Reading the other reviews I thought that I would hate this game, but I love it.
There is a lot of clicking and a lot of strategy involved. Gold levels are obtainable but on some levels it took me a several tries.
This is a game that you probably won't get through in a day and I like that.
Give it a try, it is certainly worth it.
I recommend this game!

This game takes some real strategy and planning. After 21 levels 17 are gold and 4 silver.Those too shall get conquered. Most levels take me 3 tries to get gold with 1 to 2 seconds remaining. You don't always need to build everything they present so watch your requirements. Trees yield more wood than the mine.

I really don't understand the negative reviews of this game. I find it interesting and challenging. I like that they have different tasks from other TM games. If you like TM games give it a try. I almost didn't even try it because of the reviews. Big mistake!

I really like this and you CAN get through the levels if you do them a few times, watching what needs to be done and then going back and doing them. I love TM games and this one is challenging for sure. Thanks BF!

This is a fantastic game for those up for a challenge! It kind of reminds me of the difficult levels of farm frenzy, but the levels aren't that hard.
YES there is a good amount of clicking. If this is a problem, then pass on the game. If this doesn't bother you, then TRY IT!!! And *technically* you don't have to click a lot, that's just the only way to get gold on the levels. There is strategy ...Show more
This is a fantastic game for those up for a challenge! It kind of reminds me of the difficult levels of farm frenzy, but the levels aren't that hard.
YES there is a good amount of clicking. If this is a problem, then pass on the game. If this doesn't bother you, then TRY IT!!! And *technically* you don't have to click a lot, that's just the only way to get gold on the levels. There is strategy behind what you are clicking, and I actually like the concept!
I am getting so tired of all the MKFTP-type of time management games (which I initially loved), but this one really ups the challenge and makes you think a bit more. I did often have to replay levels, but the longest level is like 3 minutes, so it's not a big deal.
The story line seems like a strange afterthought. It's a little weird and doesn't add to the game, but that didn't bother me. That's not the reason I'm playing, anyway.
If you are looking for a TM game that's a little new, I highly recommend you try this one! I don't think it's fair to rate a game low just because the style of game play (clicking) isn't your preference. This is a solid game and you should check it out! Show less
I recommend this game!

I was able to finish every level in gold, but many levels took several tries. Keep in mind what your goals are and move fast, but it was certainly possible. A lot of clicking in order to make the tasks go faster. Don't like having to click through the characters conversations each time I restart a level, but not a big deal. All-in-all, a fun game. Don't be afraid to try it.
I recommend this game!

It does have lots of clicking, but it gives me more freedom to do things, instead of waiting for tasks to be finished.
I loved the game as it was more challenging, I was getting fed up with too easy games. Even this game was not hard if you plan your moves, you can have 10-30 seconds left. I've got gold for every level and I loved this game. I bought it and played a few times and have fun. I wish

Didn't find I had to click really hard and fast -just needs a few taps to speed up buildings a bit.
Got bronze and silver all the way through but I enjoyed it so I don't mind that so much.
Maybe a bit more variety would have been good.
Would love another of these, but better AND longer.
I recommend this game!

Definitely not for TM beginners. As another post mentioned, it is nearly impossible to get gold on the levels. 1) You have to be constantly clicking to speed up your workers (which is exhausting on the fingers!), and 2) they are always adding new goals in the middle of the level. The trick is to never let a worker stand still- ALWAYS have your workers collecting energy, materials, and gold, ...Show more

The trick is to never let a worker stand still- ALWAYS have your workers collecting energy, materials, and gold, because you never know what you'll need. I think it's a pretty fun game for experienced TM gamers that want a challenge. The only part that I really dislike is the need to be clicking nonstop through the entire game. Show less
