Hi everyone, well I am here for two reasons. One, I am trying to get the sticker for posting in all of the Forums and sub-forums. Two, I think that Align 4 should have a difficulty setting for it. As currently the AI is way to hard and is unreal how it predicts your moves so well. It also using trapping moves to get you to put your ball in a certain place. I too would like to see a gold count system put in place to show your game gold count. So you know when you have maxed out your game gold.

Mute button for Brickworks Pleaaaaaaaase!
Could you guys add a instant drop button for ernya tetris.
Usually its space bar for fb tetris and other online tetris games
I've noticed that the fastest drop is the down button
but that still takes time.
I want a button where you could press it
and the block drops down instantly instead of moving down please

Almost all of the gripes I have are already listed, but I'd like to point them out anyhow.
-Mute game option <Two reasons: Lag and sanity
-Undo/redo move button <For solitaire. Perhaps make it add time to the clock, which will decrease the score/gold received?
-Difficulty slider for games [easy, normal, difficult etc] <To make it more balanced, reduce the points/gold received from easy; normal the same, except for Align 4 which seems to be on difficult right now >>; difficult is increased.
-Current score keeper for Brick Works <Not that important, but it would be nice.
-More Games|Chess|Pacman|Old Maid|Uno card games|Word Games[Scrabble, text twist]|Snake|Bejeweled|Pin Ball|Scratch games[lottery]|slots |Wackamole/wackacomputer <More games are always good. :D
-Gold counter for games [ You have attained -- gold from the games in total] Very useful since the games are mostly played for gold.
-Restart button on Rank Screen <Handy.
-Limit|Control the amount of balls to be released in Brick Works. <This would be so useful to get past the higher levels. I always get tons of balls in the beginning but they end up being wasted unnecessarily. It might be this way for difficulty scaling, but it'd be cool if there was some kind of "power shot" eg: click and hold the mouse button to activate a meter that will increase the number of balls shot the longer you hold it down. Otherwise, just make it 1 click = 1 ball.
My gripes:
-No pause button on pegs or solitaire. When the counter matters to your score or winning/losing, there needs to be a pause button. A pause button on Brickworks would be handy, but each level is pretty short, so usually you can just finish the level and wait before clicking to do what you need to do. To nullify the chance of cheating the timer through pausing, just black out the screen and put "Paused, click to resume" or something in the middle.
-The difficulty of Align 4 is silly. The computer knows all the fancy moves to trap you into losing and it makes me feel super dumb all the time. /whine I actually even played it with my husband to see if we could beat the computer together. No go. D:
-The gold cap. I understand wanting to limit the generated gold, but I wonder if a decreasing gold system would be better. Some people don't want to post a lot to get gold and not everyone can draw to make money. This makes games pretty much the only alternative. What about decreasing the gold in a bell curve (starting at the peak, so it doesn't go down much at first), leveling it off somewhere around a max of 5-10gold you can get from playing a session?
This one isn't so much as a gripe as a question.
At level 10(?) of Brickworks, there is an "avoid the ball" thing. Not only does it seem impossible for you to not get hit and lose balls, but I don't see the point of it (unless the point was to get rid of the player's balls for the higher levels) since you can't "die" even if you get hit with only one ball left. So, what's the deal with ball avoiding level?

Doing half body sketch for Winter Contest Item and/or Pixie Spirit
NOW: FULL O NOES!
I have a suggestion for a new game: Jigsaw
I think this would be overwhelmingly popular, especially since its fun and laid back, rather than timed. You also can't really lose jigsaw, so instead of frustrating people, it could be like a break from the other games :)
You could use pictures of the Ernya NPCs, like the shop images or even the images that are released with the DIs.
I know puzzles have been a HUGE hit on other sites, there were honestly a few I played just because of their puzzle games xD
EDIT: ALSO better IE compatibility games, since many community places (Such as schools, libraries, work places) only support IE for browsers...

The games are actually pretty hard, especially the align 4 game. I can't beat it! So it would be nice to have a difficulty level. Though I see someone else has already suggested it... So, how about a monopoly game? I love monopoly, and if it would be illegal to use the real names, we could make them up to sound more Ernya-ish...
I've been playing Brickworks, and occasionally, on the first level it'll say "stage undefined". Sometimes you can just play through it, but other times the ball freezes and makes you lose automatically.
It's only happened to me on the first level, so I don't think it's too bad, but I just figured I'd stop in here and say something about it.

Hmm, I haven't actually played any of the games yet, I'm gunna have to give it a shot.

I agree with this, puzzles kick ass and it's nice to have something relaxing to do when there aren't many users online.
I am so relieved, after reading through this thread, that I am not the only one who feels really, really dumb trying to play some of these games. Align 4 and Solitaire are just... wow. Like I might as well give up trying to get a degree because clearly I am a moron who can't line up balls.
I LOVE the suggestions of Scrabble and Jigsaw that have been mentioned, I know Jigsaw especially I would play night and day, even after the gold cap max out.

Should deffinetly creae more games, and honestly wht the poop is up with the solitaire? -______-
Can you explain why you won't make a different Solitare? Since the game itself seems a little hard considering that the entire deck is in the game instead of most of it being in the pile.
