Good Morning Gang, it's a rainy one in this part of The Hollow this morning. We're a 46f/8c, which isn't too bad, but we're only supposed to pick up a few more degrees before all is said and done. Over at The Pond this morning they've come out with Wild Tribe. Judging by the name and description it sounds similar to Totem Tribe. The free GameHouse game is a TM called Costume Chaos. The TM part is good but the windowed Match 3 is quite annoying. RA, if anyone still belongs, has Diaper Dash if you don't have it and need to burn a credit. Here in The Hollow we have Jessica-Secret of the Caribbean. A Hog/Puzzle.
Hasn't been much going on lately other than those d*mn Challenge Games. I love them because they give me a reason to replay some of my favorites or give me incentive to finish some I've started but I haven't been playing anything else. With Turbo Subs wrapping up I took some time yesterday to try some of the demos/betas I've been letting build up on my desktop. Gamezebo had a beta called Flower Paradise. If you like Match 3's you'll love it. I-Play (Oberon) had the second build on Paradise Quest. There's a thread for it over in New Game and Development News. Hidden in Time-Mirror Mirror was an easy HOG and about 1/2 of the demo was enough. I'll probably try and get to a few more today. I'm really looking forward to Winemaker Extraordinaire. I've got Plant It Green but I don't have very high hopes for it. (I hope I'm wrong.) Not sure what my 'main game' will be. (I'm haven't decided if I'm done with Turbo Subs yet Pinky, mwah ha ha ha ha. You have to admit you're getting a lot higher score than you thought you would, excellent job and thanks for the challenge. There's still lots of time left so don't pack it in yet. I can't handle the Doggy Dash challenge after playing a game called Paradise Pet Salon. It was one of those that by the time you purchased the second shop the upgrades were gone and the gameplay didn't get any better. After playing through the 3rd salon (and it not getting any better) I forced myself to finish. It killed any interest in the Pet Salon Theme games.I picked up the demo for Wedding Dash 2 and will probably start that tonight. Hopefully WD3 will be out soon and I like to keep them in order. Whatever part of The Hollow you're in I hope you have a great one.
Good Morning, Rob!! So happy to see you posting in your Hollow thread again!! After three straight days of nasty thunderstorms and flash flooding in certain areas, we're looking forward to a high of 83 today, and the sun is brightly shining. My flowers and pear tree were grateful for the rains, but I think they are welcoming the sunshine today. I know I sure am!
You've really kept me 'on my toes' with the Turbo Subs challenge, lol, and I've had a blast with it! I had set myself a personal goal to try to attain the highest possible score Ariadni had posted at the bottom of her spreadsheet of 850,000, but after completing my second play through, it's really getting harder to eek out some extra points. I'll probably keep re-playing a few levels between now and Wednesday, but I doubt that I'm gonna finish the entire game a third time. I'm really amazed though at how much higher a score I could attain than just expert, which is all I aimed for when I originally bought the game. There are a few other members out there that posted that they are playing, and haven't posted any scores, so we both might have a 'surprise' in store for us.But no matter who wins, I've had so much fun with this challenge, and it's all worth it.
Due to a much needed break from Turbo Subs, I played a few other games last night that I had recently downloaded. Tried 'The Mystery of Unicorn Castle' from Gamehouse, and really enjoyed it for a slower pace. Also played some of 'Amelie's Cafe', which I hadn't liked enough to buy it, but downloaded for free from Gamehouse. Still don't like it enough to have spent money on it, but it's a good change of pace and quite challenging. Will also be playing a little more of 'Costume Chaos', and I agree that the match 3 could've been left out. Looking forward to the release of WD3, but like you, still need to finish WD2.
That's about all that's going on in my 'neck o' the woods'. Wishing all you Hollow dwellers a Happy Monday, and have a great week!!!!!!
