Yippy! A decent TM game. I am happy to say this is a fun game. I gave 3 checks on the visual because I am not partial to the cartoon type game. I prefer the setting to be more like Roads of Rome or Viking Saga but it's still fun. It reminded me a bit of Hercules but moved a little faster to me. Thumbs up for this one.
I recommend this game!

I am sad because maybe once every 2 weeks if we are lucky we get a TM game. And the fact this is just a generic Katy and Bob means we won't get one for a while now. I read the reviews and said to myself, it can't be that much the same. Wow, It is the same exact game. I bought the mobile version of safari cafe just 2 nights ago and love the series but this is sorta the Save a Lot version of Katy and Bob. And for the life of me I can't figure out what the girl is doing with her hand, it's almost like she is just motioning "whatever" everytime you give her a task. If you are desperate and really need a TM fix I suppose you could wait for the standard edition but I wouldn't waste money on a CE.
I don't recommend this game.

I sure did want to love this game but it was a bit tedious. A bunch of double clicking and still couldn't get things to move around right. I even enabled touch screen on my laptop but it was too much work. When it switched to another world and they needed help with supplies and food I didn't feel confident enough to keep the game going because I wasn't sure if I could keep my own world sustained, it just seemed too confusing. I suppose it's just not my kind of game. I am sure some will love though.
I don't recommend this game.

If you want a rather simple game and if you love The 12 Labors series you will probably love this game. The graphics are great, they run after their stores at good pace but, I didn't like the fact I had to pay 25 gold just to pick the berry bushes. Wow that seemed petty after rereading but It's how I feel. The fact that there are so few TM games and when they do come out it seems to be back to back I would say jump on it. Enjoy gaming.
I recommend this game!

I love this series it's never disappointing. The new whimsical set is refreshing and I can't wait to get through the rest of this game. I only played 10 min and I am sold. It is nice not to have to wait for the Standard Version either tks for that. Ok I am going to get back to the game TTFN.
I recommend this game!

It is Gnomes Garden with poor graphics. Right off the bat I knew it was not going to be my fav. We get so few TM games I was excited during download but it just falls flat in my book. Save your credits and money on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I jump to the chance to play any new TM game so, I tried it. The music was great so surreal and soothing but the game was just OK. It was a bit too cartoon like. Almost to easy. Not worth the CE but I may get the regular game when it comes out.
I don't recommend this game.

I think I just played maybe 5 minutes and bought it. I love these games they are popping them out pretty fast this year too. Its great because there are not too many TM games anymore. I love that we are rescuing the dragons now instead of putting them to sleep. All the game play is the same which is great I don't like change with my favorite games. If you loved the first one and you loved the last one you will definitely love this one.
I recommend this game!

Great Timing Big Fish, I was getting the summer time blues waiting for some good Time Management games, with rain in the forecast off and on here in Florida your games are a delight. This game is a refreshing treat and so fun to play. I only discovered the other 2 Katy and Bob games early this year and love playing them over and over. This is basically the same deal as the other games you cook food you serve food and there's never a dull moment. Run, run, run and have fun, fun, fun.
I recommend this game!

These are some fast little vikings. They take down trees destroy rocks, fish and burn down their enemy's huts. The game moves along petty quick but is really fun.
