It is a comforting click-to-paint game, not at all challenging. You scroll with right mouse button pressed down, zoom with the wheel or + and -. Once a color is used up, ut will automatically move to next.
A word of caution: I tried this game out first and accidentally chose a picture that was among the bigger ones, so it timed out before I could save or finish (around 78 % done). As I enjoyed it, I made a purchase and first I was happy that my progress was saved, but then I realised that the percentage counter was reset to 0. So now the puzzle is completed, but stays at 22% on my screen, it is not marked complete and I can do nothing about it apart from re-installing the game. That is REALLY annoying and killed my mood, as completion is the only real goal here. Seems to only be an issue if it times out during test though.
I love the Rescue Team games, one of the best Time Management game series I know. I love the challenge and the variation of them, although I have found the latest versions a bit uninteresting story-wise.
This is a whole new take and seem to get many negative reviews due to that. I was a bit nervous to try it out as I am a casual gamer myself. But I do not think it takes THAT long to get in to it, I played the full demo and was fully emerged into it and would have bought it directly if I just had that extra credit ready (coming soon).
What I really enjoy with this game is that is a completely new challenge of playing. The levels are much larger and more open - but you can actually stop, save and come back another day.
You also need to plan and choose building placements much more than you are used to, and to get full marks on a level is a challenge and takes a bit of time.
What is GREAT is that you do not have to run and collect things, that is a chore I have never enjoyed. I felt like I made less repetitive clicks.
I really had a great time with this demo and when my time ran out I continued with the latest standard Rescue Team game and suddenly it felt a bit flat in comparison. I obviously got back into it again after some levels (it is still GREAT) but I am really looking forward to buy and continue to play this one!

I enjoy playing farm games from time to time, and was happy to see a new one, it has been a while. Unfortunately I only lasted three levels though, then I uninstalled it again.
The graphics feels dated to begin with. I did not find any options to change it either.
Then we have the game play. It is just really annoying in so many aspects! You have to double click on EACH field to plant something for example. This gets very annoying fast already in the first levels.
Then for the animals it gets even more annoying. Each pen can only hold one animal and as soon you have milked a cow it DISAPPEARS and you have to put a new calf in the pen and wait for it to grow up and produce milk and so on.
Same goes for the employed staff, seems you have to rehire the people each round.
With the amount of great farm games out there I am not wasting more time on this one.

I adore this kind of time management games and was excited to see yet another version, although Vikings already has been done a couple of times now.
Unfortunately my excitement died down after realising that stacking of tasks is not possible. I can live with that if the rest of the game play is fun though, so I kept on playing, hoping for some other excitement.
Generally for these games there are two ways of collecting rent and material etc. Either it is created automatically and you need to click or hover over to get it, or you have characters that work as collectors. This game however has a merged version of these two, which means that you first click on a house to send the tax collector there, THEN you need to click on the money pile when it appears after a while. For me this is just stupid and annoying.
I had no issues finishing in time on the levels I tried, but I had no desire to carry on playing and left the game after a short while. I did not see anything out of the box in this game and the collecting part just got me angry. There are so many better TM games out there.
