Liking this game so far. No problems with downloading or installing (though it did take awhile , using IE), hints are readily available, storyline is good, hidden objects aren't that hard to spot, music is good. 1 out of 3 good ones this week!
Game downloads great, and just getting started I go to open case to get oil, sugar and sugar skull and game crashes. I have tried uninstalling and running compatibility issues and games still crashes at he same point
Fair warning before you download this game. It was fun until I got to giving the snake the milk and it crashes at this point every time. I Checked forums on other sites and this is apparently a bug that needs fixing because it's happening to a lot of people.
A*****come on -- the game is half-way decent right up to the point where it crashes. I get kicked out when I unbolt the upper half of the mask. which is further along than another player got. This is getting tedious, every week a new game failure. Help.
Very glitchy. It thinks you still need to do something when you've already done it. Very tempermental--have to click in just the right spot. Graphics weren't my cup of tea, to put it kindly. Just not worth the frustration.
Another game where the scan and first part of the download is short but then it takes forever to finish. Have had problems with all the games like that. I would like games that download easily and don't take forever to finish loading.
I liked this game and had no problem with crashes. However, I am now completely stuck trying to mend a lever. The hint just tells me to do something with the mould and the ladle but I can't figure out what.
Game keeps crashing and then telling me that Twisted Origins quit working, which I aint playing to begin with. I couldn't rate this game if i wanted to. I don't know that I will be renewing subscription , this is crazy. **gf*** is sounding better all the time.
I'm stuck at a point where you make the poster and have to give it to 'MECH'. It seems it's impossible to give it to him. I tried clicking hint but it did not work. Is there any way to solve this problem or is it just another bug?
game keeps crashing won't let me finish. really want to play. this is not the only game i'm having trouble with. sent an e-mail to support team didn't hear back.
I enjoyed this game. It was just hard enough to be somewhat challenging, but I didn't have to go looking for a walkthrough to complete it. Didn't have any crashing problems. Download took about 30 minutes, but the good games are usually a longer download and I don't mind the wait. For the lever, you need to have two broken pieces of lever and melted ore to fix it in the mold. :)
It crashes for me too...please everyone send in a report about this game so that they will fix it. Every time I send in a report they just say it must be my computer and nothing gets done.
The game was fun, but some of the minigames got a little boring at times. For the person who asked about giving the drawing to Mech, you don't give it to him, you put it on the table that you got the blueprint from, to his left.
This was a really nice game. I had no technical issues. nice puzzles, and they mixed it up a bit with the HO. Interesting music. Very entertaining game.
No problems downloading or playing. Not the best game, but it is different and fun to play. Some of the mini-games are just boring time wasters, but others pretty challenging.
Took ages to download and got as far as cutting the balloons on the stall and then it crashes not once but five times I tried and always crashes at same point. Not good enough and very annoying.
Jan9902 Go out to the big, flaming guard was that fell over and it is stuck in his leg. :) I agree with some reviewers about the mini games. A few of them were just tedious, not at all challenging. But I still really liked the game!
IT took forever to download and it crashed twice but now I am stuck with preparing the alter. The hint says to use the red cloth but not where!!!! Nowhere is there a walkthrough to help me get past this one area!!
I really wanted to finish this one. I even went looking for a walkthrough to see how it ended because I can't get past the snake/milk issue. After 6 crashes and install/reinstall 4 times...I'm done. I can't get the Candy game to work either so I'm left with Dracula 5 for the week. I hope one of these games work or I'm done with this site after just 2 months. I sent the issue to support and have yet to hear back.
Willa you have to paint the statues before it will allow you to do the cloth and garland part. I too have had issues with the download time, and the crashing.
am having probs with it too.. when it quits working it calls the game,Twisted Lands: Insomniac. I get to the gate and cannot do much more... PLEASE fix the bug....
Can someone help? I don't know what to do with the broken lever in the mold. It tells me to do something with the ladle and the mold with the 2 pieces in it, but I can't figure it out. The game does keep crashing, but I keep going back to it.
Lucky you get the refrigerator handle and go the refrigerator and put the handle on and the milk is there. You can give the snake the milk. What do you paint them with. I can't find anything to paint the status!!! There is no walkthrough and I looked EVERYWHERE!!!
I had no technical problems. I thought this was a good game, The clicks were delayed a bit, sometimes I had to click an item 2 or 3 times. Map was a big help
IMO this game has a good story line, awesome graphics, was challenging! However, just like everyone else- It started to crash after the fourth/fifth character was introduced. I know it is not my computer either!
I am really getting fed up with the quality of the games. I resent paying for a service that Shockwave cannot seem to provide. If they don't get their act together soon, I for one, will not continue with my membership. Come on Shockwave, you can do much better than this!
I have the paint and it is on the alter and I have the red cloth and garland but when I try and out the paint on the alter it doesn't let me. I am about ready to delete the game. This Hidden object games are either easy and I solve them in a few hour or so difficult that I want to pull my hair out in frustration!!!!
this was the coolest game!!! every time I thought I had it figured out it would change the game!!!! SO many interesting little games. totally absorbing, I was so digging it. Definitely worthy of a part ii!!!!!!
I have the ticket, but where is the train?? There were certainly some glitches in the beginning of the game, but it seemed to get better as the game went on.
The mold and ladle go to the place where the fire Monster is. you will out put both on the fire pit. You will need the iron bar and broken lever to go into the mold. The ore goes into the ladle then you pour into the mold, the ticket goes to the guard next to where you got the ticket. You give it to him then there is some dialog and you go to a train station.
Got the same Twisted Lands Insominiac message, not the game name. And it keeps crashing a few seconds further into the scene with the molten Golem, every reboot gives you about four more seconds. It was a bit interesting until then, slow and the graphics are mediocre but at least it WAS interesting. deleting......
WOULD be a great game if not for the glitches and crashes. Got the same Twisted Lands Insominiac message. Come on Shockwave...I have been a member for years. But very tired of these awesome games (the few there are) coming out that will not play correctly.
I finally finished the game . There was a game released a few weeks with the same theme MEXICAN DAY OF THE DEAD. Only that time it was a man recusing the his girl friend and I am tired of all the vampire games. I might have to find another game site because either there are no games I want or the games are too easy.

Good game, but it keeps crashing. I've had to re-start about 100 times now. I'm enjoying the puzzles.

Loved this game. Had a small hitch after opening for the first time. Had to restart computer. No more problems after that. Graphics were very good.

Willa59401-There is a little game (I wouldn't call it a HO) in the graveyard area, next to the gate. You will get honey to make the paint.

When it crashes I noticed that it says Twisted Lands- Insomniac has quit working. That confuses me a little since its not the name of the game.

Enjoyed this game, loved the graphics and concept. Only crashed once on me but your game is saved when it happens.
