lgtsia, I have wishlisted it so I will definitely buy the Steam version, besides who knows if BF will start offering daily games again? I'm with joybelle, sometimes having a game that isn't mind-boggling is just what the doctor ordered to escape from the daily stress of RL. Besides, most of us are about 3 tiers down from your level of expertise SynthpopAddict, joybelle, and I fit into the "slightly above novice" category when it comes to M3s and we ain't ashamed to admit it Rolling Along

Oh, I completely understand that not all the games should be at the difficulty of the Cursed House series. A few games back for each series, it seemed like all of them were going towards hard, which not only made them all look like clones, but it's not great for everyone because these are casual games after all. If Laruaville 12 is on about the difficulty level of L7 or 8 I'd be OK with that. Will keep checking back and in the game thread when the game releases for feedback. :)
As for BF, it's unfortunate that they aren't offering many games of late, but I can certainly understand that they don't want to get into a political situation and several casual game devs are based in Russia. It's got to be hard for the Russian citizens, of which I'd think not all of them support what Putin is doing.

lgtsia , Let's play 20 Questions Have you played a M3 game that you thought was wicked difficult, maybe even impossible to finish (whether yours or by another developer) what game were you playing when you decided you could create a game way better (or was there a different reason?) ...and what is your favorite game by a different dev, of any genre? I'll leave it up to other members to come up with the other 17 Questions

Are we supposed to be answering the assorted questions too? :)
-If you could make any sort of game(s) you wanted, what genre(s) would they be? -What is your inspiration for game concepts?

Well... First of all, before we started making of our first casual game ( Cursed House 1 ) we checked many games in different genres ( hogs, cards, etc. ) Later we've decided to focus on Match 3 and started to play all most popular games. Fishdom, 4 Elements etc. There used to be many good M3 games.
Nowadays, unfortunately, there's not so much of really good games what is sad.
Just want to make an annoucement. We're going to make a big 50% sale on Steam for all our games. It is a week long deal and it will start on March,14.

Spellarium 8 is coming! There are some changes in the M3 gameplay A new bonus game added ( jigsaw - like puzzle ) Also, now you can replay some of the bonus levels through the side menu ( STD, Jigsaw, Solitaires, Mahjongs ) Now, power up explosions will remove color tiles again ( in SP7 you should make a combo on it and many people didn't like it ) Less solitaires. More STDs and HOGs. Release on the BFG will take place on Jun, 4th. Steam release will take place a bit sooner ( but I can't tell the date right now, will keep you updated )

Steam release will take place a bit sooner ( but I can't tell the date right now, will keep you updated ) I've wishlisted S8 at Steam, according to them Spellarium 8 will release May 27. Now back to my other games so I'll be able to get cracking on Eric's next adventure soon.
Where did lgtsia go? The game just released today and I'm off to buy it. WT to be published soon! :)

lgtsia, pennmom, SynthpopAddict, I have purchased this and it is absolutely brilliant however there seems to be a glitch as twice now I have not been able to carry on in 2 seperate levels as I can't make any matches even when there are matches to make. It just will not match. The only way I can correct it is to replay the level again and as I say it has happened twice on levels 5 and 8. I am now on level 10. Such a great game.

I've bought it on Steam myself, but wasn't having that problem. Currently at level 9. The new jigsaw puzzle game I am finding way too hard. It took me a couple of puzzles before I even realized that you can use the colors on the edges as a guideline for what lines up at least, since you have to get all the colors on the edges to match - and you still have to do the tangram-sort of fitting all the pieces into the frame without overlaps or anything hanging out. Would have been far better if we could have seen the finished image in the pieces all the time instead of that mosaic pattern where you only get the reveal when the puzzle is solved. I haven't been able to do any of them yet without using the hint button. Enjoying the new levels otherwise, as they seem designed with the idea that you can use less powerups if you don't want to blow your way out of everything. It is quite a formidable challenge to play that way though!
WT in progress as I write, but might take a while to get it published in the usual place. I'm going to try my hand at putting it up on Steam too so I can paste the screenshots of the finished jigsaw puzzles there.
[update] I've finished the game after playing all holiday weekend. If you're like me and refuse to use powerups unless absolutely necessary, this Spellarium gets frustratingly hard in spots! One level took me an hour to complete because I refused to cave in and blow my way out of it. Aside from wishing that the jigsaw puzzles just showed the finished picture in the pieces instead of having to painstakingly piece together the little color bits, the other thing I found annoying was how the game wants to give you the "would you like to skip this level" message after what seems like just 5 minutes? In the level where I worked on it for an hour, the game actually gave me that message twice in the level! (Yes, I suppose I "have a problem"...serious gaming OCD and not wanting to have my hand held in a M3 game? ) Between writing the WT and replaying levels a LOT, I was seeing that popup constantly. The WT is now posted in the usual location as well as on Steam. I hope the jigsaw puzzle screenshots I put into the Steam WT appear for everyone else, as I otherwise have the screenshots in my Steam Cloud folder as "private" to prevent them from just appearing on the community hub for the game.

I just checked on Steam and there's no page for CH11 yet even to wishlist. Otherwise, CH is my favorite of all the series and this one sounds like it's going to be fun as usual!
Update: Page for CH11 is now up on Steam for you to wishlist! Release date is August 31. :D

Just would like to let you know that we're going to release Laruaville 13 on iPad. I had a lot of fun replaying it. In Laruaville 3 you have to re-create seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It has passed QA yesterday so soon it will be published on the AppStore.
