Hi, Ana!

Thanks, although I don't know if I can wait that long lol ! If my willpower holds out, I probably will use my free game credit because there is no doubt I'll purchase another 3 games before the end of the month.

Dire Straits- must have been a fruadian slip as all these great games are putting my wallet in Dire Straits! Anyway, reading the BFG forums there are morphing items (I think they recharge your hints) and it doesn't seem to be CE particular so they will most likely be in the regular version. But alot of people on the forum think the CE version is worth it for the extra levels, novels etc. I haven't finished the demo so haven't decided.

I'm really liking this game. Fun scenes and music too. Can't wait for the regular version. Gotta see how far I can get on the demo first. Neat.

I think the morphing feature only happens after you us a hint. It refills the hints right away. (So, now you know I used 2 hints when searching for that last piece of an object I couldn't find.) Apparently, there are 30 morphs in the game. eek

I'm in the same position as dorish. I downloaded and played the demo...loved it and can't buy it. Have tried to buy through my game manager and through the web site. I am a member and contacted Big Fish tech and they gave me another link to the cart to try, but although it lists the game, it then zeros the price and says it's not available yet. I also tried with a different browser as someone had found that had helped, but no luck. I've noticed a few people on their forums with the same problem. Might try to ask their tech dept. again; although maybe someone is trying to tell me something.

Have you tried un-installing the game from game manager before buying it?

No, sadly no success. I uninstalled it from the game manager and tried to buy it with no luck and then reinstalled it and tried to buy it again. Have sent another email to Big Fish tech dept. so will see. I really shouldn't be trying to buy it anyway as I have plenty more games on the go. Might try again when the ordinary version comes out.

I played the demo and have vista 32 home premium in case anyone wants to know, and hate to rub salt into open wounds but I also have had no problem playing or downloading it. I bought it because I recognized a great game when I see it. Congrats BFG you did it again! I hope everyone who wants to play this is able to download it now.

Oops! I didn't realize mine was the last post when I came back - I wasn't on page 2! Sorry about not editing my last post. oops

Just had a reply back from Big Fish about my problems trying to buy the game. This is an error if you try to buy using Switch/Maestro and they are trying to sort it out and tell all those who reported problems.

Well, I finished the game last night! Never did find all the morphs but I must play the game again anyway!

The game wasn't overly long but it was fantastic and well worth the price-tag! I do hope there will be more similar games bravo

I installed the game this morning and having no problem with it, so far. I'm only half-way through the demo. I may get this one.

The only other CE I have gotten is Dire Grove. I played close to half yesterday on the regular mode, found around 11 of the morphing items. I am really loving this game. I love the pieces to find, the HOG isn't hard and the adventure part is great. Love the graphics! Well worth the 20 bucks this time.

Me too Koalanut!

Like Dire Grove, any you missed you can find in the replaying bravo but the ones already found, stay found!

Great game!! The bonus "chapter" was great too!!

Did you use a new profile when starting the game over? That usually resets all the morphing objects. Now I am curious if they are really gone after you find them and replay again (on a different profile).

No Kate, I used the same profile for the replay.

I am not sure but I think the morphs I found the first time through are still found - but not counted.

I think on a new profile you would have to find the morphs all over again. You had to in Dire Grove too. Otherwise another player in your house would be "cheated" out of a lot of the fun!

I never did find them all on the first playing. I didn't even know to look for them in the early chapters.

I didn't see where they tell you what screens to go to either rotfl and hadn't noticed the strategy guide until I needed a shove! I guess I am not real observant but I still loved the game!

What a fun game! I played thru once, on easy, and found a several of the morphing objects. When I finished and hit "Play" again, on the same profile, I started from the beginning automatically on Hard mode. No hints! And no skipping either. Wowza!
And the morphing objects were all needing to be found. I discovered that they didn't morph until a certain scene or objective was reached. I knew certain objects would morph but they didn't do it until I had reach a particular place in the story.
I think this made it more challenging because I have no idea what set it off!

Great game! rah

Ah! Maybe that is why some aren't morphing - I just haven't triggered the morph duh I thought one I had done in the first playing slapforehead

Some of the puzzles are really difficult on Hard!

I bought this game today. I am loving it. I like having places to revisit and remembering where new inventory items may be used. Morphing items are fun too. Lots to do so this will not be a short game for me. Great game.
