ATLANTIS QUEST RIP-OFF!!!

Hi, It took me a couple weeks to get the hang of the game. I'm on my 5th journey. Don't give up so quick. And, please use fewer expletives. Good luck. Ginih

I've had fun playing this game, but I really think level 9-12 is impossible. Has anyone ever beat it? I'd like to hear your advice.

Hi Rav,
Where in the world did you buy this game for $19.99? Big fish has all sorts of programs available for varying prices! You know, I can't always "beat" the games I get and play from , but that doesn't mean that ripped me off....rather.......it means that I just can't figure some of the puzzles or levels out. You have to realize that you cannot beat every game, unless you are a genius.
Have you ever bought anything that after you tried it, you thought to yourself, hmmmmm that may not have been such a good thing to get after all???
Ever bought a product from an infomercial and then saw that it wasn't as easy as it was made to look on the tv? You get 60 free minutes to try games out here.
If you were so unhappy with it after that time, then why buy the game?????
I hope you will think about what I said.

Good grief! First of all, STOP YELLING! Second, yes, I have beaten this game (I think I've played to the end twice, I know for certain once) so it is in fact, beatable. It's like any other match 3 game, timing, skill and luck. Calm down, you're raising your blood pressure over a game!

I totally agree...I have been playing this game for 6 friggin months!!!!!! Have not been able to get past Level 6....I get to 6-8 ....6-9...then....BLAHHHHHHHH back to 6-1....over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.,,,,GET I!!! Its a loop....can't win this game...!!! Despite the claims of these so called people who have won it...
What did you win???????

Hello All - Yes, you can get to the end of this game. I have many, many times. Think directionally - Try moving a piece sideways and shoving it off on a short column rather than moving it downward in a long column. On some grids, try moving all the pieces to the next to last row and then shovel them all off at once. Work short columns and columns with tools first on each grid. On grids with a lot of locks, get most or all pieces lined up with the locks - then use your tool to break locks all at once. To help visualize combinations, make a paper-pencil set of diagrams with the various threesoms you can make - pay special attention to making diagrams for pieces that start out flush against a side wall - also, try to move such pieces away from the wall to increase the number and variety of combos you can make. Occasionally, it helps to move a piece out of the way and "park" it on a block (I mean by this a square that cannot be played) while you move close-by pieces off the grid. Just be careful not to do this too close to the end of your time. Occasionally, I hammer a bonus point just to get rid of it and not have to keep trying to move it around and out of the way in order to break a lock. Lastly, try a different way of looking at the grid - see the entire grid as a unit instead of focusing exclusively on a small section - focus on the colors rather than the images. Above all - have fun.

Atlantis Quest...level 8 Drolton. I cannot get pass that level what do I do?

I apprecite your advice and will give it a try as far as moving things around but when it comes to getting out paper and pencil and making grids? - well, I don't want to play it that badly - I have been struggling through the end of level 6 and finally made it to 7 and have been playing over and over and over and I am going to give it up cause it is just ridiculous - I wrote to the programmers and developers of the game and told them that a big part of the game is a reward system and when you get to the higher levels there are none - fun turns to frustration, and the reason I play all these games is for relaxation and fun - if I want to be that frustrated I can go to work!!!!! I love a challenge and love being able to think things through and figure things out but the time limits on this game do not give me a chance to do that. Disappointing!!
