Very Different!

Favorite Genre(s):Strategy, Time Management
This game is more of a strategy game than time management. I hope that there will be more like this in the Rescue Team series. That being said, I hope that any future games will not have the annoying "hint" pop-ups. They are constant, and there is no way to stop them. The hints are useless, as many of them hint at something that was already done in the game. There should be an option to shut them off. Other than that, this game is fantastic.
I recommend this game!

If you enjoy builders where you can build what you want, where you want, you will love this game. Similar to Coconut Queen, but the game does not end with a timer. You are only playing for Stars and the level goes past the highest level. This is a great game for the replay factor since it will change with your decisions. Relaxing. I wish I would have found this game sooner!

Don't bother in 2018

Although this is a WONDERFUL game with lots of variety and challenges, you are wasting your time if you play it in 2018. The game is from 2013, and there are not any active players for things like friends which you need to advance in the game. you will ultimately not be able to finish all the tasks.
I don't recommend this game.

If you were a fan of "Finders", you will love this game. Even some of the music is the same! You do collect resources, but you get to choose things like how many huts, mines etc., to build, where to place them etc. After 10 minutes of game play I purchased it since Finders was one of my favorites. There is no frantic clicking, as this game is very relaxed and you can play at your own pace. I've not done any battles yet, so I can't comment on that part of the game. I wish there were more games like this available.
I recommend this game!

Reminds Me of Northern Tale

I'm halfway through the demo and about 70% sure I will buy. This game reminds me of Northern Tale. Though the buildings are the same, there is different configuration with each level. You are also doing things like clearing roads, upgrading buildings, and producing products like flour or crusts. You can then sell these items at the market on the level. Here are other things worth noting:
1. You can buy workers or donkeys. Donkeys do the building and clearing, upgrading the buildings and taking things to market. Workers collect products from the buildings. Each level starts with a different amount of donkeys and workers.
2. There is no untimed option. However, you can continue once the timer is up until you complete the level. Your reward for completing the level within the alloted time is that you get to upgrade the throne room. These upgrades are done for you and you do not choose them.
3. Music is on the dull and boring side. Not too many voice overs so far. The only ones I have encountered are muffled chipmunk style voices at the market.
4. You can choose how many of what item you want to sell at the market, much like TV Farm.
5. If you are looking to complete the level in the allotted time get ready for a lot of frantic clicking.
6. Bar on top is easy to figure out which tells you how much gold and product you have as well as workers and donkeys.
7. Like Northern Tale there are obstacles to "pay off" in order to get past some roads. I think these were goblins.
8. There are stars that you collect which occasionally drop from the buildings and collect for upgrades. The two I have encountered so far were an upgrade to increase productivity and one to speed up the workers.
If you liked Northern Tale you might enjoy this one. Also if you enjoyed TV Farm some of the elements in this game are similar.
I recommend this game!

I was looking for a true strategy game without time constraints. A game that needed more thought from the player than speed. After reading the reviews I decided to give this one a try. I got so hooked that I purchased before the demo was up so I wouldn't lose any part of my game! It starts out deceptively simple, but becomes more complex as the game goes on. For example, buying a lot of ingredients at a cheap price might seem like a good idea, but then they can go bad in storage and you lose them! Haggling with the vendors was always paying off, but suddenly one vendor got fed up and raised the prices on me, making me think twice before haggling again. I took another reviewer's advice and started with the first in the series. I'm so glad that once this game is completed I have two more to look forward to! The only time speed comes into play with this game is when you set the machines in the chocolate factories, but once you get the hang of it its not so bad.
If you like strategy games where you have to really plan ahead, this one is for you!
I recommend this game!

I love farming games and thought I would try this one. I liked it enough to buy after the demo, and the challenge is there if you want the gold, but there are too many things I didn't care for. One was the fact that you didn't choose the upgrades and the game did it for you. Another is that the rewards are useless decor and not things that will enhance the game. Buying completed items rather than producing them to win the level was a turn off for me. One good thing is that you can go on to complete the level after the gold, silver, and bronze times expired.
Build a thriving colony in a vast wilderness teeming with surprises!

I love the Virtual Villagers games, and this is an improvement over that series. Your little people don't die, and you get to have them work throughout the game. You choose when to upgrade buildings and when to use technology points. If you like the Virtual Villagers series you will love this game. I've played it over a dozen times and it is different everytime I play it!

Hidden Gem - Great Game!

I found this game because someone mentioned it in a review of another game. You are actually building resorts in this game, not farming coconuts as the game implies. You can place various types of resort buildings such as cabanas, cottages, condos and hotels, and upgrade them as you see fit. Various decorations also increase values in your resort. Gems received can purchase things like faster workers and discounts for supplies. There are many ways to win the level and this game has a lot of replay value. If you enjoy games where you can decorate and build to your liking and not in a set position, this one will not disappoint.
I recommend this game!

This game is a combination Plant Tycoon and Farm Sim. The best part is you decide if you want to "fill orders" which are timed. If not, you can achieve the level goals at your own pace. You get to place the garden objects and flower plots where you wish, another plus. If you liked Alice Greenfingers you will love this game.
