This is a very cute TM game that is great entertainment for young and old alike! A greedy wizard has stolen the 4 elements by casting a sleeping spell on the gremlins in charge of protecting the elements of air, wind, fire and earth. You will need to have the gremlins clear paths, chop wood, harvest food and gold as well as building huts and finding magic speed potions. The shaman is in charge of putting hex's on evil slime blobs and protecting the gremlins. You can choose relaxed mode with no timer but if you play the timed mode you earn flowers to dress up the characters. I really loved the 3D store where you try on outfits or different skin color etc. it's something you must see for yourself, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I looked at the game and I thought Oh no it's a another viking or so game but just after 10 minutes of playing this game I knew it was a great fun.
The characters are monsters, which was so nice change of the usual ones. The story line and conversation are so funny, normally I skip them but this time I enjoyed reading them.

I looked at the game and I thought Oh no it's a another viking or so game but just after 10 minutes of playing this game I knew it was a great fun.
The characters are monsters, which was so nice change of the usual ones. The story line and conversation are so funny, normally I skip them but this time I enjoyed reading them.
You can change Gremlings look, they look silly but it's another fun factor in this game.
It seems they copied many games like New Yankee in king Arthur's court , My kingdom for the princess, etc, but somehow they pulled it and made another great game.
I played only a demo and I bought the game and will have hours of fun. As I said it's nothing new or different from other TM games and still an excellent game.

I'm not bothered about this but for many others - yes you can play in relaxed mode and you can multiply your tasks or steps and click them in advance. You have to wait for monsters to bring the goods to their home however if they not carry anything they can go and do other things nearest to them which is great. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love this. It is just silly and fun. A complete cheer up game. I was in need of a stress reducer and this did the trick. A typical building and time management game but even though like others was really charming. Kids would love it but as an adult I did too. Levels get more difficult as you play with added tasks. A fun sidelight: you get to equip and dress your workers.

I recommend this game!

Apart from being elated that it's not another HOG, this is a cute little TMG where the characters have little antics and a variety of quips as you send them about their tasks. As you go along, the levels get a little harder, but you also unlock items and actions to use to update the characters.

TTT is a time management game and the 3D graphics are fabulous. While it could be said, been there, done that, you could say that about every TM game ever made because all of them involve gathering resources in some manner and building from there.

TTT is a time management game and the 3D graphics are fabulous. While it could be said, been there, done that, you could say that about every TM game ever made because all of them involve gathering resources in some manner and building from there.

This game requires gathering wood, food, and mana and building houses, towers/portals, etc. I really like the ability to accessorize my critters. I can only think of one other TM that I've played that allowed me to do that; Diner Dash: Flo on the Go. You can turn the critters in their new finery in a 360° manner to get a look at them from every angle.

One big pro IMHO is you can push the spacebar on your keyboard and see at a glance the various things you have available to do right from the beginning or need to do as you clear a path before you ever start the level.

Two cons is the inability to turn off the tips/hints and restarting a level within the level when you realize your strategy is wrong. Both ideas have already been broached to the developers as feedback and they agreed that both were good ideas to keep in mind for their future games.

I do like the story line and love this game. It's cute but it's challenging. I have several levels I'll be replaying to get the red flower so it's not an easy push over on the game play. You need a good strategy before you ever start a level. Show less

Wow ! What a fun and cute game this is and to think this one almost didn't make it here due to the graphics, are you kidding me ?! What a shame it would have been for this one not to get here because it is so fun and I'm so glad it got here. The graphics are really good very bright, and very detailed and this is just one fun and awesome little builder game and the longer I play it the better it gets.

Your building with gremlins and an ancient shaman who is their boss and this is something different for us and I love it. The little gremlins are really cute and I love to hear them talk it's a hoot ! This is a builder on the same lines of Northern Tales and the other builder games. You clear obstacles out of your way, gather resources, build different types of buildings and fight of enemies.

There are two modes of play relaxed and normal with the relaxed mode you can continue to play after the timer runs out with normal mode if you run out of time you have to repeat it to move on to the next level and with both if your not happy with what you did the first time you can replay it.

Your not collecting stars with this one it's flowers and the flowers you collect you can go to a little shop and dress your workers which I thought was really cute and fun but you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

This one offers a good challenge and you need to do some planning on some levels and before you start a level you can press and hold down your space bar on your keyboard and it will highlight which task are ready for you to do and they will be in a green circle but if there is any red in the circle you have to wait and do that one when you have more resources or workers.

The shaman can cast spells to help you out like harvesting food faster, giving you some extra speed and fighting off enemies. This is really a awesome little game and kudos to the dev's for doing this one you did a awesome job on it and I hope we'll see more like this from you.

Give the demo a try it's so very worth it ! Thank you dev's for this sweet little gem and thank you Big Fish. Have fun everybody. Show less

I'm rather sick of those cookie cutter "collect stone, gold and wood" time management games but always try the new ones in hopes of finding something different.

I'm rather sick of those cookie cutter "collect stone, gold and wood" time management games but always try the new ones in hopes of finding something different. This game isn't very different, but where it kept my interest was in its graphics and theme. The gremlins are pretty cute and the shaman troll is so funny when he dances on the altars. So was it ground breaking in its variety? No, but I did enjoy it enough to buy it.

I refute that its too short - its has a standard amount of levels. If you're a perfectionist going for all gold and have a day job so you can't sit a solid 4-6 hours at one game, then you'll find its a good length. Show less

There are a few things that can be done to improve the convenience of the game, but these minor things didn't stop me from buying it the moment my trial period was over.

The characters in this game are just way to funny. What a fun twist on the building homes games, which I love.

There are a few things that can be done to improve the convenience of the game, but these minor things didn't stop me from buying it the moment my trial period was over.

There is no "Skip Tutorial" or "Skip the Conversations" feature.
No option for replaying the game, you have to exit to the map and re-enter the game again.
Nor is there a "Options" feature within the game, you have to keep exiting until you reach the main page. Sort of a pain when you're trying to lower the volume bcos those creatures mantra when picking food, does become grating on your ears. So you need to exit a few times to get it just right.
The biggie is that the "cancel tasks" feature will not cancel the first task, only the other pre-selected tasks.

On the upside, the game switches windows pretty fast so these little things are easy to fix and didn't bother me that much.

Other than that, this game is a real hoot & that's why prompted me to buy it. Show less

I recommend this game!
