Dale Hardshovel HD

The Dev seems to have abandoned their games and keeps selling to monetize from them without fixing their issues. Quite a profitable scam...

The story is about Dale Hardshovel, an Australian archaeologist. While working in his study, he gets a visit from his daughter (Daisy). She has an old roll of papyrus that needs to be translated for her exhibition. The papyrus intrigues Dale, who then checks his archaeologist-network and discovers that the inscription is the belonging of an ancient brotherhood from Egypt. The only key to the translation is the mysterious Bloomstone. Now, the problem is that the secret is hidden in the Big Pyramid, guarded by Anubis, an ancient Egyption deity. Dale has to solve 100 puzzles and to collect all the missing pieces of the Bloomstone. He will discover that there is much more to the challenge when getting further on his quest. The aim of the game is to match items together to make them disappear. When all items are gone, you progress onto the next level. I tried it a few times and must say that it requires a lot of thinking and pondering to solve the puzzles. Fortunately there is a hint-system in place if you are really stuck. 🙂 Some of the more recently released match-three (and similar) games are easier than this one, but for those looking to twist their brains a bit, thinking of how t…

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Like many Unity games on Linux, this is clunky. The main problem is that mouse clicks often don't register. When timing is critical, such as getting a block onto one of the "elevator" platforms, that is fatal. I often have to make multiple attempts to get a block onto the moving lift, all while the timer is ticking down. This game may well work flawlessly under Windows, but don't sell it as Linux-compatible if it isn't! I've given up in frustration and un-installed it.
