After reading the reviews I was prepared to be disappointed with this game, but in fact I love it. My only criticism so far is the scoring - it's absolutely absurd to score more than a million points on one level!! Come on, developers, make the scoring more realistic please. Also, allow us to change the cursor please.

I don't understand why other reviewers are complaining about the amount of dialogue. If you don't like it, you can turn it off! That's what I've done, because I got sick and tired of it. Other than that, the game is ok, especially for anyone in lockdown as we are at the moment. It's not great, but it fills in a few hours.
Since the developers took away our ability to choose whether to use a rocket, a bomb or get rid of same tiles, these games have become, quite frankly, boring. I bought 8, discovered this facility had been removed and we had no control over the rocket, I was disappointed. I bought 9 hoping it would have been put back, but no. Now 10, and it's still the same. Boring, boring, boring. I have purchased every Larauville game, but certainly won't be buying any more of them. Very disappointing.
I love tm games, and have all of the Hercules series, but this one is a big no-no for me. The childish graphics are really silly in a game I presume was meant for adults, and the extremely irritating flying products, both off and onto the board, drove me mad.

I like HO games, but this one is no fun - the objects are far too small and hidden in the background. I only played a couple of levels, and couldn't be bothered with any more.
I have loved and played all the other Hercules games since they were first released, and this one is a big miss by the developers. It's irritating to have to used the power-ups whether you want to or not - if you don't, you can't progress through the level! This is a very poor decision by the developers, and must never be repeated. Let us have some control please! The stupidity of the ? indicating there is a puzzle piece nearby - wrong! I tried it over 6 levels and never found a thing. Don't waste your money.

I'll buy the sv when it comes out. Thankfully you can turn off those irritating blue arrows by turning off the tutorial. The game itself is no different from all the other Herc games, but it's still fun. I'd like some Cretan bulls to destroy, or enemies of some kind.

Got to level 17, and have absolutely no idea, and no instructions offered on how to play it. After 15 frustrating minutes, I have been forced to delete the game. What a waste of money.
I played the demo to level 10, then dumped it because of boredom. It's just the same thing over and over and over. There are dozens of very good TM games out there, but sadly (for those of us starved for a new one) this one doesn't cut it for me.

Thank goodness the developers made note of players complaints about the incessant, endless reminders in Season One, and gave us an option to reduce them or stop altogether. It's made this game much more enjoyable than the first.
