i was so happy to see Rescue Team back on the job. I played in the hard mode, and let me tell you, it is a challenge to get 3 stars. I love games that challenge my mind, and this one doesn't disappoint.
I don't like "strategy" games where I can get 3 stars on the first try. To me, that isn't strategy, that is just clicking along to pass time. There were levels on this game where I had to replay it several times before attaining the 3 stars. At times, I was ready to give up, but that is not my nature. At 72 years young, I like games that encourage my brain cells; it keeps me "young" and alert.
The good thing about this game is that one can choose the easy mode which will give one plenty of time to complete the level with 3 stars. I like the challenge.
If you like a challenge (and some level of frustration) this game is for you. The satisfaction of reaching 3 stars makes the frustration worth it, IMHO. Wish more TM/Strategy games were more on the line of Rescue Team ;)
I recommend this game!

I am thoroughly enjoying this game. With everything going on in the world today, I find this to be very relaxing. It gives my over stressed mind a break.
I don't expect the final picture to a Rembrandt; it's pixels. Once you've completed a picture, go back out and look at the finished product. Some are pretty good; a couple look like pixels. Oh wait!! They are pixels!
Although strategy and time management games are my favorite, it is nice to take a break and just click and color :)

After playing the recent Adventure game, this one is a piece of cake. The items are easy to find, the puzzles are easy to solve. If you want an easy, relaxing game, this is for you. For me, it was a waste of money.
I don't recommend this game.
If you are a virtual bird but love adventure too, this game is just for you.

I made it all the way to Mount Everest only to find that the "peace signs" are no where to be found. The same thing happened in the Adventure Trip: London. Made it to Tower Bridges, and only 1 crown to be found. Without collecting all of the peace signs, you cannot open the extra levels. This is beyond frustrating!!!
Two games by the same developer, and they put out a game with missing required items!!!
Up until I discovered this gross negligence on the part of the developer and their quality control, I enjoyed both games. I love the challenge of finding all the necessary items and looking for the hidden objects.
Lesson learned. I won't buy another game from this developer!!
I don't recommend this game.

I have to admit that I let early reviews sway my downloading this game. But, desperate times call for desperate measures. After replaying a number of my favorite TM games, I decided to give this game a try.
How anyone can give this game less than at least 4 stars is beyond me. This is one of the best, most challenging TM games I've encountered in quite a while. And, to me, well worth the money.
It has taken me several days, at the "challenge" level to get 3 stars on levels 1-6. Have just started levels 7. And, man on man, the challenge is definitely there!!!
I don't care too much for games where I obtain 3 stars quickly, or with no challenge. This game challenges me on both strategy and time. I have had to resort using videos on that u tube sight to figure out strategy, and even then, it took me several tries to obtain 3 stars. Quite satisfying once I was able to get the 3 stars, and admittedly, frustrating at times.
But, isn't that what a good TM should be? Shouldn't we have to struggle to get the stars? If not, then why not just play without the timer (not saying one shouldn't enjoy playing w/out the timer; just saying, I like the challenge).
All that said, I am truly enjoying this game and that it is helping me through this self-quarantine time. Big thanks to the developer for challenging my brain, and helping me forget the situation we are all facing at this difficult time.
I recommend this game!

I was so happy to see our Incredible Dracula make a return visit to BFG. Didn't even hesitate to purchase. Have to say, I was really disappointed in this latest game.
Takes no challenge whatsoever to get 3 stars in normal mode. There is quite a bit of challenge in the hard mode to the point it takes away from even trying.
I do love this series, I really do. But, it is not the Incredible Dracula of days gone by. I understand the need to cut costs in programming/development of time management games, thus this series stopped doing Collector's Edition a few games past. But, one of the things that made this series so successful was the challenge but not to the point of almost being impossible. And, I miss looking for the "hidden objects" on each level.
I recommend the game but only because TM games are so few and far between, and it does pass the time. I am hoping the developers will bring back some of the past features that set this TM game apart from all the others ;)
I recommend this game!
Painting has never been easier! No need to stress about what color to choose, just relax and enjoy!

When I saw this game, I thought it would be boring. But, I was wrong.
Is it as exciting as a TM game? No. Is it as challenging as one of the many hidden object mysteries? No. You find the spaces that are numbered and click on the corresponding number on the color chart.
But, I found this a very relaxing and fun escape from the other types of games. I am thoroughly enjoying this. And, the music is relaxing as well.
Wouldn't mind seeing more like this.
I recommend this game!

I was so happy to see Moai VII as the game of the day! Have always enjoyed playing this series, and this latest game doesn't disappoint.
There are a few different things from previous games. Such as gathering emeralds one uses to move faster and increase resources. You can also use emeralds to spin a wheel in order to obtain more emeralds or other resources.
The usual building of resource buildings are still present as well as the ability to upgrade them in later levels.
The only slightly annoying thing is the wait for each level to load, but other than that, I am enjoying this game as much as the previous games in this series.
Oh, and another small disappointment is that it isn't a Collector's Edition. But, what the hey … the game is fun and challenging. Things I look for in a enjoyable time management game.
Looking forward to moving forward and obtaining gold stars to the end!!
I recommend this game!

I have to admit, when this first appeared as the game of the day, I only played a couple levels and felt it was not for me. However, after seeing the reviews, and not having a TM game available I had not already played, I decided to give it another try. And, I am happy I did!
I agree with previous poster that what may seem an easy game at first, the challenge became more challenging as it moved to later levels.
I was pleasantly surprised that a game came out w/out being a Collector's Edition and had 50 levels, some of which had to be played 4-5 times before determining the strategy to obtain 3 stars. I enjoyed searching for the owls on each level, and the "Wanted" tab shows the owls found and those not found so that you could go back to the level to find the missing owl.
The levels to shoot the bad guys before they shoot you was a fun exercise. I still have not been able to get close to 3 stars on the last of those levels, but it is fun trying.
If you like TM games, I honestly think you will enjoy this game.
I recommend this game!

I love time management games, so I am always happy to see one offered on BFG. This is definitely one I could have passed.
While it gave me something to do as I've already played most of the TM games, I would not have purchased the CE.
The game is really easy, and I mean easy. The timer is very generous and one would have to be really novice not to be able to get 3 stars on every level. There were only 2-3 levels where I had to replay to get the 3 stars.
I played the entire game and the 10 bonus levels. If bonus levels are not important to you, then wait for the standard game to be released.
If all you want is something to pass the time, then this game is for you. If you are looking for a challenge, give it a pass.
