this game was generally fun. i played the whole hour trial and enjoyed it mostly. there is a very obvious eco theme which honestly felt more like an eco agenda guilt trip laced with anti-capitalism sentiments, the story parts actually seemed a little eco-preachy lol. the gameplay was much like build-a-lot so if you like those you'll probably enjoy this. i was a little disappointed that the tents and trailers don't actually look any different after you upgrade them...what makes something a 3 star vs a no star if you can't see any changes? just a star outside? pretty much. otherwise the graphics were attractive and i enjoyed playing this game for the full hour. not bad for regular price but i'll probably wait for a rainy day to pick it up. fun but not a desperate must have game.
I recommend this game!

i saw this and thought "really???" and then i decided eh i'll give it a try anyway, maybe it will be enough like plants vs/ zombies that i can make do. it wasn't. the premise was bad (shannon protecting her rockstar husband from groupies...seriously, there are still young/any women after gene simmons?!?! come'on -eyeroll- ). the "music" was redundant and hideous. the game is sooo slow in that it takes a long time to get new units to use so you'll end up playing 2 or 3 levels that are pretty much identical. the graphics are meh at best but i gave that quality rating only a 1 mostly again for the terrible sound, i could have lived with the graphics had anything else in this game been worth the bother. this game is a desperate fail at what i can only assume is a very poor attempt at self promotion. i really doubt adult-movie stars are where you should be headed for game ideas big fish. i played the whole trial time because i really wanted to give this game a fair chance to get better. it didn't, save your money or at least wait for it as a DD.
I don't recommend this game.

while not breaking new ground, i thought this game was very cute and fun. the graphics were cheerful and the levels had interesting visual elements that i hadn't seen in this type of game before. i also liked that you could purchase upgrades. my only real complaint is that the difficulty level wasn't very high. this game would have been better if you could choose a difficulty setting or make it more challenging in some way. otherwise it's a pleasant way to spend some free time and would probably be very appealing to families.
I recommend this game!

this game was so cute and fun i loved it! the graphics while simple were very colorful and cute. the challenges were sometimes very tough but i like that! this game made me thing and use strategy to get to the end and was well worth the purchase. i played for several hours, some of the levels took me over an hour, luckily there is a save feature so you can come back later to the one you were working on.
basically you have to get a group of bugs from point a. to point b. there's no real story to mess up with spoilers here so don't worry i'm not going to ruin anything for you XD you have a level which is a picture full of random doodles and your tool to move the bugs is a pen with a limited amount of ink. you move your bugs up down over and under the doodles (or sometimes using the doodles to contain your bugs) and try to get them to the honey pot. some of the boards have "poisoned" areas to avoid, one of the doodles has a timer that indicates when the doodle will be rotated causing all your bugs to fall to the other side. it is definitely a challenging game.
i gave this game 5 stars because:
-i was instantly hooked
-cute fun graphics (thought the bugs were adorable!)
-challenge level was great
-save feature
-free play make your own doodles feature (sandbox basically letting you create your own doodles for the bugs to climb on)
-zoom feature that allows you to get up close for those tight squeeze areas
-balance of fun and easy to challenging and hard levels
-replayable (i will definitely be playing this one over again!)
-fun for all ages (you may have to help younger children with some levels, but there are plenty of levels kids would love, my kids sat with me making suggestions and commenting on how cute everything was so i'll be letting them play as i think it helps encourage problem solving skills).
