I have had countless hours of enjoyment playing this game. I love a game that I have to play a level multiple times to figure out how to get 3 stars and this is one of them. A great mix of speed and strategy. I'm actually so sad to have finally beat all the levels--now what am I going to play?

I recommend this game!

This game is good and challenging - makes you think a bit. Wish there were more time management games that were challenging. Could even be a bit more difficult

I recommend this game!

I really like TM that challenges me, and this one does it. Don't let the simple graphics fool you, this game will give your mind a work out.

We really enjoyed this game...and the reason I stated challenging is you really have to employ strategy to get through some of the levels.

The music is well done and the artistry is superb. It was a pleasure playing this game where I had to use some intense brain power to get through each level...I really liked that feature.

I am looking forward to the next one they develop and hope its as good as this one or even better !!!

It was a no-brainer when I purchased this game after viewing 5 minutes of the demo...it definitely is a fun game to play !!! Show less

It's a beautifully made game and it's very challenging the further you go but part of that is stopping to collect resources before they disappear in a few seconds and the items don't pick up instantly, sometimes you have to "wave" over it again. If you've got lumber, food and several houses that are spitting out items, that's basically all you have time to do. I'm not very good at this genre ...Show more

It's a beautifully made game and it's very challenging the further you go but part of that is stopping to collect resources before they disappear in a few seconds and the items don't pick up instantly, sometimes you have to "wave" over it again. If you've got lumber, food and several houses that are spitting out items, that's basically all you have time to do. I'm not very good at this genre anyway and I find this kind of frustrating.

There's no untimed play although you still get one star no matter how long you take. The narrator's level of enthusiasm diminishes with each loss of star so it felt like she was disappointed in me. DON'T JUDGE ME, GAME!

You expert players would probably love it though and it's well worth a look. Show less

I actually bought the CE version of this game and gave it a fairly mediocre review, but the more I played it, I realised it was really a very good offering and became quite addicted to finishing it.

Gameplay is a little like Royal Envoy, "build, upgrade, collect" You get blocked by ghosts that prevent you getting to your production buildings until you have enough grace to get past them, A bit like "happiness" and you increase your income by upgrading or improving your houses. You also have to hire workers etc.

It doesn't have much warmth in its animation, so the "fun factor" is not as appealing as in some TM games, but the challenge itself is a lot of fun once you are in to the game past the first few levels. I found myself sometimes repeating levels a few times.

(just a note...after you become very determined and repeat the levels more than ten times or so..the timer seems to become a bit more generous. I don't think its just skill? And yes it got me that determined to beat it!)

It has become one of my favourite games after all. Show less

I recommend this game!

I bought the CE version and I'm not finished yet.
Really my average, after level one, is one star, which you get even if you do not finish in time.
There is some strategy, which I like. I have had to restart many levels.
I have humbly or humiliatingly gave up by the second section on getting more than one star. It was imposable for me. I needed 6-8 minutes not 4 or 5. Example... I can get 3 ...Show more

I have humbly or humiliatingly gave up by the second section on getting more than one star. It was imposable for me. I needed 6-8 minutes not 4 or 5. Example... I can get 3 star on Royal Envoy every time.
It was just fun and made me think, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Enjoy! Show less

Well, after months of poor games, finally a good TM game!
TM games are much of a muchness nowadays, with nothing really new, and neither is this. It's building houses and facilities, collecting food, etc, but it does it well. It's not a click-fest, and the graphics are quite good.

You do have to think what to build next and what to collect in order to complete the level, and I can't get 3 stars on most levels, so it is a challenge.

An enjoyable game, and I had 6 tokens to use due to the lack of anything decent, so this was a definite buy. Show less
