I downloaded ABSW II to my nook color (running Android 4.1.2) the day the free version came out. WOW. Excellent graphics, a combination of easy and difficult levels, winnable new characters, and the ability to play either the Light or Dark side of the Force.

Are there any other members that are playing this game? What do you think about it?

I told my husband about the game and he said he'd download it and try it out.

I'm working on the second version of Mahjongg from Magma Mobile....I think you're the one who told me about the original version. They came out with a newer one and I have that one now, too.

And Tetris. I've been a long, long, long-time Tetris fan, so when we found this version, we both downloaded it right away. I may have to uninstall it, though, because it keeps force-closing on me.

I just "finished" it!  I do like some of the new characters; but they take some getting used to!  I do think they did a good job making a combo of easier and more difficult levels!  It's fun to try playing from both sides too. I think I would enjoy it a bit more if I were a Star Wars fan.  I'm looking forward to new levels!

"Finished" it? Did you get all the reward coins and characters? I am trying to pace myself. I haven't finished the first section yet and have just unlocked the dark side of the second section.

There should be a new level soon. I see it has already made the number two spot on Google Play store for free games.

Oh no!  I don't have patience for all of that!  So finishing to me means I beat all the normal levels! 
  With any amount of stars!  I'll probably poke around at it more and keep playing the "extras" I did unlock; but honestly the whole "badge" thing is too much like the games on facebook.  Which got so annoying I quit playing any on there anymore.  I just don't have time for the whole spam your friends with requests things.  I think if AB did that I'd threaten to delete the whole thing.

Since I am disabled and don't have to go to a job, I have lots of time to explore all the levels. Sometimes, I just try to see what happens when I fling the character in a strange direction. I am trying to get all the collectables and alternate path maps. I have a set amount of time or levels I will play. When the battery gets to 90%, I quit and go to the other nook to continue reading one of the books on my currently reading shelf. About 9 in all.

Yesterday, I was having JarJar swing around and around a floating rock. I let him go around about 4 times before I had him let go.

I am also still playing AB original, AB seasons, AB rio, AB space, and AB star wars.  I have unfinished levels in all of them.  I don't use facebook, so can't ask for help there, either. I play Candy Crush, too. I am on level 86 and have been there for a couple of weeks. I start playing, then get more interested in trying to get chocolate bombs next to a stripey candy than winning the level.  To me, it is more like playing Solitaire or MahJongg. The satisfaction is not in the winning, it is in the pleasure I get from playing.

I have been known to tell the people who write nasty reviews that say "Make the games easier" that they should consider something less challenging, such as peek-a-boo or got your nose.

I guess they don't realize that they should be learning physics, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics from these games.  I am probably too old and remember the simple games we played as children.

Go back to the new one occasionally and try a level two times. Of course, you can download all the walkthroughs, and find out exactly how to beat each level, but I think you and I both believe that is giving up and letting someone else do our thinking for us.

Sorry about the lecture.  Pop them Piggies.

  The only hint thing I've looked up is where to find all the golden eggs in the original.  I think figuring out how to beat each level is half the fun! Seeing what reacts how.  With any game; i go through a period where I'll play for a while, then leave it for months and then pick back up again.  I had fun with mahjong over the summer and some hidden object games this spring.  Now those I like to be a tad on the easier side; as in not timed.  I was playing them while riding my exercise bike; they got my mind off how long I'd been on there quit nicely!

Yeah, I looked up where all the eggs were in Star Wars. But, knowing where they are doesn't mean I was able to get all of them yet. I play some solitaire and freecell just for a change sometimes. And when I really want a change, I have Doom and Doom II on the computer.
