Sometimes you don't mind playing a series that is a bit the same as others if they are outstanding. This series is one of those. In this third offering they have added several new features and bonuses along with the familiar.

It is a 'standard' gather resources meet tasks TM, but it is truly strategic, very challenging, smooth playing, and the developers have pretty much include everything you would want in a CE offering. Bonus levels, wallpapers, strategy guide and achievements. (I regularly get one called 'lucky guy' in this series for finishing with only one second left for gold lol)

The new features are portals, traps, (that are disabled by levers) crabs or wasps (needing a hunter) etc (meaning you must build the abode of the character that does the task as well as your buildings) The new bonus that I have come across (I'm early in and expecting more) refills supply sources not just bushes. There are new land settings to explore as well.

There are also three gold coins on each level you can collect to trigger the bonus levels. These are VERY hard to find when your mind is just on the gameplay (they don't stand out) but you can go back and collect them after finishing a level and they are shown on a magnifying glass you must open in the strategy guide (so as not to spy them if you wish to access the playguide and still accept the finding)

The characters in this series are rather heartwarming folk who you connect with and do want to help. It is rather light and whimsical in that regard. The graphics are warm and pleasing also.

I bought without even doing the demo. But try it. I think you will find it hard to pick something out that annoys or doesn't work or doesn't challenge you. There is a relax mode too, also acessable in timed mode at will without losing progress so you can move on in the game.

All in all..what a delight! Enjoy TM fans! Show less

I recommend this game!

At first I panicked when I saw Sofka Studios instead of Owl Studios (even though there is a different owl). When I saw the three, much revered, familiar names, I relaxed. It is a Studio rename, everyone who makes the game great is the same. Whew!

This series has proved to be a wonderfully challenging, graphically pleasing, smooth playing, funny and quirky, resource gathering TM, that can tax your strategy abilities at times. And in each addition, they add (or subtract) things, which shows they really care about the game and don't wish it to become boring for the players. They even change the Achievements a bit, which I personally, love to see. I don't remember if the other games had un-timed modes or not, but I do remember they weren't Collector's Editions. I haven't looked at anything in the Extras, I've only played the levels (I don't use Strategy Guides - sorry), but I saw in the Achievements there were hidden coins, so I knew to look for them. I thought that was a fun element as I like looking for hidden things, and you know you found all the coins on a level if a coin appears over your flag on the main map. There are portals, wasps, magic swords, bonuses (some new ones, as mentioned by Joybelle), magicians and upgrades and hunters and more of your favorites and some new surprises. All will keep you on your toes and happy to be one of Kevin's pals once again. Show less

It's just the normal collect and build time management game. But I had so much fun playing the demo I bought it immediately. Great, clean graphics and cute storyline. Coins to collect in each scene. It's pretty simple, maybe it gets more difficult later on. But I so enjoyed it. Try it out and have a little smile.

I recommend this game!

First of all, please excuse my bad english.

Playing this game is a real pleasure. It's a game for everyone. According to your skill level, you can play it "normally", or you can try to finish each level on time to get a "master medal". What a good idea to have added this medal, it's a huge improvement for experimented players !

Most of the TM games are too easy for expert players, but not this one. I had to use my brain and to restart most of the levels many times to get this medal, and that is exactly what I am expecting from this sort of game. (I got the medal in every levels whith the exception of 3 of them)

There are 10 additonnal levels in the CE version. The graphics during this extra chapter are very nice. There are also collectibles gold coins, which are very well hidden.

I really enjoyed playing this game, it's the most challenging TM game I played in a while. I hope that this developer will offer us some others TM games, as fun and challenging as this one ! Show less

I recommend this game!

You also have 3 hidden coins to find in each locations - I love that. The SG is good for those who want some help. Trophies and a puzzle complete the goodies section. Bonus levels awaits at the end of the main game.

The graphics and the music are excellent - nothing is annoying in this game. A Five Stars on any aspect. Didn't bought the others games in this series though - no widescreen and not good as this one. So thanks devs - this one is great !

Happy Gaming 2 All シ Show less

I have played through all levels on Relaxed. At first, I thought that this would be a cute little relaxing TM to play when I need a break. Hah! The gameplay is straight forward with gathering resources, building, defeating the bad guys, etc. There are several levels that are very involved and you have to think ahead on what to build first or you will be up a creek with no resources to continue. Then the developers threw in the coins to find. Gadzooks! I played many levels multiple times and couldn't find those sneaky little coins! They are hidden so well that I finally was clicking randomly around a scene in the hopes I'd hit one. I was obsessed with the coins. I was going to find each one or die trying. I am 80% there. I hope I can remember where they were because I have a sneaking suspicion that when I up the difficulty, I will have to find them all over again. No fair cheating and looking at the guide unless you are going insane! Show less

I had so much fun playing this game. It's challenging, I had to take several tries to try and beat the platinum time, but it was still fresh and fun. I'm definitely going back to this game in a few months.

It was really fun and had so many levels it was well worth the money! It was really challenging to get a good enough time to get my "wings" in each level.

We get a fair amount of TM games but not all are that challenging or engaging. This is will not disappoint. The graphics are crisp and colorful, story line is entertaining and the level of challenge is perfect. It's fun to come back and go for 3 stars on the more difficult levels. It's all good! I recommend this game.

The best of the three in my opinion. A good challenge and definitely re-playable. I don't really care about story-line on any TM game, so I gave it a neutral rating. But the game is good. If you're a TM fan, you'll like this one.

I recommend this game!
