I am a real softie for that kind of games, and this one didn't disappoint me: I loved the graphics and the animation, lots of attention to details and the challenges were quite hard.
I think the game would benefit from some changes regarding the chance factor, in some levels you just need a dragon to fire one specific building to prevent you from getting gold on numerous occasions and it doesn't seem fair if you planned your building right, so I would suggest for the developers to take that into account for future games.
Also maybe introducing new challenges for extra points on some levels that if you have time to do would be a nice addition and that if you do not have time to do would not interfere with the gold stars :)

Surely that game is a rough diamond!
Like some of the other people commenting, I was unsure that the demo would do anything for me....and I am so glad i have been proven wrong.
Forget the horrible graphics for the characters and ignore the story, just enjoy the pure challenge of playing this building time management.
I was hooked in no time an bought the game straight away....and it is worth every penny.
Smiling at last with a BigFish game this year! Thank you BF team....could we have some more please?

The end of the demo left me with a sadden face, and the definite impression of time wasted: I have enjoyed some of the previous games in that series and I cannot really find either something great to say about the game nor something really bad.
Visually it is ok...ish, navigation is ok, story line is ok, mini puzzles are really too simple.
It left me with the impression of "Sigh!....Done it, got the T-shirt".
I was expecting some more from the developers and BigFish, I think the expression is "money for old rope".

That is what I call value for money:
good story line, lots of inventive challenges and characters, great navigation, gorgeous graphics...I would have liked the mini puzzles to be more challenging but at least they were above average.
I would strongly advise Beginners and Intermediate level players to get that game, the Expert level players might find it a bit too predictable for their liking.
I particularly enjoyed the animation and graphics, fantastic work quality by the developers, could we have some more please?

I am so pleased I have purchased this game, as most of you know, I am a bit of a "blasée" old biddy when it comes to HOS mixed with mini puzzles.
I have so enjoyed that game: challenges/mini games were very good and could have been a tad more difficult in my mind for advanced level
The story line was saved by the revelation of childhood upbringing
The graphics were of good quality (cannot comment on the sound as I tend to play without it)
The navigation was easy
... yes folks, I loved it!

Any suggestion welcome to rescue my low spirits after playing that demo: everything was awful, the graphics, the boring & unchallenging games, the progression. the story...I will stop here.
Please BF, bring back the magic!

I must have a bad hair day but I failed to experience any challenge, fun, pleasure playing the demo.
Not for me. I would suggest it might suit 5-8 years old in order to develop their sense of coordination, memory, accuracy, timing....

Well what can I say,not flawless but for once lets have a round of applause for BF. ( clap, clap, clap!)
Old grumpy me submitted to the magic of that fairy tale:
- gorgeous graphic and characters with a cute interaction
- good pace
-I could have done with a bit more challenge in the mini games but good ideas were there
What is not to like, so thumbs up from me!

A new time management/strategy game:
- graphics and visual are acceptable
- story line is okish
- mini-games in between are boring
- sound was off, so I cannot comment
- fun factor was non existent
I did the demo for the game sake but the characters look a bit boring and didn't grab me, it just felt like going through the motions rather than having great fun.
I would say that it is more suitable for beginners starting playing that sort of games

To be quite frank it didn't grab me and I am not sure why: graphics are fine, progression is a bit slow but logical, puzzles are average, it is ok....it is just I had the impression of eating processed food rather than having a culinary discovery, I have had more thrills cooking an omelet!
For me there is nothing to write home about and I cannot say it is awful, just disappointing.
Would suit new players from beginners level to intermediate.
