Great Graphics, Cute Story, Nice Controls. Great Replay.
This is not just a TM game. It is also a strategy game. Each Level has 4 parts. You play against a set number of moves for the first 3, then . . . the 4th part has limited moves plus the timer.

You can move on to the next Level without playing the 4th part and save that for later if you choose. The parts of each Level do get harder as you go. A tip I finally figured out . . . play the 3rd part again, prior to going for the 4th. This lets you plan your strategy on what to do.
Almost forget to mention you can queue up tasks. This is almost always a MUST for me.
You can also buy Upgrades. The 4th Levels give you the most experience points to spend.
Really enjoying the game. Hope they come out with a sequel.
Great job!
I recommend this game!

As I said in my Title, this one was HARD. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying it though. I will say IMHO, that this one is for Expert level TM players. It requires strategy and patience to play levels multiple times to achieve 3 stars. That does rate the Replay value as high :)
The game has a "click ahead" option - a must for me.
It also has an option to mute what I found to be some extremely annoying Characters voices. I figured this out about a third of the way through. It is in the Options under Sound
Each level has a Treat to find, some more than one.
Graphics are cute. Storyline is cute. Don't know about the music as I almost always mute it.
If you are up for a Challenge, and truly love the TM genre, this is an excellent game.
I recommend it for Expert players and advanced Intermediate players. Beginners will get very frustrated.
Looking forward to the next challenge in the series!

Finally, we have the 3rd in the Series!!
Fun graphics, nice controls, continuing story.
As another reviewer noted, it can be a tad difficult to figure out where to go and what to do at times. This is part of the fun of this genre. If you are patient, like to explore, develop your characters while you figure out things, and are not in a hurry to finish a game in a day or two, you will enjoy this game and the genre.
I recommend this game.

Even better than the previous games in the Series.
The Weather Icons are now all together at the bottom of the screen. No more running to the towers to get them.
Plan ahead option is still in - personally, I find any TM game without this to be extremely cumbersome
Graphics are crisp and clear
Instructions are clear, legible, and give one enough time to read them!
Not just a click and click some more game. Each level requires planning and thought. Many levels will need to be played at least twice to formulate the best strategy. I don't mind this. Adds to replay value in my opinion
Music was obnoxious to me, but I typically mute it, so don't let that deter you.
Cute characters and interesting storyline.

As the title says, it is a unique puzzle game.
The graphics are too cute. Sound effects fun. Can't comment on music. Good replay. Had to replay certain levels multiple times to beat them.
Game does have a "solve" button if one chooses to use it.
No timer.
This is a 98% strategy game. I say 98% vs 100% because on some levels, there are hidden items. Until you play the level, you have no idea what, if anything, is under the "stone" wall sections.

This was such a unique offering. Really enjoyed it. Hope more of this type and other unique puzzle games are offered.

Graphics very nice. Items large enough for those of us with tired eyes.
Sounds effects and graphics for machines were hilarious!!
Can change outfits and equipment layouts of all hospitals for variety and efficiency.
Great replay. Played it three times, as I like to get Expert on all levels.
Cute story line and fun characters
Can't comment on music, as I almost always mute.
Note: One does have to drag and drop the patients in the "old school" theme. I really didn't mind this.

If a sequel is made, and I hope one is . . . a few suggestions.
1. It would be nice to be able to rearrange equipment on the first level of each hospital. This is only available on the 2nd and following levels.
2. Would also be nice to adjust staff salaries on Level 1 of each hospital as well.
3. Would be nice to be able to increase salaries a little more OR perhaps upgrade equipment??
4. Having to hit the elevator floor number was a tad cumbersome in the later hospitals. Not sure how to improve that, as the player chooses which floor(s) to put each piece of equipment on.
Would still purchase a sequel even if it didn't have any improvements. It truly was a fun game.
Great job!
I recommend this game!

If you are a fan of the older style RPGs, and even the later ones, you will enjoy this game. If not, you feel most likely feel completely lost.
If you like to explore every nook and cranny, again, you will enjoy. If you want more structure and don't have the patience, you probably won't like it at all.
I thoroughly enjoyed it! Wish Big Fish offered more of these.
Fun, fun, fun. Graphics are old style. Battles along the older genre style (which I like). Cute story and fun replay.
Again, not everyone's cup of tea and I did play it quite some time ago. However, when I saw the low star ratings, I just had to write a review. This really is a fun game for those who enjoy the genre!
I recommend this game!

Finally, another Farm Frenzy that isn't "play for free" - yuk on the latter. Really enjoyed it.
This one is in the "old" style, or should I say the original format. Personally, I liked both.
New venue, new animals, and new products. New Achievements as well. The Buy 1,000 Pets was tricky.
Same great graphics. Very good controls. Cute story. Great replay . . . , especially if you're like me and want ALL the awards. Have played it through twice already.
What can I say? Loved it!!
Keep 'em coming and I'll keep playing 'em. I never get bored of these :)
Great job!!

It is sooo much fun playing a new Dash game.
At first I thought it would be too childish for us adults. Wrong!
Has all the fun of a Dash game and a cute theme with Sponge Bob. As with the original series, it isn't just drop and click. One has to use strategy to attain Expert level with chaining and color matching.
Good challenge and replay.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to get the second one too!
Hope they make more. I recommend this game.

I typically don't buy a CE unless I truly love the Series.
This one doesn't disappoint. Not sure what more i can add that hasn't been said already.
Great graphics, logical puzzles, fun items to collect.
Just an aside: Why do people feel they need to re-describe the intro to the game? I could understand this if the Developer didn't provide a snapshot, but that isn't the case with this one. Don't mean to take away from someone's enjoyment in reviewing a game. Just wondering??
I recommend this game!
