Can anyone help me to figure out the runes on level 36? I love these games, but the strategy guide is no help. I really love this series but this one has me stumped.
I recommend this game!

I just find this game to be lacking "something" and to be rather boring. I cannot even bring myself to finish it, and that's pretty bad. To summarize: this game isn't fun (it is boring), the visual quality is poor, the game is boring (so not a challenge), and I could care less about the story line at all. I don't recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

Build eight majestic temples to prevent the cataclysmic end of Egypt's eighteenth dynasty as foretold in an ancient scroll in this epic Time Management game.

I really loved the first Pyramid Rising, and love the Time Builders series overall. However, this one just sucks the joy out of the game for me. As I type this, my hand aches from all the clicking. My husband walked by my screen as I was finishing all of the levels, and he commented on how busy the screen was and how much work there was to be done on each level. If you have any carpel tunnel or arthritis, this may not be the game for you.
Another issue was the story line. (Spoiler Alert) In this story line, we see that one character stole from a temple, which made the gods angry and they made another character sick as punishment, and the cat ran away (which upsets me that no one would go and search for the cat). The first round of Pyramid Rising caused me to like each character, and laugh at how silly they were. This installment makes me want to throttle some of them.
The last issue I'll bring up was the game play itself. Frankly, this game is hard on certain later levels. I don't mind hard, but I would like to have chosen a level of difficulty instead of having to plow right through the entire game without at first understanding the strategy applied to each level. For example, there were so many nomads and bandits to pay off, or barter with, it was hard to really think through moves or barter with the time ticking away. I wish there had been a casual mode so that people who are slightly OCD (yep, that's me) could analyse what the goals were for each level before beginning bartering.
Overall, I still like Time Builders, but they need to rethink some key components of their game play, or I'll demo the game and won't buy another.
I would still recommend this game, but only if fellow Fishes understood the frantic level of game play, and the toll increased clicking does on the joints.
I recommend this game!

I just found this to be a repeat of the Farm Frenzy games, and I stopped playing them at least a year ago. Perhaps this developer will come out with something new, and then I may look at purchasing another one of their games again. Overall, very boring.
I don't recommend this game.
