sisinka, good catch, but it's been my experience that developers won't patch a game only for typos/grammatical errors after release. Hope you manage to get in on beta testing the solitaire or M3 games later since you seem quite meticulous. Considering how JM Sol Summertime looks a lot like the previous solitaire game except with different graphics and is about half the length of the previous CE solitaire game, it's probably a good thing it wasn't released as a CE. I had also noticed that Atlantis 2 CE ran beautifully in the SE portion of the game, but the CE map had several glitches including at least 1 broken bonus level. Would rather that a game be shorter and have good QA than a long project which was rushed out the door.

I know it / I think it :-) I'm signed up for beta testing, looking forward to the next JM-3/Solitaire game :-D
There's no problem fixing it - but it would be good for everyone to fix it, which is why I'm writing it here.

Next bug (JMS Summertime), Spiderette Cells, Help:
{Solitaire_9_5} Seven columns of increasing height, 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd, 3 cards to the 3rd, etc. The top card of each pile is face up and is available for play to the Foundation Piles or to another Tableau Pile.
is bad, correct is this: {Solitaire_9_5} Seven columns of increasing height, 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd, 3 cards to the 3rd, etc. The top card of each pile is face up and is available for play to the Cells or to another Tableau Pile.

Jewel Match Solitaire 2, bug in bonus solitaire "Twenty":
{Twenty_12} When all cards from Stock are dealt, spaces can be filled with cards from any Tableau Pile.
But this does not work, you cannot move any card from Tableau to the free space. Tested in SE & CE versions, BFG.

Jewel Match Solitaire Summertime, bonus solitaire "Lady Maria": {Solitaire_8_11} Click once on the Stock to deal 1 card to the Waste Pile. No redeals. .. this isn't correct. {Solitaire_8_11} Click once on the Stock to deal 1 card to the Waste Pile. One redeal. is OK. This is how it works in the game.

There is a big bundle sale at fanatical.com. Get 10 Grey Alien published/developed games for 7.09 Euro. It contains 6 of our solitaire games a few m3 from Grey Alien and their beautiful "Regency Solitaire". They are all for steam but I doubt you can beat this value pack anywhere. www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/grey-alien-games-bundle

Thanks ashmoor, I have all of those except for Spring Bonus, which looks like a very simple M3 (Spooky Bonus is a great M3 game, but far too easy for me). But will say all the solitaire games are really well done except for perhaps the first JM Solitaire or 2 which may or may not have a progression block bug depending on your computer. So for anyone who doesn't have these games and enjoys solitaire, this is an awesome deal. :)

I haven't encountered any bug in the standard higher/lower levels in JM Solitaire CE 1/2. The bugs are (BFG) in the bonus solitaire games.

sisinka, when JM Sol 1 and 2 were first released, some Windows 10 users were reporting on the BF forums that they would randomly get stuck somewhere in the games where it wouldn't let them go on to the next level. A patch was issued for at least 1 of the games but I'm not sure if it fixed everybody's system. I had no problems getting through either game at all and finished them both.

Challenge for the M3 veterans: As you may know, JMT3 is coming to Steam on October 26. Unlike the BFG version it has Steam Achievements for all the OCD needs Last night I worked for 45 minutes on completing one of the hardest ones: make 50 matches in 55 seconds. Can you make 50 matches in 55 seconds (auto matches do not count)? Pick a level you think is suited for this task and go into a frenzy Because nobody else in the team was able to get it, we decided to up that time limit to 60 seconds but in JMO it is still 55 seconds. SynthpopAddict, ;)

ashmoor, nope...you're still not making me go to the boiling water vapor place yet, new trophies notwithstanding. I'm simply too busy with life to manage more than 1 game site at a time and I wouldn't want to have to buy the game(s) again just to go for the trophies. As for your inquiry, if you were asking about JMT3, it's been quite a while since I played, but assuming you could do it on any level, I could probably pull off 50 matches in 55 seconds on one of the easy early levels. The Cradle of Rome or Cradle of Egypt games had trophies for making 3 or 5 moves in a few seconds and I would always get them without even really trying. Never timed myself, but I want to say my match speed in timed mode is at least 1 move every second if I get a rhythm going, probably slightly less than that sometimes.

SynthpopAddict, oh, I didn't expect you to go to steam, just time yourself with your phone or a watch (that's how I did it, because I was doing QA, and I wasn't sure the feature worked yet). I get the easy ones without trying either (10 matches in 10 seconds, 20 matches in 22 seconds), but 50 in 55 is like a marathon, slipping just a little bit is enough to have you start over. I have no doubt you would get it.

ashmoor , you know how if you get matches quickly enough in Storm Tale 1 or Storm Tale 2, it makes a gradually higher pinging sound for each move and if you pause long enough, the tones reset? I can keep the highest tone going for at least a minute. I don't know if I could count the matches as I was going along because that would slow me down, but constantly hearing what sort of sounds like a "pipsqueak" is almost annoying. Bragging over for now, sorry all! [red-faced]

The need for quick strokes raises blood pressure 8-) There is a similar trophy (albeit only 5 moves in 5 seconds) in the "Dreamland Solitaire" series. ...I didn't find a thread about this series here, but I highly recommend it to lovers of Jewel Match Solitaire games.

There's a "Swift Fox" trophy in all the JM Solitaire games I have, isn't that the same thing? (I get that one all the time too without trying.) I've been a gamer for nearly all my life; started when I was 14 which was, well, a very long time ago, so my click speed doesn't stress me out in timed mode, just my m.o.

ashmoor, you mean that whole thing about a Steam trophy for 50 moves in 55 seconds is a joke? :o Yes, you really got me there LOL!

SynthpopAddict, the trophy is not a joke but challenging you is just teasing, I know you can handle it and I knew you would catch the bait and react to it even if you wouldn't play it. I think your vapor-fobia is strong enough to cure your OCD (rofl)

ROFL ashmoor, one of these days I'll get the "vapors" but will have to be dragged in kicking and screaming. As for the ribbing, are you trying to get your ice cream ban extended? And here I was counting down the months when I could start sending you virtual ice cream once more. :P

Jewel Match Solitaire Atlantis 2 CE/SE Next bug in help, solitaire Morroco:
1) {AlgerianPatience_7} At the start 2 cards are dealt to the first 4 Tableau Piles and 1 card to the other 4 Tableau Piles each, all face up. No, correction: {AlgerianPatience_7} At the start 2 cards are dealt to the first 5 Tableau Piles and 1 card to the other 3 Tableau Piles each, all face up.
2) {AlgerianPatience_15} Click on the Stock to deal two cards at a time to each Reserve. When only eight cards remain, click on the stock to deal one card to each Tableau Pile. There is no redeal. No, correction: {AlgerianPatience_15} Click on the Stock to deal one card at a time to each Reserve. When only one card remain, click on the stock to deal one card to the first Reserve Pile. There is no redeal.
Someone just copied the Algerian Patience rules. So (my) correction is according to the reality of the game.
