Congratulations for your first release. The game is a cool and original game.
I have some questions, I hope you can point me in the right way:
I see the artwork is hide in a zip file. How do you achieve that?
The profile file is saved as cso and not as a cs file, how do you achieve that?
And lastly, are you using the GUI builder for the profiles?
Thanks and good luck with the sales :)

Cool game. There's some nice twists on the match-3 theme. It seems a bit easy, and very forgiving of randomly clicking around the board, but I guess the casual game market required ease of play. Beautiful background art, it's a shame you don't have more animation going on in the backgrounds.

@ Isaac:
Sorry for the late reply. I've been on vacation. Anyway, here goes:
Zip file: Just zip the contents of your game folder and rename it to.zip. TGB automatically detects that the contents has been put in the zip file.
Profile: We store the data in a file called profiles.cs. Then we call compile with profiles.cs as parameter and deleteFile to delete the .cs file.
And last, all GUI's have been made directly in the TGB level editor and scripts - we're not using the GUI builder for any of the menus.

I especially like the way you introduce the different play concepts. I can see my daughter playing this game in a couple of years (when she's like 4 or 5)

That zip tip will be very helpful.
I have my profiles working but my file is always a cs accesible from a notepad or any other application. I will try to fix that later.
I'm doing all my GUI's directly in TGB, I believe that's easy than using the GUI builder (something really confusing to me).
Good luck with the sales.
