Basically same Game as before but different Scenarios

It's colorful, good balanced graphics on cartoon level, good animation. It has easter eggs for the puzzles on each segment. After completing each puzzle it opens up a bonus level in that segment. After completing every level you open-up the super end of game bonus level.

It has a bunch of different variety of mood music.

Basically same Game as before but different Scenarios

It has a bunch of different variety of mood music.

It has a major graphic that you fill in after completing each level in 3 stars. You can do that easily in untimed mode.

I tried getting the big star in timed mode but got stuck at 5.6 level. Part of the reason is the goofy way the game works, when you click on some resource or build it doesn't allocate that task to the nearest worker.

The guide is an active, in game arrow pop-up of where to go next as before. It doesn't show you the best route but gives you hints on the best route of action so you have to adlib on it. You have a time rate adjustment bar so you can either slow down or speed up the game time passing and is also reflected in the speed of moment of your players.

One annoying problem, as with the previous game, is that after so many replays it crashes and I have to reboot the game. It usually happens when I complete a game. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a decent Time Management game with some interesting tasks, I loved the turtles and crabs that shoot up in the air at warp speed when you click on them...I don't know why they do it, or what its purpose was but it entertained me lol! I don't really "get" the concept of gifts in this game they seem out of place, but then again so do giant wheels of cheese and rocket-flying turtles! The one ...Show more

You can play in a Relaxed, Casual, or Expert Mode, and there is a Game Speed slider that can be set from 50-150%. I do like the fact that you can switch between modes easily. You will be tasked with clearing roads, finding Messages in a Bottle, collecting wood (from dead trees or platform resources that regenerate) removing piles of sand, filling pits, destroying Venus flytrap plants, collecting crystals, building farms, workshops, etc., and of course, collecting berries from bushes or wheels of cheese (hope that cheese is okay after sitting out in the sun all day?) Bonuses are available after a short recharge, such as Work Faster or Speed Workers, and there are Speed buttons to collect along the paths as well. (because the Gods thought it was funny?)

They ditched the Strategy Guide several games back to opt for a feature that uses a blue arrow to point to the resource or task in the correct order. (only available in the SE version) Most Time Management players only use a SG when they can't earn Gold after a few attempts and only use it to point us in the right direction. I thought I'd give this a try on one of the levels and I followed every blue arrow correctly but failed to get gold on 3 attempts. When I gave up on the arrows and did my own thing, I got gold on the first try!

Collector's Edition Extras:
5 Bonus Levels, 1 Super Bonus Level (Super Bonus Level is also available in the SE version) 9 Wallpapers, 6 Movie Cutscenes, and Hidden Puzzle Runes (also available in the SE version) that allow you to complete Jigsaw Puzzles -Pearl Hunter, Gotcha!, No Lunch Today, and Toreador (all jigsaws available in the SE version except Toreador) 23 Trophy Achievements (also available in the SE version) a Blue Arrow Strategy Guide (sort of?) a High Scores Leader board per level or game total (also available in the SE version) Basically, if you have to have wallpapers and a few extra levels then the CE is best, otherwise, you get most of these features in the SE version for half the price!
