Was hesitant to try this game due to the overall low ratings/reviews. Normally, my fellow fish are pretty accurate with TM game ratings, and I would steer clear of a game with such low ratings, but with the recent TM game drought, I was desperate. Glad I made the decision to try it, because I absolutely loved it!

Game play is focused on growing crops to produce items that are more valuable (i.e., apples -> juice -> lemonade). However, it's not one of those typical farming games...which I still play but am not crazy about. You have the obligatory path clearing, bridge building, etc., but again, focus is more on production. Music was pleasant for a change and storyline was cute, although I almost always skip past those. All of the awards worked and no glitches with any of the levels.

Only downsides are:
- Massive amount of clicking to complete tasks. But, on a positive note it doesn't require the type of constant, fast clicking that some games have, so your hand doesn't start cramping! Could still use less clicks, though.
- Bonuses are time-limited. You receive points for each level you complete that can be used to purchase bonuses, such as lower cost for buildings, increased production, etc., but they only last for 30 mins. :(
- So far as I can tell, you don't receive any gold back when demolishing a building/field.
- Strategy guide was pretty much worthless. Does not help you find puzzle pieces (sometimes I had to just click everywhere to find them), and there was one level (43, I think) where it LITERALLY tells you to "figure it out on your own"!!!! Think the game could have been a standard edition with such an awful guide. :/

Pointers:
- Always click on the birds. They will sometimes give you a pink feather that you can trade for gold ($500 or $650 if your bonus is activated). These come in very handy, especially at the beginning of a level.
- Don't be intimidated by the timed version. Rarely ever had trouble meeting 3 stars, even without bonuses. Show less

I recommend this game!

Playing the demo, I found this to be an improvement from the first NL game. The developers seem to have heard all of our woes about the first one because it isn't as stressful getting through levels in NL 2. There are bonuses you can use but I only used them if I absolutely could not get gold on a level. I did purchase the game and do not regret it.

I recommend this game!

I played the first game,NL1 and although I liked it I found it a bit "Meh"

So when I saw NL 2 I only downloaded it because there was nothing else on offer that I fancied (We are not all fans of "Hidden Object "games!!!!!!!)

But I was delighted with this one! It was sweet (pun intended) challenging, and makes you think about how to plan your moves.

I play timed mode and easily got gold in all levels. I say easily, but in reality had to use boosts for a couple of levels. They were super useful btw.

I loved that the puzzle pieces on each level were not always easy to find. They were well hidden and a challenge to find which I loved!

I am glad I took a punt on this game, it was a rare gem and I would highly recommend it! Show less

I almost didn't look at this game due to many giving it such low ratings. I'm glad I didn't pay attention to those ratings and tried it out for myself.

I am on my second playthrough and I do think it is more strategy than time management though it has strong elements of both.

Whichever category you prefer you won't be disappointed. There is plenty to do and you will need your thinking cap in ...Show more

Whichever category you prefer you won't be disappointed. There is plenty to do and you will need your thinking cap in order to pass the levels even if you play Untimed Mode.

I've seen a lot of chiding of the developers for making lemonade from apple trees. It is possible I missed it but I did not see anyone explaining what does come from apple trees.

I don't know if they read reviews or not, but in case they do, Apple Cider is made from apple trees and lemonade comes from lemon trees.

I am looking forward to their next game with great anticipation. I love the fact that it is a male character and not another buxom blonde, after all, plenty of chefs and candy makers are men.

Not only is the game very pleasant to look at, graphics are excellent, but I love the fact that it's not just click here, click there, to meet a level goal.

You have to think about what strategy to use on each level which makes this game a winner for me. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really don't understand the poor reviews for this game. I absolutely love it and am so glad I ignored them and downloaded the Collectors Edition. Lovely graphics; sweet music and sounds; challenging, but not too hard to get 3 stars. I do find it hard to find the 'mosaics' though. Well worth a try out.

I recommend this game!

I almost didn't try this game due to the bad reviews but I am so happy I did. It is fabulous! Nice change of pace from the gather repair move down the path time management games.

There is not just one path to follow and many ways to achieve 3 stars on all of the levels. Challenging enough to need to replay a few of the levels while not being impossibly hard or requiring such quick clicking your hand begins to hurt.

Give this a try and see if you like it! Show less

Someone needs to go back to school. Apples & apple juice do not make lemonade. Lemons & sugar make lemonade. They need some lemon trees.

I will have to go back and play levels to find the puzzle piece.
I bought the game. Because it will will a way to release stress on a lazy afternoon. Show less
