What I liked about this game was that it was intuitive. With a little thought you could work out logically where you had to go next in any part of the game. A lot of games are not like that. The early Surface series was the same. I liked the colours, backgrounds and characters and could not help myself going on and on through the game without stopping. I wish it was not over. I bought the other Subliminal Realms game on the strength of this one. You will enjoy it
I recommend this game!

The premise of the story is OK but this is pretty much the same as Elven Legend. One thing that is laughable are the English translations. They are really bad!

This series of games is probably my favourite of all the games i have. it is the one series that I keep coming back to and playing over and over again. There is a real challenge in it. You need to balance the resources and buildings against getting to the ultimate end before the day ends or else you do not get the gold piece of the puzzle. I just love it and wish there was another like it coming out. Please write another series like this one!!!!
I recommend this game!

This game is extremely addictive. I cannot stop going to the next level. It is quirky and quite different. It seems like it is written by a nerd. There is so much in it to see and read and do. I have found it a pleasant change from the normal Time Management and HO games that I normally play. The graphics and music are a bit simplistic but again it is a refreshing change from scary stuff and just collecting resources.
I really like this game and I think it will take me ages to finish it which is also refreshing from the standard stuff written nowadays.
Just love it Joe, do more!!!!!
I recommend this game!

I really like the SURFACE series of games and was not disappointed with this one. The story is a little different to other games and the flow is really good. You feel you are really following a tale. I really loved this game

I have just finished the whole game in Hard Mode and earned the gold skull. It took a while and I had to plan resourcing etc very well to get there but have done it.
This is a real thinking persons time management game. Once you have finished there is a real satisfaction in beating the clock and planning everything well.
I cannot wait till Book 3 comes out!!
I recommend this game!

I have found that this game is pretty much the same as Royal Envoy but Royal Envoy is better.
You have a lot of clicking to do and there is not the same feeling of organisation where you can plan your tactics to win gold time. It seems far more haphazard and not nearly as well thought out. I do not know if I will finish the game, I have bought it, but maybe when there is nothing better to do I will go back to it and try again
I don't recommend this game.

I found all of the elements in this game.
The storyline was interesting
The graphics and colours and scenery were fantastic
The music fitted and was not intrusive or annoying
The hidden object scenes were lovely to look at and the puzzles were interesting and not boring.
It was fun looking for the flowers in the scenes as well.
I love this game and will be disappointed when I get to the end. It is truly a superior piece of work.
I recommend this game!

This game had lots of challenge in it and it took a long while to get gold on all levels. I could not stop trying the levels over and over again. There are little ways to do things differently that make a heap of difference.
I cannot wait till the second book in the trilogy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend this game!
