Based on the demo. Yes, I played the other Runefall and loved that one, so I was happy to see another. Dialog is very funny, though there is quite a bit of it. If just playing demo, skip it for now as it will eat up your game time.
Nice voiceovers, colorful gameplay. I liked that there are extra challenges to completely clear a level and you get bonuses for choosing the timed version vs. the relaxed. Can replay to get all the goodies.
I did end up purchasing today and using the hidden calendar code, so only $5.60 for CE version. If not for that, I probably would wait for the SE.
I recommend this game!

Wow! I read the reviews and was a little skeptical at first, but what everyone has said is true. I was hooked after the first 30 minutes and had to buy it.
Good, creepy music. Nice graphics that are a little unusual (Paperverse and all). Love that the dungeons are customizable for play time and rewards. Have been playing on the longest available ones and I hope I can go back and replay those that were locked into small or medium.
Have been playing for HOURS and have many more hours left to go. Really a great bargain for the money. Give it a try and finish the entire demo hour before you make a decision.
I recommend this game!

Based on what little of the demo I could get through. Very nice graphics. I liked that they had both men and women coming into the salon. You can speed up the task by clicking rapidly which was great. Looked like there were lots of opportunities to upgrade both the salon and the characters.
Sadly, I could only get thru about 35 min. of demo. It would run just fine for a level or two, then just stop working. After reinstalling and getting booted a total of four more times, I just gave up. Would have definitely considered it as a buy if not for that big flaw.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo. Nice to have a colorful, bright game instead of all the dark and gloomy ones. Played without sound.
Several different types of games to play. Couple of TM games, the first one which can become difficult as you have a sushi bar and then a dessert bar to take care of at the same time. They give you a helper, but Fuzzball is sort of jerky. If he is busy, your character cannot cover for him, you just need to wait for him to finish.
You need to play a bubble popper/fruit harvest game to gather enough supplies to hatch your new fuzzballs. Not too difficult, and soon you get a helper for this one.
Not much of a story line so far. Demo went quickly and I would say go ahead and use a credit or Deal of the Day on it.
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo, which you can play only to a certain point. The time given is generous and you can get into the story before your time is up.
I play these types of games pretty often, and the EAP titles are always excellent in quality. This one is no exception. Gorgeous voice-overs, beautiful scenery as usual.
While I get annoyed at HOAs that make you run all over and back again, this one was a little too easy. You rarely have to go back more than one screen, most objects are already in your possession when you get to puzzles. The puzzles themselves are too easy for me.
HOGs are not too easy or too hard. The whole story/screen is set darker than I'd like (but keeps with the creepy theme) so some objects are a little difficult, but never needed a hint.
Am debating on buying CE, may just wait for SE. Worth the download for sure!
I recommend this game!

Ok, I know this a "free" game, but let's face it, you are going to be bored to tears in a short while. Game starts out fun, as you complete tasks to clean up Riverdale and get new characters to help you. But pretty soon it becomes apparent that you must either have tons of patience as Archie and the gang complete a task --some require 12+ hours of real time-- or some deep pockets to make in-app puchases--soda--to finish a task faster.
Even that I could tolerate; the developers have to make a little ching, right? But take a look at the prices and costs! I don't spend that much on real soda!
I will continue to play once or twice a day for 10 minute stretches as I loved Archie as a kid, but this one will probably hit the dumpster soon...
I don't recommend this game.

In the genre of My Kingdom for the Princess and many others, only this time you are rescuing the prince. The graphics are definitely subpar in this day and age of HD. Very cute and colorful, but not very sharp. Dialog would benefit from a native English speaker.
Lots of clicking and you have to be very exact. I ended up clicking several times on the same spot to pick up the resources. Pretty easy to play, but you may have to redo a few levels to get the gold star.
At around level 15, the characters would just freeze up on occasion, necessitating a restart of the whole game. My computer is 3 years old, so it could be the machine, but I can easily play others with better graphics and more memory required.
I love these types of games, so I did purchase with a credit. If you are new to these types, I would recommend MKFTP over this one. Would be worth it as Deal of the Day or if you have an extra credit rattling around.
I recommend this game!

I've enjoyed the previous Royal Envoy releases, so I was looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint! Yes, it is very similar to the other two, but that doesn't take away from the audio and visual beauty of this game.
Snarky commentary and a new King vs. Swindler storyline make it fun and funny.
Not a lot of challenge as yet (played thru first 7 levels on demo). Hopefully that will change.
Was disappointed by the RE II CE edition, but I am so jazzed to play this one, I don't think I will wait for the SE.
I recommend this game!

I agree with several who said there is a lack of tutorial in the beginning, but it does get better! Big hint: build a storage unit ASAP, otherwise your people can collect food but it is unuseable!
Reminiscent of the different Villagers and Island games out there, but goes faster--no more waiting for hours to get those tech points!
All kinds of goals to try to meet. Some must be done in order for new ones to appear. Love that it has some match three and a fishing game, too. They really could've done even more in that vein.
Sorry to see this game end, (though it took many hours for me to finish). Ending was a little abrupt, like they were on a deadline and never finished some stuff, like you never had to buy some of the things in the shop. Hope to see a sequel soon!
I recommend this game!

Aaargh! I love TMs, but this is no fun. You can buy upgrades, but they are not permanent. Each level you must buy and apply it anew. No helpers available (at least not on the levels I got to). I got carpal tunnel from all the clicking!
Cute characters, but that's about it. There are definitely better TMs out there, especially recently. Pass on this one.
I don't recommend this game.
