Does anyone know if you will be able to download the Saq Paks (both the ones from Codeminion & those that will be user made) if you bought the game from Big Fish site rather than the Codeminion site?
I love this game but do not want to have to buy it twice for the additional levels.

Hi Helen,
From my experience additional packs tend only to be made available from the developers site. I've bought a couple of games where expansion packs wouldn't work because I'd not bought them directly from the developer however, this is not always the case. (E.g. Reflexives Ricochet Infinity and Chronic Logics Gish)
I would suggest that you contact the distributor you bought the game from and ask them about this. Also write to the developer and ask about the compatibility, explaining that you bought the game from wherever; they may either give you another version of the game (provided you can prove that you purchased a copy) or create a patch for you. If they say it should work and it turns out that it doesn't, you have enough evidence for them to give you a refund. (i.e. They said it would work but it didn't so you would be entitled to a refund. Big Fish games are a big and reputable distributor, so I doubt you'd have any hassle from them).
You could always just buy the expansions and if they don’t work ask for your money back. Most distributors do give a money back guarantee (though I've never returned a game, I have with applications and have never had a problem getting my money back.
I hope the above is of some help.
Regards
Stephen

Have it downloaded, haven't played yet, but I am a BF member and have another credit to burn, lol.
I'm just layin back waiting for AquaSphere or something good!
Game sites must go into crap in summer, just like on the tele(vision), lmao......I must have West Nile Virus from all the skeeters here, they put a bulls eye on me from a mile away!
I will give it a go though, as if I don't have enough Betas to do!

hi suki! Did you get the bite for this game from the RA evaluation? I did!
In BFG, go the the Game Club Live Chat (Mon-Fri only, see hours posted). It is in under the "My Account" tab. Ask them there... they are pretty reasonable, they may not even be aware of the Saq paks... post here after you get an answer, as I am curious as well.
Thanks!

In another forum (I am about 90% sure it was the gamezebo forum) the developer posted a message and said the first Saq pack was still being developed, so there aren't actually any out yet.
(I have finished the first 24 levels (first difficulty) in 2 temples and have reached at least 15 in the other five. The hardest temple for me is the one where you have to select a string of dots (Anubis?) and the easiest is logic one that everyone else hates.)

I had trouble getting Saqqarah purchased from Codeminion to accept the registration key so I got a refund. Then I downloaded a copy from Big Fish & it works fine. Now there is a message on Codeminion about version 1.14 which allows a relax mode & corrects some other issues of play difficulty. I checked with Big Fish & they will get this updated version in about a week. If any of you have the Big Fish version you can go to your purchase history in a week & reinstall it from that page. Codeminion also told me that Big Fish will get the Saq pak when it is completed.
I am having tons of fun with this game - staying up very late at night.

As a Big Fish Member, thanks for the post! I have a credit, have the demo downloaded, but have been to busy with Beta testing.
My question would be after Fish gets the new version, will we have to pay for the Saq pak when it is completed and given to Fish?
I have complained to Fish on some games, that require you to pay extra for the strategy guide! I bought one once and you can't even print out from it! I don't like playing "In and Out the Windows", lmao, kinda of pun!!!!!
Again thanks again for the info, Suki

My impression is that whether you get it at Codeminion or Big Fish you will have to pay for the Saq Pak that they are working on now - it sounded like it was going to be a second group of 720 levels.
Thanks for the info on how the strategy guides work - a real bummer!
I just completed the 72 Horus levels - love this game & cannot wait to get the Relax mode upgrade because most of the rest of the temples are too hard for me.

give a shout back when the new version comes out at Fish, lol, by then I will have 2 credits!
I am going to my trailer for a week or so. No internet. Maybe I will actually get to check out the Demo! You say this game is so good, now I have the itch to buy it!
Thanks again!

I have installed the new version at Big Fish & it worked fine. You will have to change your player name in order to start a relax mode. It still keeps your other levels on your first name.
Big Fish live chat person helped me with all the questions that I had. I suggest using that when you have any problems. Thanks for letting me know about the problem with Big Fish strategy guides - what a bummer.

I have completed the entire game twice - second time was much easier. First time around had to do some games on the third difficulty level multiple times to get through them. Would surely like to get the Saq Packs when they come out. Will keep in touch with this thread so I will know when they are available.

Posted in the games discussion....but didn't follow this thread. The new Saq Pak was released on September 5, and is available from http://www.saqqarahthegame.com for $9.95. It is like a new game in that there are 72 new levels in each temple. I asked Big Fish if they would have it....but they were evasive about it. At any rate....it is pretty good value for your money I think....but I am an addict. The new Pack, Monkey Monarchs has all new puzzles which are very unique and new heiroglypics. Enjoy ;)
