Do you enjoy it?

Can't claim this one (or many other games)... Already refresh (and claim) multiple times... Already sign out and sign in multiple times...
It seems your site have some bugs...

 

[GoldenJauntBizarre]

It's the same for every "freebie" here, IG was (and is) the most fucked up site

yupper, thats what happens to me a good 90% of the times i try to claim one, if you come back in an hour or so you should be able to claim it then. dont leave the page open though, close it, navigate back here later. if that doesnt work, try clearing your cache.

 

[Martin D.]

Yes, since the new site everytime if I claim a game and reload the page, I can claim it again.
And I don't find it in my library.

Added to library and downloaded just fine. I guess your success depends on how busy the server is (I got "ERROR - RETRY IN FEW MINUTES" just trying to post this comment).

I've had LightFish for several years on Steam and enjoy playing it once in a while. Some levels are (for me at least) very difficult, others not a problem, but difficulty does generally ramp up. Simple concept executed very well. Similar to Qix from back in the 80s (70s?) where you enclose parts of the screen bit by bit without getting hit by the enemies flying around. LightFish has more diverse types of enemies, each with its own way to get you.

For all those that say it's not in their library, check showcase. That's where I've seen all the dumpster freebies show up hahaha, just kidding some have been really fun, but yeah they show up in showcase.

I can't get the game to start. Tried all the compatibility modes, run as administrator, put in root directory...any ideas? Windows 10 OS.

Same. Fails silently but I see the following in Event Viewer:

Application: LightFish.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
at Spyder.Program.Main(System.String[])

I emailed Eclipse Games about Lightfish not working (and included all the details in the comments here) and their reply was "LightFish is a very old game and we're not supporting it any more. I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.". I guess we're screwed then....

Thanks for following up. Guess we got what we paid for
It's also available on Steam (and probably has a proper installer) if we really want it.
