I saw that. They also have the iphone app on sale for $1 (down from $3) until the 20th which made me bite. Mainly because it has facebook link too so a few friends and I all try to beat each other's scores each week.

does this game work with Vista X64?

When I load it, it seems ok, but then it just brings up the desktop. I click it the tab and the game comes up for a second then goes back to the desktop. The game is still running, it just won't stay in the foreground so i can play it.


ok weird...i closed all other open programs - outlook and firefox - and it worked, but did kind of hang up for a few seconds when changing settings. I was able to get it to windowed mode and started playing then all of a sudden the game window went black.

Try running it in compatibility mode?

Try running it in compatibility mode?

just did and as admin, still get the same issue where the window just goes black.


found their support site and it said to make sure drivers are up to date or try compatibility mode with 640x480 resolution. that just made it worse, lol

 

[gorcorps]

Odd, must be a 64bit issue somewhere. Works as expected both fullscreen and windowed in 32bit windows 7.

My favorite price. I got it just in case can't hurt eh?

Cool, I had the original one, and liked it. Thanks OP!

Turned off hardware acceleration in game? When I try to change settings it either goes black or won't let me click on anything.

Were you getting black screens too?

This game runs like crap. How can a ugly looking game with coloured shapes run so poorly on my wifes pc. Granted it runs integrated graphics but it's nvidia and has a modern dual core cpu. System requirements need a 700MHZ cpu and 256 ram

Lucky it was free.

sounds like other problems on your end, as it runs like a total champ here with a similar setup... low end dual core laptop with integrated GPU

but go ahead and keep blaming the game for something that may be a driver problem, or is pointing to some massive spyware issues on your machine

No spyware and latest driver. I'll keep blaming the game, thanks.
