I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I feel this game was misjudged. The complaint others made of the slow workers is actually a nice feature of the game. As you progress you can allocate "stars" to improve your speed and time. I never listen to music on these games, so that is moot for me. The graphics are just average, but I enjoyed the strategy factor. I had fun completing the game. I'd give it a 3.75 stars if I could. Well worth it for a 2 for one sale.
I was so excited to see a new VV game. I've played the others more than once. At first I was incredibly happy to start playing. No upgrading on graphics etc, but I was okay with that. My biggest and what I consider unforgivable problems with this game are: 1. They took away the speed choices. This leaves you with " how slow can you go without doing anything syndrome". 2. They took away the multiple game option. I used to enjoy playing more than one game at a time so I wouldn't get bored waiting. 3. Its more difficult to move characters around. 4. BIGGEST PROBLEMS!! First is the availability of lavastones. What, do you have to play for a month to earn enough lavastones to buy the next craft basket?! Finally, the bane of this games existence which started out fun, but now has me ready to quit ---- The CRAFTING process. To move forward in the game you are required to craft items, often from crafted items. The items I need now are taking 4, 5, 8 and 12 hours!!!! And you need multiple items to meet puzzle requirements. So if I want to play for an hour or so in the evening, forget about it. Pretty much all I can do is craft one item and then I have to wait until the next day to craft another item and so on and so on. Not fun at all.
