Hi Folks,
Well AstroSlugs is now available and Mr. Bill is exhausted. Story is cute, but not the emphasis of this game. It is the solving of many, many diabolical puzzles. I had to print some out and cut out the pieces so I could watch a football game and slide pieces around until I finally got it. I solved five or six of them this way.
The developers, BitBarons, now realize that most players would like to have an option for hints available in a game. I have taken pictures of all the levels before and after, so if you want a hint, just email me telling me the name of the puzzle and region it is in (woods, desert, mountains, polar cap) and the kind of hint you want (one piece filled in or one kind of shape filled in or complete solution (your choice). I sent my pictures to the developers who will be putting them up as well, but they will be giving the complete solution only. They hope to incorporate a hint system later on.
I should add that there is a 30 minute Demo available also to see if you like it.
BTW: The music is fun.
Enjoy!
Mr. Bill
