A new update to Puzzle Galaxies has been made to handle a 'black screen' bug with various Windows 10 installations of Puzzle Galaxies.

If after playing Puzzle Galaxies (and the update has been applied, which should be automatic), and you still experience a 'black screen' issue, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling Puzzle Galaxies and see if that fixes the issue for you.

If this still does not fix the issue for you, you may want to manually change the commonConfig.xml to "D3D" mode. For older versions of Puzzle Galaxies, this is set to "OpenGL" mode.

You can visit the following URLs below to read instructions on how to do this:

Also note - it is possible that for some users (although probably rare), that the new version of Puzzle Galaxies will 'not' work, but the old version did. If this is the case, then follow the instructions in the above URL(s) to set the DisplayDevice to "OpenGL". You will have to do this after installing/updating Puzzle Galaxies.

Dear Puzzle Galaxies Gamers,

With Puzzle Galaxies now reaching the 3 year anniversary mark, I felt it was time to create a 'Strategy Guide' for Puzzle Galaxies!

In particular, the strategy guide includes a hint on how to beat some of the later levels (the ones with the safe).

Feel free to check it out! The strategy guide can be found at the following URL:

http://www.evermoregamestudios.com/puzzle-galaxies-strategy-guide/

Note that at the time of writing there is only one tip in the guide :) But I will try and add more tips as time goes on!

As usual feel free to reach out to me if needed at jeffmoretti@evermoregamestudios.com

Thanks!

Dear Puzzle Galaxies Gamers,

I have read some other reviews, and first let me say, my apologies for not having sufficient help guides/documentation, tutorials, etc. to let people know of certain features. I realize now that could have been a really big help.

I guess the next best thing is.....well.....to send out this announcement :)

So here it goes:

UNLIMITED TIME MODE:

Some players may find the game to be much more enjoyable (and challenging) to have to play it so that there is no timer at all, and trying to 'minimize' the number of moves as much as possible. This feature does exist - if you go into the settings menu, you will see an "Unlimited Time" button. Enable this button (by clicking on the hexagon on the left of it), and the game will no longer have a time limit.

The two nice things about unlimited time mode is one, you don't have to worry about dying, and two, you can challenge yourself to see if you can win a level with as few moves as possible.

Note also that in Unlimited Time Mode, the Time bonus value will be zero for every level.



Hope this helps :) Again, apologies for not documenting this elsewhere, I will have to make sure any future games I develop will have better documentation!


Kind regards,

Jeff Moretti

Dear Puzzle Galaxies Gamers,

I have been reading a few of the reviews I have been getting, and I think I should address 2 main issues that I have read about often, and that can be easily remedied with the current version of Puzzle Galaxies.

Please read below:

WINDOWED MODE

There is actually two ways you can set the game to windowed mode. One is to press Alt+Enter while playing the game, and from there you can go into the settings menu and set the resolution to whatever resolution you wish. The other is to manually edit the commonConfig.xml file and set resolution to desired resolution and fullscreen to 0 (ie zero) - you can read the discussion "Resolution?" by 'raixel" for more info on how to do that.

SMALLER WAIT TIMES

Hate waiting for the score to roll up? So do I to be honest :) I thought this would be an obvious one, but if you click the mouse it should tally up the scores instantly. If for some reason this is NOT the case, please let me know, I'll try and fix that one if it is not working.

NOTE: I did notice with the score roll up that it will NOT work if the mouse is off of the screen. But otherwise, it should work


Hope this helps, and happy gaming! :)
