In the tiny kingdom of gnomes the king built a massive garden for his people to enjoy. Every year on his daughter's birthday, the king declared a holiday and gnomes from all corners of the kingdom came to visit the beautiful garden. After a very dry summer and a harsh winter, his garden began to suffer, as did the king who fell ill and became bedridden! The princess set off on a journey to collect magical seeds to restore her father's garden.

Although there isn't really anything new in this Time Management game, it has really good graphics, obtainable tasks with a nice variety. There are the usual tasks of collecting resources, clearing paths, repairing roads and building bridges. There are sawmills to build, quarries, firemen's houses, farms, and sorceresses houses to construct and upgrade, and there's even a market which allows you to exchange some resources for others that you may need. You can upgrade housing to accommodate more workers to help you finish the level within the time allotted to earn up to three gold stars per level. (There are 49 levels total)

Each level has a special task to complete, which usually requires building a specific building or gathering enough resources to complete the goal. The Sorceress can plant magical seeds, or cure withered trees, but she has to have a humble abode first to reside in, and you have to collect enough crystals for her to work her magic. Once seeds are planted by the sorceress, the fireman has to water the plant to make it grow, but of course he needs a firehouse built first. You might have to build a stone quarry to produce enough stone, or a sawmill to produce enough wood in order to repair beehives, or construct a gnome version of stonehenge.

As you progress, you will earn magical abilities that can be used to speed up workers or get more resources, once you use the bonus, you have to let it recharge before you can use it again. There are 23 Trophies or Achievements to earn and you can choose the option of No Tutorial, otherwise you will play the first few levels with an automatic tutorial. Any level can be replayed as often as you want, to try for a better score, there is a time meter on the right side that has three stars, if the meter dips below the first star, you will only receive 2 stars for the level, and so forth, however you are still able to complete the level and continue with no stars, if you want to play the game with no timer worries (I saw no option available otherwise) Other than a couple of typo's, the game runs flawlessly, has an interesting adventure story and best of all, it's fun to play, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

I have always been hesitant to play TM games. I decided to try this one and after 5 minutes of playing the demo, I was hooked and knew I would be purchasing it.
The story is cute. You can't skip it, but there is a "next" button to advance the story.
I was very impressed with the graphics. They are crisp, clear, and colorful.

Easy to learn for children, but seems challenging enough for adults.
I love it! Now I will not be so hesitant about trying TM games. Show less

It's about time Big Fish got this game. I love this game. I played it on I win first and could not wait for Big Fish to get but I did and now I am going to buy this one also. I love playing these games because I love building, collecting and seeing the results on how I do. Keep getting these game and not so many Hidden Games Big Fish. Thank you.

I recommend this game!

i admit that i am really into tm/strategy games, i buy almost everyone i try. this is a good one. i enjoy watching the little people running around doing my bidding. the graphics are clear and pretty. you can cue up a number of tasks at a time, as long as you have workers and resources. the levels get more difficult as you progress and i wasn't able to get 3 stars on the first go after level 13. ...Show more

This is a nice game. You cant play without time but you can keep on playing when the time runs out.
The levels get harder with more to do as you go on in the game. The little green men are a pain in the butt and you need the fireman to keep them away

I recommend this game!

I love the TM games above all. This one is challenging enough to make it fun not stressful. The little guys run like crazy to build etc. If you like TM games give it a try. Much like the My Kingdom For the Princess and Winters Tale.

I recommend this game!

such a pretty game

the colors are primary
like living inside a coloring book

the sounds are gentle tapping when building
and tippy tap footsteps
not bang bang bang

the music is pastoral and soothing
it fades in and out
instead of a constant droning

the end of a level
brings wide sparkly glittery fireworks

pleasant game

Like the game Brownies just before this one came out, the game is visually fun and the sound effects and music are good. The game plays like a traditional TM game, but the extra players like the sorceress and the fireman add interest. Fun game and was a buy as soon as I finished the demo.

I recommend this game!
