I was just wondering why the games are always $20 US. To me it seems a tad too much. Or maybe its because Im 19 and the converstion to Canadian dollars is a lot.

For $20, and numerous hours of fun, where else can you buy a game for this price? Most console games are $50 a pop, and aren't even fun. I say it's a reasonable price, they have to make a living somehow.

True. They games last a few hours. Do you think that if a newer version comes out, people who have already regestered, can get it at a lower price?

Newer versions of the same game are usually free updates for those who have already bought and registered the game.

I was wondering, if they do an update to make it fullscreen, that would be a free update correct? I don't want to buy it if I have to pay again to get fullscreen...

Ok, thanks for the update. I'm gonna try to finish the demo Is there an end? The only limiting thing I've noticed so far is a limit on the number of villagers... Which is ok right now... I can't get anymore anyways. I only have one grown up woman... so I can only reproduce really slowly.

You won't be able to get tooo far in the demo because these is a limit on many of the technology upgrades available.

I'd be curious, however, to hear your impressions of playing the demo as long as possible.

So far its ok. The only thing is the layout. I find that it takes too long for the people to walk from one place to another.

Well I had to restart... I drank that potion and only had one girl and she had a baby, and I needed the rest to gather food to have enough and my research didn't get high enough.

So I'm starting over, I hope to get so far as to farm and then I'll get a taste of what the full game is like.

Just to update you Arthur, playing the demo as long as possible was pretty good. I wasn't frustrated or anything. You basically get to a point where you are stuck however because you can't have more than 7 villagers in the demo. It would be pretty hard to raise a new generation with just 2 kids. I think it WOULD be possible. But you aren't really doing anything at that point. You have your food stabilized and your research is pointless now because you can only buy harvesting level 2. I think you should have had a demo puzzle though to give a taste of puzzles.

I bought the game by the way. When I got home from work today I was at the point where I wasn't really doing anything anymore so I wanted to buy. But I do think you should have had a puzzle to give an idea of what they are. Well I haven't even seen a puzzle yet so... yeah. I still don't have an idea. If I am playing a game that I started in the demo version, can the puzzles appear? Because I thought I'd just continue my game from earlier.

Yes, you can continue the game you started in demo mode, and the puzzle pices will show up when you complet them.

Ok thanks, I figured it'd be fine, but I didn't want to be playing forever and realize none of the puzzles are completed.

Yes, but you have to download the update from the site where you purchased it (in your case, Big Fish Games - just download the trial and install it right over your existing game).
