I've been playing this game for about an hour now and have found it to be one of the best games I have ever played. It stands out in its originality and it must have taken a huge amount of work making it. I do hope there are sequels.

That's high praise, Bernie - I'm so glad you like it.

Good news, a new Maze game is in the making, I beta tested the game and it will in the same line as the 1st one,YES, the working title is: Maze - The Broken Tower.
I will be buying this one when the Finished product is out, I can hardly wait.

Hi Starcom, I edited out the specific comments regarding the beta test per the posted rules stickied on top of the forum. Since games change, sometimes drastically between beta and release it is not fair to developers to comment and possibly sway someones decision to purchase based on something not in the final release. Glad you are looking forward to it though and that it's in the works!

Hi BrownEyedTigre,

Thanks for making the changes, my first post was without the extra comments and then went back and added those comments you removed, funny thing is that I felt I should not have added them and now I am glad you removed them, since you are right in saying that a Beta game can change big time before it's final release.

Take care
Ray

I am really looking forward to the Maze sequel.

Great news!
Can't wait for the next installment, loved the first one!

Happy there's going to be another one.

Me, too !!

I just purchased this game because of the reviews. I've been out of the loop as far as these types of games go, so this one peeked my interest. However, I've noticed that even tho it's a CE, the guide isn't showing up. I've been to the forum but all I see regarding it is 2 other people having the same proble, but no answer to as why. Does anyone know why there is no guide in CE.

That's really weird, Flo. I see that the folks experiencing this problem had it occur after there was an update to the game. I had no problems accessing the guide but I played the game last year so it was probably a different version.

I think your only recourse is to write to Customer Support, and I would be interested to hear what they have to say.

ok, thanks Marian. I guess if I want it I'll have to ask them. I just hope I get a sensible answer and not be sent to the help centre.

I hope so too, Flo. I have never heard of such a problem before.

There are lots of posts in the Big Fish forum about how updating the game to the latest version broke the guide.

Some people in the forum were asking how to "downgrade" back to the original version of the game, which had been working.

I'm curious to see if I download the game now, the strategy guide will be accessible. Maybe I will try it later on today.

If it were me, I think I would also try contacting the developer to see if they have a solution to the problem.

I wonder if a fresh install works while an upgrade doesn't.
Would uninstalling, using CCleaner, then reinstalling work better than an upgrade?
Or does the "upgrade" only work properly on certain versions of Windows or with certain video cards?

Those are good questions, Jenny.

I just downloaded and installed the game - first time I downloaded the game on this computer, as my old computer went belly up last month.

Went to the strategy guide and it's gone; all I see is a black screen.

I wrote to Customer Support to see what they have to say.

Old OS was Windows 7 Home; new OS is Windows 7 Pro.



Okay, I did a little more research and looked at the files for the game - and the strategy guide folder just isn't there. It appears to me that someone must have uploaded the update and failed to include the folder for the strategy guide - if this is indeed the case, then someone on Big Fish's end just needs to re-upload the update with the guide included. I will write to them about this.

Thanks Marian for looking into this. It was a stupid error to make especially since it was for the CE. I got through it by using the hints, on the bonus now. Hopefully the guide will be there for the next one and they get the kinks out before it goes on the shelf.

I think whoever uploaded the update was thinking it was an SE update rather than a CE update, unfortunately. I wrote to Mad Head yesterday via their contact page about this issue as well - it's worth a try.

I hope they get it straightened out. I haven't played the game yet but I do have it.

Thanks Marian.

I will bug Customer Support about it if they don't resolve it. Since part of the reason to pay more for a CE is the strategy guide, it's no small thing that it is missing. There could very well be a renewed surge of interest in this game when the sequel is released, as well.

Two very good points. Hopefully they'll fix it so we all don't have to start asking for refunds right?.

Right. I played through the game last year and the strategy guide was there. As I said before, it appears that it just needs to be uploaded/integrated with the game since the update. If that is indeed the case, it should be a relatively simple thing to fix.

Marian - any news on this?

Unfortunately I have nothing new to report. I will probably try writing to Big Fish again about this issue.
