This seems like a simple match 3 game for beginners or someone who just wants to pass relaxing time. But I don't really know for sure. The game froze after completing the first stage and I had to "command - quit" to get the game to relinquish control of my computer. I don't fool around with games that freeze my computer. This is not a problem that I generally have. It's up to you to give it a try yourself.
Beautiful graphics and fun game play. There is a timed feature, but so far it doesn't seem very difficult to get through levels. I am just happy there are games that are not all the typical HO style with a threatening story line.
Why are the rescuers so slimy? Usually I do not pay a whole lot of attention to the story line, but this one is awful.
If you haven't played the other Rescue Team games, do not start with this one. The instructions aren't clear about hiring the rescued workers and I am still not entirely clear if hiring them makes a big difference. It doesn't seem to hard to get through levels. This is an ok game and if you need a new TM game it isn't horrible, at least you can chain the actions.
I read the reviews and thought I wouldn't like this game. Yes things get significantly harder on the second level, but yay for that. I like a timed challenge and I am happy when I can't get something on the first try, it makes achieving the level so much more gratifying. I did not however look to see how many levels this game had and someone remarked that they didn't think there were too many levels. A short challenge I do not like, so not sure I will buy it if this is true.
So far I only played half the demo, but this one looks very promising. First off they have the click ahead feature. How many times have reviewers commented on this feature? This game has it. Also, on the Adventure setting, you can reach gold, it's not always straight forward easy, but not impossible either. Perfect. Everyone wants a challenge without it being just one route to the answer with manic clicking. You can get to gold and it isn't down to the nano second. Finally a worthy Time Management gamed amongst all the HOGs! I didn't give it an excellent, because I am still on demo.
I was very excited to se a TM game instead of another HO game and I was especially happy to see it might be similar to MKFP. Don't bother. You can't plan ahead and the developers have "gold" achievements timed to the nano second. Even when there is just one solution and pathway and you are clicking asap, the highest achievement is almost impossible to get. Not much fun. Big disappointment. What irks me, is that the players who rate these games make the same comments over and over. We want to be able to plan and click ahead, we want characters that can move quickly in the early levels and we want a challenge but not a near impossibility. Developers please listen, because we will buy.
A nice match 3 - but I like to think a little more

This was a nice match 3 and the graphics were good. The game play was ok. I like using strategy a bit more and in this match 3 you could achieve your goals with just a lot of fast random clicking. No thinking involved. The mini games were a nice break but not challenging.
This TM game was not that interesting. Strangely, you could very easily get goal, but expert took an extra try and I am not sure why as this is pretty easy to understand and play. I play mostly TM games and I wouldn't recommend this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Atlantis: Pearls of the Deep required just the right amount of strategy. Levels required some planning and patience, but all the levels are doable.
