Hey Margie! The tips that I can think of off the top of my head are:1. Use the shuffle option as much as you can. It almost always works to your benefit and gets rid of the frozen pieces on the board. 2. Click on the bug at the bottom of the screen to make him run faster so your magic powers are used more quickly, and therefore have a greater chance at defeating the level.

MargieB pass the salt and pepper I am eating my words: "I think even our Genius GameGuru Margie could not do a walk through on this one", which I posted on the other discussion of this game, I should have known better SORRY! The most difficult Temple thus far is the Temple of Thot. I am even down to counting the squares against the amount of jewel pieces to try to mathematically figure out what goes where. It is a bugger.
You do get to skip when you have accumulated 3 magic points but I do not want to use them only on the second difficulty level.I wish you the best of luck and if I was more eloquent in explaining things on paper I would offer tips. The only tip I would offer along the same line as carfixer 195 is when you are running out of time and almost have solved it but need magic powers in the levels where you match the jewels, or light four or more in a row, match as many as possible even though you may not light a square up and when you have a lot of jewels on the bottom than get the bug to move fast. If you have him move fast before you load up the bottom with jewels you might run out of time for his next pass.
But carfixer is right when you are not running out of time and want to build up the magic power scale get that bugger to jog across the board.

Margie, I found the most difficult one to be the Temple of Bast. This is where you have to move the stones to make a match, but new ones appear as you do this. I can't seem to get very far. Most of the others I found not too difficult. I agree with Carfixer195's suggestions. Will post if I can think of anything else.Keri

Hey EIEIO, I didn't read that post that you are referring to but know I must hunt for it...lol.Thanks to you and Carfixer for the tips you provided.
I think I didn't get my message across on the subject line. I'm not looking for people to send me tips. I wanted to know the areas I should focus on when I write the tips based on the difficulty that some of the players were encountering in certain areas.
Thanks

The Temple of Sarkot. You have to spin the colors inside the different shapes. At least you get to do the puzzle over until you get all the colors. The Bonus Points help if you find a particular puzzle difficult. You can skip if you have enough Bonus Points. Each temple keeps track of how many you have for that temple. You cannot use them interchangeably.

The temples of Thot and Bast seem to be the most difficult. In Thot counting seems to be the best stategy so far. There are 72 different puzzle grids and the solutions are random. Scooter and I have been writing back and forth all day about that temple. It's in the forum topic The Temple Of Thot. A tip on the temple of Bast is that you get to move the token you choose to any other space on the grid as long as it is not obstructed by another full grown token. When I first started playing this temple I though you could only move one space at a time but you can move over baby tokens and clear spaces as far as you want to any space on the board, even spaces occupied by baby tokens.

The only temple where you can skip puzzles is Thot. In the other temples the Bonus points increase the power ups. There's more about that in the topic The Temple of Thot.

I see that this game seems to be difficult so it gave me an idea to ask the players some opinions. I'm going to be writing the tips and tricks for this game but it will not be until sometime next week since I have about 3 or 4 games ahead of this one.
I normally don't do this but I wanted to hear from you which areas or temples are you finding most difficult?
Is there a particular temple that is most difficult or is it something you don't understand strategy wise how to do?
I played the first stages of several temples when the game came out and I absolutely love this game.
I was thinking of doing some screenshots with the solutions of some of the temples, particularly the one that has the puzzle mode (I can't remember the name) but I do remember it being difficult at first.What do you guys think?
Thanks in adavance for your opinions.
