Totally in love with this. Yes I did love the aliens game also. This is so much fun. You just have to try it for yourself. I realize that it won't appeal to everyone. But, it is very interesting. The music is kind of film noir and totally fitting.
You are walked thru the first level so that you get the idea. Then after a few minutes you can use the magnifier to get a hint.
There are 45 main levels and then 20 more in the CE version. Hope they are working on the next game, can't wait.
I recommend this game!

I like that:
Don't have to click each box one at a time.
You can hold the mouse wheel down and drive over the open boxes without coloring all of them.
That the color spools at the bottom go away when finished
Mistakes show up at circles
The music, while repetitious, is soothing.
The puzzles have many colors in them, so they are all a bit more complex to color.
That there is no timer. Makes this relaxing.

Yes the colors are a bit dull while working the puzzle, but the completed picture is bright.
It did take me a little while to figure out that I didn't need to click each box, and when I did, then I enjoyed this game much more. I can hold the wheel button down and just swipe all over the picture. Of course, if you leave the cursor in one place too long it will click what ever is there, so I get mistakes. But they only last until filled in with the correct color.
Hope this helps.
I recommend this game!

Looks like they didn't actually play this game before releasing it. I only made it to level 4 when I uninstalled. When the food, etc. is produced in the building it lands on the ground then jumps. Has about 4 landing places where the item stops. This is odd behavior, but the real problem is when it stops behind the upgrade button for the building. I finally realized that I had not picked up wood for a while when I started to look for it I found it under the upgrade button. Not apparent at all. Why would you want to hide resources in a time management game?? Then on a later level the food hid behind the panel at the bottom of the screen. The food is a bottle with a cork showing. Well the edge of the cork was just above the edge of the panel on the bottom of the screen.
I don't know if they were trying for challenging or what but I really don't like to hunt for supplies.
The game starts out with the workers moving really slow. I know, a common complaint. At least they let you earn stars so you can upgrade the worker speed, building speed and time. This is your choice. I think they are lucky to get players to last long enough to get to the star usage.
I am not recommending this game at this time. I think they have some things to work on. I will be happy to revisit should they improved the resources hiding problem.
I don't recommend this game.

Thought I would give this new game a chance. I've tried some of the previous versions and didn't care for them. Now I remember why.
I was all in until the level where they asked for edible items. Apparently we have different views of what is edible when artichokes and fish were disallowed. I decided then that if the required items on a level were that ambiguous I was not interested. Make your own decision.
I don't recommend this game.

I'll start this by mentioning that I have all the Labours games as collectors editions. I think that the game developers are always under pressure to add new features and advance the games.
So far, this is based only on the demo length game.
Finding the puzzle pieces are actually easier to find in this game because of the banner that indicates the general location of the puzzle piece. In some of the previous games the puzzle pieces were very difficult to find. At least this way you have the general location.
So far the speed-ups are generously available. I also like the ladders to the extra locations.
Overall the gameplay seems to be a continuation of the previous game, with a few small tweaks. Which is the way I personally like to see games advance.
I recommend this game!

This game is like a cross between Rush for Gold and Next Stop - Both of which are my favorites. I really like the variations they have included here, like the small stations that supplement your supplies. This is just different enough to be very entertaining.
I purchased after only 6 levels. Like this game a lot.
Keep a look out for OWLS!

I really love this game. I purchased it after playing for only 15 minutes. One of the things that I really dislike about a lot of these games are the wait times for crops and buildings. This is a dream come true.
Crops take only seconds to grow. Building take only a couple of minutes to complete. I am on level 15 and have advanced to the point of having 6 different crops. The newest crop takes under 2 minutes to grow.
I find the story line interesting and though it requires that you create items, it doesn't take very long to collect the things you need for the next step.
I have not played the first Farm Tribe game, so I downloaded it and started it. Did not like it at all. It is very much like the virtual villagers. Do not let that stop you from trying this game because it is very different from the first game.
I like the fact that you do not need to 'drop' your worker onto a factory, he automatically goes where he is needed. There is no problem when you assign more work than you have workers for, because they finish what they are doing and go to the next job seamlessly.
The only thing I have found that could be considered a problem, is that some of the quests require multiple steps and it is not obvious. So you gather everything needed, collect your item and then it asks for it all over again. Huh, I just did that... So I think I missed where its multi-step or it is not marked as such. Not really a problem.
I am far from done with this game and you can tell I'm excited about a farm game where I don't have to go away for hours to wait for things to finish up.
I highly recommend this game!

This is very like the Hercules series. I like it very much. Some of the criticisms in other reviews are valid. Like the waiting for the money to build. I found that true but only on the first couple of levels. Otherwise you are kept quite busy.
Also, the click a second time on things is a bit distracting, because you think you have sent the guy off to do something only to find that it didn't 'take'. Have to do it again.
This game suits me, I am enjoying it. There is enough challenge that I have to replay some of the levels to get gold. Yet not so hard that you never get gold on the first try, but then I am an experienced TM player.
A definite buy for me. Don't know if it is worth it for the CE. Wallpapers are not my thing. Don't care about them. Sometimes I really like having a guide available.
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game, and I do. I agree that the level of creativity is higher than usual in this game.
However, there are entirely too many incorrectly marked errors for me to continue with it. I was watching carefully and did not make a mistake. I got an error when right clicking what should be an open space for that color.
When there are several blocks of one color and I am confident in it, I like to drag the color down. Well apparently that is a problem because I would often get an error for doing that. I am not going to click each individual square, so for me that is the killer.
This is an uninstall for me.

I expected yet another subpar nonogram when I downloaded this game. I was surprised to find that they have found a way to change up the standard 3 color game. They have added tiles with rock and water and bushes.
Some of the levels actually create a maze that you then run a marble through. Very clever.
Some of the levels use roman numerals (don't panic, if you hover over the roman numerals, they show the number). Again, clever.
This review is offered after only playing the demo, but this game is on my buy list.
One point that I would make, is that not all of the puzzles have the grid that marks off the 5 squares. Most of them seem to have this, which we are used to from the other nonogram games.
Overall, I like this game a lot. ( Based on the demo time)
I recommend this game!
