I was among the many who weren't able to continue because of Level 10. It has been repaired & I've just finished Level 40 w/out any more glitches. It's another enjoyable game by Big City Lab. I can't wait for the next game in this series. I always play untimed so there wasn't the challenge that is faced by players who prefer timed. Also, it's not dark & violent as some games. Relaxing game for unwinding & stress relief.
I recommend this game!

A lot like other travel HOG games however there are a few different mini games & some we're used to seeing. Just a good way to relax. Other reviewers have offered their opinions & I agree. I did turn off the music however there is still the sound effects & that is OK. Be sure to try it, it might just catch your fancy.
I recommend this game!

I've always enjoyed this series however this story/series w/b my last. For the mini game of 16 square tic tac toe & all the other mini games, there is no "skip" button. Maybe it's just me, however there were reviews under CE edition that also noted the tic tac toe mini game. Please developers give us "old" people a "skip" button. If not, this w/b adios for me. Except for this, I did enjoy the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Almost didn't try it, but thought what the heck. Yes, it is like the Rescue Team series, but it is different as the bldgs. need product/raw mat'l. to work. 1 bldg. is a dog food store because the dog needs food to work. Yes, you need to keep bldg. & destroying bldgs. to get thru a level. The negative is that they don't give you the "finish" or "replay" automatically. I've played the "Crown of the Empire" series from 8 Floor Games & this is so different. Always try the demo, you just might like it.
I recommend this game!

Along w/so many others, I was happy to see another in the Gnomes Garden series. While playing I did feel as though I was playing another in the Crown of the Empire series. Game is enjoyable however I am unable to deal w/the raccoons same as the others. I tried 3 times, no joy. If the developers would fix it I would like to finish it otherwise, I do not recommend this game as is.
It’s never been easier to get into painting! Avoid purchasing expensive painting supplies and making a mess.

I'm so pleased that there is a 3rd "Paint By Numbers" game. The "paintings" are quite pleasing AND if the player needs to leave before their "painting" is done, it is SAVED! Yes, I know the background can be difficult at times & that it isn't always easy to find that last area or 2 to be painted, but the player can always go to the next color or use a hint. As w/any game, one size does not fit all. Try it 1st, that's what so great w/the free trial.
I recommend this game!

The developer must have read my mind. I really enjoy the fact that so far all the "boards" have been different shapes. I also like that the number to be "colored" is the ONLY number that is dark. They also advance the next color screen after all colors on 1st screen are finished. I'm still on the 1st "Item" in the list of 5, have to make myself stop after a couple. I certainly hope there w/b more coming in. Again, 1st try a game before buying it. BTW I'm loving all the animals I've done so far. Enjoy.
I recommend this game!

I understand why some players were less than happy w/this game. Yes, it is the standard Time Mgmt Game doing the same thing as others however this is telling the story of a young girl who was bored w/the book. In her dream she discovers what the story really is. I've not gotten too far but I'm enjoying it. As w/any game, 1st give it a try before buying. The only "con" I have is that the player doesn't know what level they're playing so they can make notes. BTW WHO is casting a shadow in Wonderland, don't you want to know? lol
I recommend this game!
Celebrate Halloween and visit the spookiest places in the world, complete tricky nonograms, and have fun with the Walker family!

I always enjoy the "Travel Mosaics" series as they tell about each location, interesting tidbits. For Halloween they did it differently. I already knew of some places, but others I did not. Yes, some of the puzzles at the end of each location are difficult so I just pass on them. BTW, the flying bat only occurs on the 1st location. Give the game a try, you just might like it. It is Halloween after all.
I recommend this game!
Painting has never been easier! No need to stress about what color to choose, just relax and enjoy!

I'm still enjoying the differences between Pixel Art & Paint By Numbers by this developer. Yes, this is different from the Pixel Art series. This is a Paint By Numbers as on a canvas or a Stained Glass crafting kit where a person can only apply paint w/in the soldered areas. This a a change of pace from Pixel Art & they have a "Hint" button if needed. As w/any game, give it a try as you just might like it. One size does not fit all. lol
