but for the humor it is written with.
In general I think it even better than "Cradle of Rome". I love the game play more.
Though having played through all in game levels of BKR and Monarch and a few levels more, I should be able to do it without cheating.
But first back to the Cradle of Persia.
Don't get worried if I am not around. I am playing game.

I have been playing Cradle of Persia now, too. Thanks to Gerda. This game is great, I made it up to level 50 and have 17 lives right now. The game does get harder as you go along. I think the game is better then Cradle of Rome, but I only played the demo on that one. This game is very addicting, lol...

Well, I'm up to level 89 in Cradle of Persia. This game is great. The graphic are very nice. Got the town done, but now I need to free Aladdin. Those levels are very hard, for me they are. So if you have alot of lives save them for near the end. I'm down to 13 lives.
