Dale Hardshovel HD

It is a broken remake piece of **** of a 5? year old game. Contrary to the gameplay video your timer counts down from a set number and when it reaches 0 you lose, good luck finishing a level where you have 2 minutes and the (old) youtube walkthrough takes 3:55. Maybe it is a difficult setting but that doesent matter since there are no options (that work) There is a way to finish each level thou... you can still move the objects around if you pause the game... but that is not a "feature" i praise. request refund immediately

Even for the cheap price, there are better puzzle games out there. The interface is a bit clunky, and it doesn't run nearly as smoothly as it should, given how simple it is. On the plus side, it did provide for AHA moments on occasion when you solved a puzzle that had you stumped for a bit. Some of the puzzles pretty much require you to pause the game, though, since pausing doesn't stop the platforms from moving and it's the only way to beat the level within the time, and definitely the only way to beat some levels with 3 stars. All in all, while cheap, it certainly feels the game should be better done, and like it wouldn't take too much effort to get it there, so I'd call this one a pass.

Dale Hardshovel HD is a pretty good puzzle game, needs bit more polish with graphics but the puzzles are very challenging which will keep you thinking. You only need a mouse to play this game and its very easy to manoeuvre the puzzles. Would recommend it to people who like puzzle games as it can keep you busy for hours on end.

[h1]- Review below ----------------------------------------------------------------------[/h1] Dale Hardshovel HD is the remastered edition of Dale Hardshovel, mostly the graphics and the additional worlds are different. And levels have not changed. This game is a matching game, the aim is to clear all items of a level by matching twins or trios of the same item in a limited amount of time. It remembers me this kind of game, he it's not that one, on the first mobile phone with a color screen. The mechanisms of the game are easy to learn and master, some levels are really challenging. There are also some environments to be aware of or to use, such as: weak blocks, sticky black oil, moving spikes, portals, magnet... (*): There is only one main glitch that is required in order to finish some levels. In one level you need to pause the game while using a moving platform to save time. Without doing that, you are always running out of time. This is still a great game to play, and I recommend to use my guide if needed to finish the game or getting the achievements.

[h1]Халтура и не более[/h1] В этой игре необходимо убрать одинаковые предметы с игрового поля. При этом игра весьма неплохо смотрится, но наличие багов и недоработок ставят на нет старания разработчиков (если были таковые). [h1]Что же есть в этой игре:[/h1] 1. 100 уровней, поделённые на 4 главы. В добавок не так давно добавили 15 уровней на тему хэллоуина и рождества. 2.1. Лифты. Сама по себе идея вполне годная, однако недоработанная: на некоторых уровнях можно увидеть, как поставив предмет прямо на этот самый лифт, он просто уезжал за пределы экрана и больше никогда не возвращался ([url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761853959]пример[/url]). Не везде, но такое крайне неприятно видеть. Между прочем, поведение лифтов тоже немного сомнительное, поскольку на один такой лифт нельзя поставить больше одного предмета - второй просто будет уничтожен и не важно одинаковый к нему летит или нет. Результат один - рестарт. 2.2. Не всегда нахождение одинаковых предметов вблизи даст необходимый результат. В качестве [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761849992]примера[/url]. Такое не только с телепортом, но также с лифтом. 2.3. Достижения. Всё бы ничего, но и здесь ляпы есть: для получения всех надо пройти много уровней на 3 звезды. Некоторые из них пройти невозможно, если только мы не воспользуемся паузой, при помощи которой те же самые лифты будут всё ещё передвигаться вверх и вниз. Почему же в прохождение на 3 звезды не включён был этот момент? Непонятно. Иногда же наоборот, даётся достаточно много времени и в этом случае вопрос возникает в этих самых звёздах. 2.3.1. Прохождение на 3 звезды. Я уже описал этот момент, однако хочу обратить внимание на баг, который вас заставляет ждать до конца появления всех 3 звёзд и только тогда выходить в меню/продолжать дальше: нажимаете рано - больше 1 звезды не ждите. Даже если у вас их 3 было. 2.4. Кнопочка Play и подсказки. Первая же просто долго реагирует и это весьма странно, ведь другие же пункты работают как надо и вовремя отвечают. А вот подсказки по всей видимости планировали ввести, но кнопка эта некликабельная (на уровнях которая) и её наличие под вопросом. [h1]Вердикт:[/h1] Кроме как обыкновенной лажой эту игру особо и нечем назвать. Не рекомендую.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Головоломка. 100 уровней + бонусные тематические (рождество и хэллоуин). На каждом уровне нужно уничтожить все кубы. Делается это путем их сближения... Как только 2 или 3 куба встречаются вместе - они взрываются. Вот и пилим в голове схемы как все уничтожить, да еще и сделать это как можно быстрее, ведь таймер отвечает за количество получаемых звезд. Игра очень затянула и очень понравилась. До этого такой идеи не встречал и не смог остановиться пока не прошел все уровни. Рекомендую.

Dale Hardshovel HD is a good puzzle game. The controls are simple: you move the artifacts horizontaly with the mouse. You need to match the artifacts, in pairs of 2 or 3 artifacts, in the given time to be able to complete the level. A little more info about matching: for the matching to count they have to be next to each other in a "stay" position...if you swipe an artifact over more artifacts and there is one of same model under it won't count as a match. Also if an artifact is on the moving platform and another of same time on the ledge near the moving platform when they will be next to each other it won't count as match. The complexity of levels differ based on the things you'll find in them: from movable blocks that will help you to get over holes, spikes that will destroy your artifacts, blocks which dissapear after you passed them a number of times to teleporters, moving platforms(which can't keep more than one artifact at a time), magnets and switches. As a side note, for long play sessions the soundtrack may become a bit annoying because it gets repetitive.

This is a real puzzle game. It is simple in mechanics, but some levels really make you think.

Very simple puzzle game, controled by only one input: swiping a finger across the screen

This review is going to focus more on the developer than on the game itself. I have been adding games to steam lately from older Indie Gala bundles and started noticing that I was getting duplicated keys for games from this developer. Noticing in several discussions for each of the games that others were having similar issues and posting about them, I decided to add the developer just to ask about the situation and what was going on. The developer actually accepted my friend request and I sent a message asking about why this was happening and with multiple games. They then removed me from their friend list with no contact or explanation what so ever. It seems to me the better way to address this would be to point the customer in the right direction to fix the issue or at least explain that it has been quite some time since the bundle was released, so we decided to shut off all inactivated keys. I wouldn't be happy with this answer but at least they would have given me some explanation. So I leave this review here with hopes it will save someone looking at this from creating a giveaway for these games only to find out the dev has shut down keys. I can tell you there were 3 games from 3 different Indie Gala bundles that all came back duplicated at this point. I'm not quite sure I understand why game developers would do this and then completely ignore the customer afterwards. They have to know we will stop buying games from them if they steal from us.
