The game was fine and I had no real complaints, until it abruptly ended way too soon.
I wish I had not paid full-price for this one. Disappointing.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the Demo, or tried to, but soon found out that the Hint button is useless. It will just keep pointing to an active area, even though you don't have what you need, yet. And it doesn't point to areas where you can actually do something.
I've never run across such a bad Hint system in my many years of playing these games. Very frustrating and not worth my time or money.
I don't recommend this game.

This game takes a little getting used to, but once you do, you are off and running, having a great old time!
It's the best Time Management game I've played in quite a while, with features that are completely original and addicting.
I really hope they continue with this series. In the meantime, I'll be replaying this one on a regular basis.
I recommend this game!

Way Too Much Dialog and Interruptions to Game Play

You start out playing a level, with dialog at the beginning, then more dialog half-way through, then dialog again at the end of the level.
I wanted to just PLAY. Not be constantly interrupted.
There was really no strategy or thinking involved. The game kept telling you what to do next.
Not much fun, in my book.
I don't recommend this game.

I can't believe how many good reviews there are for this game. I found it to be a boring waste of time.
You just keep doing the same things over and over again.
If you want a mindless way to kill some time, this one might fit the bill, but for anyone who wants an engaging, challenging game, this isn't it.
I don't recommend this game.

How refreshing to find a game with this much originality! Superior graphics, unique settings, fun puzzles, and a creepy (but not gory) vibe make this one a winner.
I didn't want it to end!
I recommend this game!

I bought this because it looked like a fun variation on the "clear-the-road" type games. However, having now played the entire thing, this turned out to be a disappointment.
There is basically only one route you can take to move through each level, so very little strategy or thinking-ahead is required. The only challenge involved is how quickly you can do it. Not my idea of fun.
Another annoyance: the levels are broken down into two or three sub-chapters. So you'll have, like, Level 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3.
Problem is, if you want to restart Level 15.3, it takes you back to Level 15.1 and you have to start over from there.
Storyline: suitable for children, maybe, but there's way too much dialog and childish fantasy elements for most adults wanting to play a good TM game.
And the storyline is constant! Every single level starts with some inane dialog between characters that bored me to tears, and wasn't important in solving the upcoming level.
I really wish I had passed on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Hard to believe some of these rave reviews. This game consists of nothing more than going to the same few place and clicking on the same types of items over and over again.
There is no strategy involved, you don't even have the fun of placing buildings or even building them, really. The game just keeps telling you how much of a certain resource you need for the next building, you go click on the resources, and the game does the rest.
"Colossal" waste of time.
I don't recommend this game.

I was enjoying this game well-enough, but was extremely disappointed to find it only has 30 levels. I was able to get three stars on all but one level on the very first try.
There could have been a number of different challenges that were not presented, Had there either been additional levels, or had the 30 levels been truly challenging, I would have recommended this one for sure.
But as such, I can't. It had everything going for it, the makings of a very good TM game, but they seriously dropped the ball by making it too short and/or too easy.
I hope this developer will take the bones of this game and come out with something similar that is truly challenging and worth the purchase price.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the first game I've played in quite a while that felt worth the money.
Everything is nicely done, not too many HOS, 14 chapters, and if you don't rush, you can play for a good 5-6 hours or maybe longer.
Overall, a satisfactory gaming experience.
I recommend this game!
