I liked it! :)

Hey! I, too, was disappointed it was a TGT (Tomorrow's Game Today), yet once I got 'into' this old fashioned arcade-ish style TM, I couldn't quit!

Put your judgments aside for the graphics (yes, out dated!, bla bla bla) :} and try this... it is addictive and fun... btw, I played on my desktop with a mouse; not certain how it would play on my other deviced yet.

Give it a whirl before disqualifying it based on all the negative reviewls. I found it to be fun, cheerful and hard to stop playing and found myself trying for better scores (you have to be in the 'mood' for mindless, yet challenging gameplay) ... Tropical Mania is a definite 'maybe' and on my list for a CC (coupon code) or if it comes up as a DD (Daily Deal).

Check it out for yourself...

Have fun, be happy! :] Show less

I recommend this game!

This game reminds me of one of my favorite games, Haunted Domains, with exceptions. The graphics are of such poor quality that everything just blends together, the huts look like sand and nothing stands out. If you can overlook the basic archaic graphics, the game will have you hooked in no time.

This game reminds me of one of my favorite games, Haunted Domains, with exceptions. The graphics are of such poor quality that everything just blends together, the huts look like sand and nothing stands out. If you can overlook the basic archaic graphics, the game will have you hooked in no time. The huts require either maidservice, or waiters they may want ice cream or fruity drinks, and you retrieve those items by clicking on the person or item and delivering them to appropriate places again by clicking. At first your tray only carries two items at a time but everything is eventually upgraded as you progress including extra employees. Ho Hum on their version of tropical but the concept is there, enjoy! Show less

I remember playing this game years ago. It seems that BF may have only offered this game in the Mac version way back then (I think around 2008). That being said, it was an alright game then and it still is...if you enjoy retro games games today. When the game was released, I would have given it a much better rating; even though I have never been very good at the Dash-type games.

I remember playing this game years ago. It seems that BF may have only offered this game in the Mac version way back then (I think around 2008). That being said, it was an alright game then and it still is...if you enjoy retro games games today. When the game was released, I would have given it a much better rating; even though I have never been very good at the Dash-type games.

There really isn't a storyline and it's a mad dash to serve customers, upgrade the resort, and buildings. Since I'm not a very fast clicker, this game is very challenging to get all gold. There's definitely nothing new here; but back in the day...it was a refreshing change from the Dash series.

Should this game have been released as a "new" release? Probably not. Maybe as a special "Throwback" or "Nostalgia" game would have been better; and definitely not at full price.

I would recommend this game to those that enjoy the old-time dash games and have a coupon or wait for a sale. Just keep in mind that this game was launched over 6 years ago. Show less

I recommend this game!

I expected a time management game in the style of Paradise Beach or similar. What I got was a LOT of pointless clicking. The faster you fulfilled guest's wishes (which where not shown in any fun way, but simply appeared as blinking icons over holiday huts in an unimaginative cartoon landscape), the higher your score.

I expected a time management game in the style of Paradise Beach or similar. What I got was a LOT of pointless clicking. The faster you fulfilled guest's wishes (which where not shown in any fun way, but simply appeared as blinking icons over holiday huts in an unimaginative cartoon landscape), the higher your score. No thinking involved, no planning, just clicking. Also, I find it quite hard to believe that guests in any imaginary hotel scenario would need to assistance of a chambermaid a whopping six times in a row. Again. And again.

It became kind of monotonous after ten minutes, boring after twenty, tedious to the point of making me sleepy after twenty-five. Deleted it. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I get so excited when I see a new TM game. This one, however, was worse than bad. Just horrendous. The graphics, colors, were awful. You basically are sliding your cursor around clearing pop ups. I lasted 15 minutes and that was 14 minutes longer than needed. No buy.

I don't recommend this game.

I like these types of games, but this was nothing that captured me. It was, as another said, just clicking. No building up, noplanning, no strategy. It's an easy-play game. Not worth it for me :)

I don't recommend this game.

You cannot change players in this game. I've even tried deleting it and reinstalling it. You play the game once and thats it! big time thumbs down

I don't recommend this game.

I never leave reviews, but this game was so bad, I feel like I have to warn other players not to bother!! All you seem to do, is slide your cursor from one place to another, while apparently serving customers ice cream. I played for 10 seconds, and exited the game.

I don't recommend this game.

I really love tm games and really was impressed to see another one. However this very fast turned to disappointment as this is shockingly awful. There isn't much thought in the game and the graphics are last century. The game play is a little mystifying to say the least. I managed only 30 minutes.

Very disappointing.

If you want to while away a couple of hours then this would probably be the game for you. I have been waiting ages for a time management game to come and was quite eager to download this one.

If I had realised that i had already completed half the game in the free trial i would not have wasted one my free game codes on it. I personally would wait until it is on a daily deal to purchase it. I suppose i am just glad i didnt pay money for it. The levels do not get any harder and the levels are pretty much the same as the game goes on. Found it a bit amaturish. Really disappointed as i normally enjoy time management games. Show less
