This cute-as-a-button Farming game was one of my first "must-haves" as I've worked my way through testing the Time Management games. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves relaxed queuing / farming games without any time pressure; however, as someone who loves the challenge of timed games, it is a bit slow for my taste. Usually I play this after I've had a long day at work and just need a few moments to relax and unwind.
This game was awful, and I barely got past the first few minutes. The graphics were poor, the sounds were grating, and there was no plot, per se - You do exactly as the description says, which is to move angels from cloud to cloud. I struggle to even categorize this game, as it made little sense in any way.
The type of game this is most similar to is a Tycoon game; however, the gameplay is unique. Every day, you set up the day and add a bit more to the restaurant you're playing (of which there are six types). You learn recipes, you choose which things you'll cook each day, you train your chefs and wait staff, and you decorate. Once all this is complete, you start the day and watch your staff work
The most unique part is the interaction during the day, which is more than any tycoon game I've played: You have to seat your customers, which means you need to squeeze all the tables you can into the restaurant during the setup phase (which can be challenging) and make sure you don't get distracted, as your clients will get frustrated at waiting. All of this leads to how many stars your restaurant has - You start with zero and can get up to five.
I'm enjoying playing the game. It's a bit more relaxed of a pace than I am used to, so the challenge-level isn't so bad. If you do poorly, then nothing really happens ... you just go into your next day. The layout of the restaurants is a bit frustrating, as there isn't much space and I feel like I'm putting a jigsaw puzzle together. But it's fun learning new recipes, setting up the menu, and seeing my staff get better at running the restaurant.
My Farm Life 1 is my favorite time management game, and they did a great job following it up. They took out some of the not-so-fun elements (such as nighttime and the lasso mini-game) and added more of the TM goodness - Carlos demands more and more product as the game progresses!
I just beat the game on expert. I was able to get "expert time" on about 3/4 of the levels without replay. I've gone back and redone and gotten the expert time easily on the ones I missed - except for the last level. I'm a long way from getting expert time on that. So, the challenge is mid-level for most of the game.
