This is a technically challenging puzzle game.
You have to construct bridges using planks, wooden poles, stone, ropes and roofing. The challenging part is that you have to construct it using certain configurations of those items and within a budget constraint and to transport wagons of a certain weight. If you enjoy that kind of thing this game will give you hours of challenge trying to figure it out. I'm thoroughly entertained by it.
In the process you learn about the strength of triangles and to support your structure so that they don't collapse.
There are tutorials that pop up at the start of many levels that teach you the basics. Further there are solutions and guides available on the internet.
If you were someone who liked to play with toys where you build things or projects where you figure things out, or logic puzzles then this game will appeal to you and I would recommend you give it a try.
I recommend this game!
The turkeys revolted three years ago. Will mankind ever have Thanksgiving again?

If you've played Chicken Invaders before - this is of course a remake of number 4 with turkeys. The graphics are the best yet I've seen in any chicken invaders series and they've always had fun graphics.
If you've not played Chicken Invaders before -
This is a hybrid of space invaders and asteroids for the 21st century. You shoot and avoid the turkeys who fight back and at the end of every level there is a boss you have to defeat. The turkeys move in different directions and can come from all sides. You get different weapons and upgrades - if you can catch them in the game and you need the right weapon or strength for the right boss else you'll need to replay the level to have more lives or a stronger weapon at the end. There are three levels of difficulty, but the easy level is in itself challenging until you've practised a bit. It is a fast-paced game.

You can play with keyboard or mouse and choose to have music / sounds or not.
I personally have always loved space invader type games since I started playing them around the time computer games were invented and I find the chicken invaders games to be absolutely fun and enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

This is a puzzle game. You shoot in cubes from two sides to make a match of 3. It is easy to learn and has great graphics. There are different kinds of objects you can shoot into the game, not just cubes. There are tricks and gimmicks built in that are enjoyable.
This game is not very challenging if you just want to pass the level but will be tricky if you want to get a perfect score i.e. clear all the coloured blocks. However, it is timed and there isn't a lot of time and I think that is going to put some people off, it would also make it more difficult to get a perfect score because you haven't a lot of time to think about it, you'd have to keep replaying the level. As far as I could tell one cannot play on if your time is up.
I do feel that this game is better suited to a mobile target-market and not a pc market as I did not find it riveting or something one would want to play for hours on end like we do with most pc games, it is something fun to play when you're passing the time. I also suspect that it may be on the short side despite 120 levels as I played about 20 levels in 20 minutes.
I would recommend you download the demo, you'll play enough levels to get a feel for the game and decide if it is for you.
Hold back the Ancient Menace, before it's too late!

This game is ridiculously difficult and I absolutely love it!
There are so many tricks and gimmicks that makes it very challenging. There are lots of upgrades to buy and you choose what you want, the game does not decide.
This game is going to take a lot of strategy to beat and trying again with different upgrades or strategies. In other words it will take a long time before you are bored with it.
There are 3 modes of difficult and don't be fooled by the first one being called Easy!
What really amazed me was all the original types of characters you're up against with unique abilities - which would spoil it for you if I named them. They are original to me as I had not encountered them before in any game I've played myself which are mostly the garden-type tower defense games and this game takes that concept to a new level and is still fun.
There are also two different speeds which you can change which means you're never just waiting for them to walk through, in any event there is enough to do.
If you like tower defence games, this one is a great one!
I recommend this game!
