I failed to pay attention to the poor ratings and regret it. I liked the two games I found and thought for sure this just had to be as good if not better. Now after buying it and playing awhile, I see what the others disliked. The items to find are very small and well hidden in like colored backgrounds. Then there's the games that describe what you need to find, but word association many times left me wondering what they were thinking, even when I clicked a hint I'd have to wait for the line to refresh and have them show what the heck they were trying to describe. It's a colorful game, just not much fun.
I don't recommend this game.

The scenes change, of course, and the challenge level obviously becomes more difficult, but never does it become interesting. I kept thinking there has to be something about this game that got 4 stars out of 7 players, but darned if I could see it happen. I literally began falling asleep, probably because of the eyestrain alone. Save yourself the money and pass this one up.
I don't recommend this game.

Like others have said, the game has become a lumber loader and crashes at the end of each level. The workers move slowly. The good thing you can click forward, then have a sandwich or whatever. The graphics are poor. I could care less about a storyline, so that's up to you. Got to level 32 and found I was stuck right at the beginning. Came looking for a Guide and found nothing. So I have to leave the game unfinished and that really tics me off. I wouldn't recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a repost of an older game. It's ok. Graphics are good for the most part. Not so much fun as it occupys your time. As for storyline, that doesn't mean a thing to me. It's all about keeping my interest and enjoying the game. Good games have been few and far between lately, so I guess I'd give this a 5 out of 10.
I recommend this game!

I've played nearly every one of these. They started out being too easy and too short. As time goes on they added the difficulty factor, not so much by making the game harder to play but harder to see by blurring and blending to the point it causes eye strain if played for any amount of time. I have to stop playing(?) when I feel my eyes pulling together and fear I'll remain permanently cross eyed for the rest of my life. Then there's making the game last longer by adding so darn many in game puzzles that have become a total annoying bore I'd rather wait the in game time limit out. I find myself wondering why the heck I'm sitting here going cross eyed and eating too many snacks while waiting for the ingame time limit to pass before I can play another eye crossing game... in other words, it isn't worth it, imo
I don't recommend this game.

I don't believe I have ever tried a game so brain numbing boring. It's basic construct was gathering. Did this ever get into anything other than gathering food and supplies to turn around and gather more food and supplies? Apparently the only challenge in that would be to get'er done under a certain time limit. Seriously? Is this what game are being designed for? So for those who don't wish to play under time limits has the repetitive function of gathering, then gathering, then gathering. It doesn't matter how great the graphics are, the sound is or any other part of it. A game is meant to be worth paying for. This one and too darn many others are not worth the money. They are not entertaining at all.
I don't recommend this game.

That's the last time I buy a game based on stars given. The game started out ok, but soon became tedious and boring. From one level to the next, it's the same thing over and over. The only thing that made it a so called challenge was the game creators decided to restrict colors needed to complete the level. At the end of each completed game level, you win 1 start.
That 1 star is barely worth the time and increasing frustration at the reduced color matches given you. I could go on but suffice to say, the game in no way was worth the money. Just a quickly thrown together knock off of a Match 3
I don't recommend this game.

At first I thought it was great, until in order to finish we had to keep redoing the same site again and again and again and again.... each redo had a slightly different twist and most of the '
twists' were out and out annoying, not to mention stupid. Lost the fun factor quickly.
I don't recommend this game.

It's just another Step And FetchIt. Why it's called Time Management is beyond me. All you do is gather whatever there is in a path. There really is no skill level. I like Time Management but all we're getting are these, Match3 or Hidden Objects. There really is no challenge. The graphics are colorful. This is more for children than adults with gaming experience.
I don't recommend this game.

When I saw how many stars this game rcvd, I thought I'd give it a try. It's just another boring "step and fetch it". Granted I didn't play very long, but for me, these games are boring as all heck. All we do is click what needs to be gathered and then wait for it to be picked up, then click the next thing to be gathered and wait. Usually getting further into the game means we also have to wait even longer because it takes more time for resources to renew. It would be nice to see something other than Match 3, Hidden Object (I hate), or supposed Time Management that takes no skills that are more meant to be a childs game.
I don't recommend this game.
