I loved playing this very challenging game all the way to the last room, where I got stumped. Checking in online walkthroughs, they all say to take the red and green peppers AND THE BLUE GEM BEHIND THEM. I played through the last chapter twice and both times there was no blue gem so, I am trapped in the room. Very disappointing.
I recommend this game!

Love, love, love this game. I just finished playing through the three originals recently for the third time so, I couldn't believe there was a new one available. Ditto on the comments about playing this like visiting an old friend. To the Lonely Troops developers, please keep these games coming. They are so unique and so great. Thank you!
I recommend this game!

I haven't finished the game yet but am enjoying it so far. In fact, I'm enjoying it enough to play it through to the professor's house twice. Here's the "gotcha". I went into the professor's house (Chapter 3) without picking up one of the snake heads and got stuck in there. You need all of the snake heads to open the door once you're inside but, the game allowed me to go in and get trapped without having all the heads. I had no way of getting back out so had to restart and replay up to that point, making sure I had all the heads before going in.
I recommend this game!

I play a lot of TM games and really enjoy the Argonauts Agency series - except for this one. By level three on NORMAL mode, I was struggling to get three stars. After trying the next few levels numerous times with various bonuses, I finally gave up this game in frustration. Don't waste your money on this game, there are plenty of other good ones out there that are challenging but can actually give you the satisfaction of achieving three stars.
I don't recommend this game.

I normally love the PuppetShow games but this one was, by far, the worst. The puppets, which are normally the best part of the game were flat and completely un-animated, the standard characters like the spider-legged doll head were almost never seen and THAT ENDING! What was that??!! Did the developers miss a deadline and just decide to end the game in the middle??
I don't recommend this game.

I have played and replayed Adelantado over and over because it is such a great game so, I was thrilled when I saw this one. It's from the same developers (thank you!!) and it combines the best of the Adelantado series with the best of games like Roads or Rome or the Adventures of Hercules. Just finished playing the game and I plan to play it again. Can't wait for Season 2!
I recommend this game!

I had high hopes for this game since I LOVE the Hercules series but, this interface has the completely annoying requirement to mouse over resources after you produce them to pick them up. It's enough to complete the assigned tasks without having to constantly scan the screen to see if there is gold/food/wood just sitting there waiting to be picked up. I only played three levels of the demo before getting frustrated with this and giving up.
I don't recommend this game.

I have played the other Labyrinths of the World games and very much enjoyed them. This one is so annoying with having to be so precise with the cursor placement and games and puzzles that DO NOT respond properly - even when you're doing exactly what was expected. I finally got so frustrated with this game that I gave up before I even finished it.
I don't recommend this game.
An awesome combination of word puzzles, adventure and charm. Help Nagi island-hop his way through unknown dangers.

This looks like a "scrabble"-like game but you can place tiles anywhere, lining up tiles that don't even spell words. Sure, these don't count toward your goal but, still, at least allow only actual words like a crossword puzzle. Thomas and the Magical Words was a much better game in this format.
I don't recommend this game.

Love this game. It adds a great twist to the Time Management genre. I agree with others who wonder why folks are complaining about no instructions. The goals and how to get them are pretty clear. This is a challenging game to get gold time on but, if you puzzle through it and use logic to figure out the order to do things in and which ships to upgrade and which to pass on it can be done. In fact a big part of the fun is figuring out the tasks to take on and the ones to say "no thanks" to.
I recommend this game!
