This game is superb in it's music and graphics with reasonable puzzles to solve. It has 3 types of easter eggs to find. It has a navigable map with indicators of the easter eggs to find.
After finishing the main game you can replay all the puzzles and hidden objects in the extra section along with the usual offerings.
You will enjoy this game with it's excellent customizations.
I recommend this game!

It's an expanded version of the previous game. It's just as detailed in it cartoon graphics level but the play complexity is not cartoonish, it has real challenging levels. I just managed to make 3 stars on all levels in normal timed mode. Music is OK.
There are no easter eggs or extras beyond achievement awards. And it's fun to play in non- timed, casual mode to boot.
I recommend this game!

It's very good and similar to other games of it's class. Very good graphics and mood music. Puzzles can be difficult, you can replay them after game completion. Some puzzles are unique. Hidden object find can be trying. There are 3 easter eggs to find, 1 in the bonus game.
Ending indicates a sequel.

Similar to the previous version. Colorfull, good graphics with some new music scores that are OK. The only thing that's different is harder levels. On the bonus levels the easter eggs are poster stickers.
It has some very difficult levels, some are just in time but I got 3 stars in normal timed mode on every level including the bonus levels. It's fun to play in casual mode.
One criticism. On those levels that had resources in water it was hard to see the fish and logs. I went in circles on one level until I just happen to click on them.
I recommend this game!

Sometimes games that look boring and bland are surprising gems. This is just that kind of game. The graphics are good. The gameplay, storyline and music is good. You don't have to do much micromanagement but sometimes you have to do a resource pickup.
The game does seem to have a quirk in that if you don't proceed in a particular way you will find yourself short on resources, even though the math says it should work out.
Each level is timed and challenging, you will find you usually have more then enough time for each level. It's fun to play.
For each level you win you get gems that you can use to either buy bonuses or complete a castle graphic which isn't much. So you will find yourself going back to replay levels for gems, the higher the level the more you get with each level win. It's kind of tedious in that way. There are no easter eggs.
According to the games ending there should be a sequel.
I recommend this game!

Much like the last game except in this version you have bonus buttons. You have puzzle piece on each level but this time they are hidden under thing, usually bushes that you have to click on to uncover. Each level has a puzzle icon that lets you know if you found the puzzle piece.
The in game guide points the path to success, but not totally, sometimes you have to deviate from the path to find the best solution.
The game has a hobby castle you can build but only in timed mode when you complete each level, just like in previous games. So you have casual, normal, and extreme modes with the last 2 being timed. I was able to complete all levels in normal mode, with some levels very difficult to beat and just in time. A couple gave me wrist lash.
On the end levels there are easter eggs to find as you will find out, just look for the jar in the right hand column.
I recommend this game!

Atmospheric music is good but redundant. The graphics are subpar, bland, making it difficult in hidden object find. Some puzzles are difficult and challenging. 2 drove me up the wall involving separating the particles challenge. There are many puzzles, you can skip any of them.
You have limited versions of the mini game in the extra content. Keeping track of things is difficult. There is no map, you have to use the hint button if you get lost or to see where to go next. There are no easter eggs. Story line is not well developed in my opinion.

An unusual warrior game, like sword and wizard games of the 80s. The graphics are still, low grade pictures with little animation and mostly text dialog.
You start out choosing an occupation which determines what battle cards you start out with. but you can get any of the other cards at a shop or store with enough gold. You begin your journey outside of a kingdom on a map. You click on an icon of a place on the map, the only one at the moment, and a little animated character, you, moves to the icon. Once there a picture of the castle appears. On it are various doors. 1 door goes to the dukes chambers where you receive task orders that opens up other places on the map, another door goes to a stash of gold, another to an arena where you fight opponents for gold, another to the store for various items.
In a conflict an interface opens up where you have various characters on your side fighting various characters on the other side. Battles are fought with different cards of weapons bought at the stores or achieved. So that is how the game goes. You go out on quests, interface with various characters and either receive more leads to things happening around the map or get rewards for tasks accomplished or get into conflict battles. At cities and castles you fight characters in arenas for more gold to get more weapons or even gain more allies on your side. The one problem I have is you can't choose your choice of battle cards, that is predetermined from the available slots. The used cardset replaced by what's next in the hidden stack
As a side feature outside of the quest, you can have quick battles with any set of characters you choose for training purposes or amusement.
Although the game is primitive the playing of the game is not, it's quite intriguing. So give it a try and see if you like it. The next version cab only be an improvement.
I recommend this game!

Just another version of the previous one with a different story line. Maybe a new music track but not much is new. You have puzzle easter eggs to randomly find, they complete a picture in the extra section. What is nice is- on the map just putting the cursor over the level icons reveals whether a puzzle piece is there and whether you have found it, so you can go back and locate it and click on it without replaying the level to completion if you missed it the first time.
After a number of level completions you get a choice of 3 bonus accelerators. Humor is sprinkled throughout.
What is new is the arcade stuff. One of them is a battleship version which is nice. Another is a shoot em down arcade. The last one is a matching tiles game.
There are 3 playing modes, casual (untimed), normal (moderately timed), and extreme for the rabid TMG fans. I got through all levels with normal, after first playing casual, with some near the gold time mark. It's all timing and resource management while targeting just the requirements needed. And don't use the guide as a gospel solution, it's just a help suggestion to get you to see other alternatives that you must tailor to your solution which can differ from the guide. As the old saying goes, there is more then one way to get to home.
I recommend this game!

It's like other Adventure Games I played. Graphics are decent as is animation. Music is OK. There are 2 easter eggs to find, ice squirrels and morphing objects. Some are hard to find.
Some puzzles are hard and frustrating to me so I skipped them. All kinds of configuration options. Story line is OK but kind of fractured.
I recommend this game!
