I almost don't know where to start, phew! This game is a gather and build recource TM, but no simple one. It begins in a wonderland setting which is just delightful. However after level 10 you suddenly thrust out of wonderland and are inside a building (go figure?..I didn't read the dialogue I guess)..and that's because one feature is 'totally skip dialogue! Love it!

I almost don't know where to start, phew! This game is a gather and build recource TM, but no simple one. It begins in a wonderland setting which is just delightful. However after level 10 you suddenly thrust out of wonderland and are inside a building (go figure?..I didn't read the dialogue I guess)..and that's because one feature is 'totally skip dialogue! Love it!

There is NO strategy guide! However there is an extraordinary help guide that tells you the properties and purpose of each symbol, how to cast spells (bonuses) and what the appearing and disappearing things are on your screen. Even your bonuses disappear if you don't grab them. They are on a wheel at the bottom of the screen...

There is a puzzle cup on most levels (SO HARD to find) and scrolls to grab when they flash on. The actual puzzle is a 'real' jigsaw you can actually do yourself !..(or the hint button assembles it for you.) You choose.

Just like most TM's you have alters, resource buildings, chests, and upgrade abilities. I found the timer none too forgiving, but it was really my strategy that meant I had to play a level twice just to get to understand it. It was really about 'what upgrades' you choose. But if you really get stuck and want to move on, (or need to hunt puzzle cups) you can toggle between relaxed and timed without losing level situation. I played one level in relaxed totally and still got 3 stars.

This is one where you really must try the demo. I think it is a top quality delight. I think there SHOULD be a strategy guide that shows where the puzzle pieces are at least..but this is a rather no hand holding game. It will keep me busy for ages repeating lol, but not frustrated to keep going.

I think this is one of the best to come along for quite a while. Some new novel features (like restoring colour to bits of your screen) and often your tasks are not clear till you clear one and another pops up. So no slacking!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. I think there is something for everyone here. Well done developers! Show less

That's a fresh look on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
The game has really eye pleasing graphics and style, cozy atmosphere and proper difficulty!
I have been playing the game on a hard difficulty and i've started to having challenges completing levels with 3 stars as soon as level 3 and 4; in fact, i wasn't able to achieve such a result on my first attempt! But there's actually what they call 'relax mode' - a mode for players who just want to enjoy storytelling and soothing gameplay.
And by the way there's a lot of story and characters in game! And, I'd go as far as to saying there's probably TOO many character dialogues and that hurts the pacing of the game.
Collector's edition doesn't include familiar to the genre level's walkthrough manual. But the game itself has detailed illustrated manual to the game's mechanics. Collector's edition itself has plenty of additional content! Bonus levels, puzzles for you to look for and combine (which are these cups that are sometimes extremely hard to find on the levels!), scrolls to collect (which you have to see appearing on the level and be quick to click on until they disappear), usual achievements system and wallpapers. That's a lot, ain't it? Besides, the aforementioned scrolls gradually open access to illustrated Cheshire Cat's stories as you collect them!
Enjoyed it. Show less

I'm not usually a time management game fan. But I played the beta version of this game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the full game. This morning I'm thrilled to see the game is finally available. Of course I'm going to buy it.

I recommend this game!

I love TM games - I do. Anything and everything timed will get my attention. This game is very well done and well thought out, particularly for a first effort. It's clean, the graphics are very good, the game movement is smooth and fast and I had no problems following the concepts or keeping pace.

It's just that, for me, it got a bit annoying after the 5th level, and by the 14th level, I couldn't take any more. 3 stars on every level playing on 'HARD' mode - it just wasn't providing a challenge. It does have achievements and high scores, so those are pluses (you can replay and try to top yourself), but there are only 52 levels (with bonus levels) and for a Collector's Edition, that's not very many levels, especially if none of them are difficult. However, please try it for yourself. Just because it's not my cup of tea, doesn't mean it won't be your cup of coffee, right? Again, I think the devs did a fantastic job - it's a well-put together game. Show less

I enjoyed the demo but even though I liked it will wait for the SE to come out. Unusual for a TM this game had a 90 mins demo so was able to get a fair way in to the game

This is a beautifully produced game with many challenges. Do not be put off by the initial levels - it does get challenging. Well worth the purchase.
