Hi Bunnie, hmmm, somethings definitely wrong as mine saves every time I play. When you open the game up do you get a screen with a small central window that says would you like to start a new game or continue old one? If the answer is yes, make sure you click on the Old button. If the answer is no, make sure the games main folder is situated in your game folder a sopposed to Program files (x86). If it is in the Programs folder, copy the whole folder and paste it into your games folder. If you don't have a games folder. If you've downloaded previous game giveaways you should have, but if not, create one in the root directory (i.e. C:); or preferably (if you have a second hard drive), create the games folder on the secondary hard drive.

Also see if the game is being played with admin priveledgers by right clicking on the games executable (or shortcut). If it isn't make sure you check the play as admin check box (it should be near the top of the right click menu, but if not, right click on the games exe or shortcut and select properties then compatibility. from there look to near the bottom of the window and check the admin box.

I hope it works for you. :)

Thanks GMMan. Not seen you around much recently; either here or on Steam. I presume exams are looming? good luck.

This is not in reference to just level 45 but to the whole game of Fairy Arkanoid. Can someone please tell me if there is a way to save after playing the game? I got all the way up to level 44 I think it was and when I closed the game and went back in later to play I had to start from the beginning and now every time I play then want to stop I always have to start from the beginning. I am new to this Forum and couldn't find where to post a new topic.. this right here is all I could find to ask my question. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks GMMan. I appreciate the work. I'll be sure to mention this workaround in my next review just in case some of those who had problems don't visit the forums.

As per request of WhiteRabbit, I've investigated the problem with Fairy Arkanoid's level 45. I think the problem is a combination of block-add bonuses and level design. I've changed the level a bit and it seems that it works. So here's the workaround.

1. Open up the levels.xml file under the xml folder in your Fairy Arkanoid program folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Gambana\Fairy Arkanoid\xml) with a text editor, such as WordPad.
2. Scroll to the section that starts with "<level id="45">". In the "<blocks>" section, find the 4th row (delimited by the | character).
3. Find the 0 and the 9, and swap them places.
4. Save the file.
5. When playing the level, avoid block-add bonuses. Sacrifice a paddle if you have to.

This should hopefully work. If there are many people who report that this works, the I'll file a report with Gambana.

Cheers,
GMMan

One more thing: If you want to skip the level:

1. Get a .sol (Flash Shared Object) editor.
2. Open the file "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\randomcharacters\localhost\FairyArkanoid_Data.sol".
3.Change the value to 46 in the following keys:
\players\playername\nLevel
\players\playername\nLevelsWithoutLoose (not sure if you need to change this one; mine was 0)
Change the value to 45 in the key:
\players\playername\nFairySaved
4. Save.
5. The game should allow you to continue on level 46.
