This game, for me, is okay at best.
The visual effects are good, but otherwise I found the sound effects a little irritating. I found the shuffling of the people crafting irritating, and my cat got annoyed at the sound effects of the cat on the game! LOL.
The game play is okay, but I felt it got hard-ish quite quickly, so I dread to think how annoyed I would get as the game went further on.
I found it a little clicky, in that there was too long a time between clicks if you wanted two items, ie: you had to wait a second to click again.
Overall, I just don't really like it. Enjoyed the demo, but it's not a buy for me, especially as it's a CE, so twice as much! NO thanks!!

I love Tower Defence games, but this is truly awful!
There is very little instructions, but a little help tab on the home page. When the game starts, a pop-up pops up with what the monster is and you. But it would not then come off the screen and I couldn't play any of my defence, I clicked literally everything. It eventually went and I managed to destroy a couple of enemies, but you're expected to remember what kills what. The a flying thing came, which I could do nothing about, as I had no idea what would kill it, but I had no money anyway. Once you click a defence, you've bought it, but there is no on-going help, so you're expected to remember what every weapon does against every creature.
Was looking forward to this game, but disappointed is an understatement, truly awful.
I don't recommend this game.

Firstly, I was gobsmacked by BF giving us TM game after literally weeks and weeks of nothing but HOG and M3.
I enjoyed this one straight away. It's not just a click-fest and you have to think logically where to build next. It's not an easy game as the levels develop, and I have had to start a couple of levels over again.
The graphics are only okay, as they seems a couple of years out of date and could be a bit better, but overall acceptable. The sound effects ("Aye Aye Captain") are mildly amusing.
Overall, a very good TM game. I hope there are sequels.
I recommend this game!

Strange old game, but I think I like it!
I'd say this was a puzzle-type TM game, rather than just a straight-forward TM.
It isn't the easiest of games, in fact, as you move on it gets quite tough. I have found it's better to play the different levels at each stage, as it's easier and you can gain more XP's to upgrade.
It's nice to have a TM game that isn't just a click-fest, and needs some thought. It's not a timed game, but you have a set number of moves, so you do have to think where to go next and to remember to time it right to get the extra moves.
I just wish the upgrades were easier to get! ie: you got more XP's per level. However, now that I'm am playing earlier stages, but at the different levels, this seems to be improving that.
Overall, an enjoyable TM game that is a bit different from the same old format and a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

It's okay. But how can the CE price be justified? I enjoyed my free hour, and waited a few days for the "regular" version to come out, but it hasn't, and there was an offer on, so I bought it.
I don't know why. The game is okay, another standard TM game, but twice the price.
It's just the usual build this and collect that situation. The graphics are quite good, but the "dung, dung" when the garden/sawmill/whatever, needs water/sun, is annoying, as it's often one after the other after another, and lends zero to the game.
TBH, I don't know why I even bought it with the offer. It's another lazy TM game, like most others seem to be. Boring and repetitive. Sadly, the very few TM games we get seem to be like this.

I can't decide about this game:
Pros:
It's a time management game for once!
It's easy to understand how to play.
It's fun-ish.
It does have a little skill in that you have to think what to build first.
Cons:
The graphic colours are gawdy and look like a vivid eye-watering kids game.
The characters have voices which sound like a cross-between Gollum on speed and Mr Bean.
It's just another game to stop TM-enthusiasts thinking all BF do is HOG games.
It is just a click-fest, really. Not as bad as soon, but still.....
I did enjoy my free hour, but I haven't decided if I want it yet. I may get it when I get my "free" game token that I pay for every month.

Only just found this game and glad I did!
Enjoyable puzzle game, this is like a M3 game, but not. It's more of a puzzle/logic game. You have to combine elements together and they grow bigger.
The instructions aren't particularly clear, and sometimes it appears you can combine two together, but then the next time you can't. A visit to the forum for help clarified the reason!
The graphics are lovely, with nice colours and sparkles without being offensive to the eye or childish. The sound effects are slightly confusing at times, which goes with what you can and can't move, but otherwise, when you get it right, the sound effects are quite nice.
I turned the music off immediately, but I do on all the games as they're rarely sound decent and are often distracting or irritating.
Overall, an enjoyable game, after the constant tedium of HOG/M3 that are essentially all the same. This game is different......once you get used to the unclear, weird rules, and was a definite buy after the free hour for me.
I recommend this game!

Enjoyable from most "Match 3" games, which are mostly all the same, with a slight variance.
You throw blocks which eliminate groups of three or more.
This game has great graphics, a kind of "3D" effect, (but not the annoying jerky kind of 3D) with nice sounds effects.
There are different types of game in one, but they are essentially the same, some more challenging than others. Although there aren't that many levels, once you finish one, you can continue to gain points as the game starts at the beginning level again, and you can try and beat your previous score (and you also get less time). There are also different ones to try.
Enjoyable, as it's different to the usual M3 games.
I recommend this game!

I enjoy the simplicity of the graphics, but this game is either far too easy on "easy" level or impossible on medium.
I only bought it, as it was on offer, but wish I hadn't bothered. Think I had a absent-brain moment. Especially as you can get it free on your PC or on the internet.
I don't recommend this game.

Weird. Very few instructions, and nothing in the way of telling you the goal. And suddenly <poof> I'm dead.
Anyway, I worked it out.
The graphics are simple and the concept is okay.
It's okay, but I got bored after 10 minutes. It reminds me of countless games you can get all over the internet for free.
Pay for it? No thanks!!
