The 1 hour demo lasted all of 22 minutes and it was so easy to get 3 stars...... - There is no score - Levels will end once you get the secret chest even tho you didn't finish all tasks and yet you get 3 stars. - The overall quality is so poor I'm very surprised BF is selling this poorly made game. - There is no strategy needed. - The levels didn't get harder, they actually got easier without any strategy planning. - The timer box actually blocks a required action on one level. What's up with that?? - At the top of the play field, when you move the curser over an action the popup will cover the action, what's up with that?? - This is a very poorly thought out time management game. It has the feeling that the devs wanted a quick buck. - If I could give it 0 stars I would. I used a free game coupon for this game. I want my coupon back! This is a horrible game and I can't even recommend it for beginners!

This game is today's daily deal and I played it dispite the "average" rating. I'm glad I did! This is not your average HOPA. The characters give you tasks to do to further your investagation into a wearwolf murder. Their attitudes and humor further my enjoyment of the game. Sometimes you have to make decisions, other reviews get into this so I won't. The visuals have a comical quality to them and I like it, for a change. I turn the music off so I can't comment. If you like to take your time and read what the characters have to say, like me, you will enjoy the game as I did. If not, then you won't understand the story as it unfolds. If you'e looking for something different that doesn't strain your brain then you should give Grimville:The Gift of Darkness a try!

I've played the first in this series and loved it. the second one i must have missed so i played the demo after i demoed this one and loved it. this game continues the story. i found the mechanics to be flawless, which is a huge plus!!! the HOS were interactive and can be changed to match three, the mini-games easy. interactive map which i love! scenery was beautiful, music ok but i keep it on low. morphing objects and puzzle pieces to find. based on the hour of play, everything made sense to me. that, in itself, is what makes a game enjoyable. difficulty can be customized and changed during play. this demo ended at a pre-set point in the game. i had 2 minutes left. i play leisurly, enjoying the scenery and story as i go. there are cut scenes as the game progresses to tell the story but they are quick and can be skipped. i'll be buying this game with the hope it continues as flawlessly as the demo and the puzzles get a bit harder.

i was suprised to see a SE come out without a CE before it. i had my hopes up as i've found stand-alone SE's are usually packed with goodies. this one is a standard SE. storyline is the best part of the game, imho. i found the mechanics to be inconsistant. sometimes i needed to zoom in to use an object, other times not. once, with the nutcracker, there was no magnifying glass to tell me i needed to use an object. just the grabby hand. HOS were junk pile and unimaginative. the use of items sometimes didn't make sense to me. i have a ladder, but couldn't use it to get to the lower balcony... said i needed rope but didn't need either to get to the balcony. why put it in? maybe in time there would be a use for that area but i didn't get that far. i needed to put a soldier in a nook where there was a balerina. what visual clue did i have to do that? i don't associate the two in any way. an interactive map is provided. it shows areas where actions are needed but all unfinished actions are showed, even ones you can't perform yet. i rely heavily on this function because i can't remember where i have to do something even though i can remember i need to do it. because of this flaw the jump map was useless. during the demo i found myself thinking, " not good, don't like this" way too many times. these games have come a long way over the years and the bar has risen. i won't be buying it so i cannot recommend this game because it falls short in too many ways. try it, you might like it even if i don't.

Please note the date I'm writing this quick review, ty. The scenes take 5-10 seconds to change. The HOGs are junk piles and small objects. The adventure is standard fare with no imagination. These three things make this game a non-starter for me... even at the Christmas special half off price.

What a wonderfully relaxing game this is!! This cute little game suprised me with the great variety of games, it's beautiful and clear graphics, and the impeccible mechanics.
I love the replay value.... all the mini games which include the level of challenge. I admit to skipping some sodukos and mine games only because they would take time away from the game as a whole. I look forward to playing them now that I completed the game.
Also, the different HOG's were quite unexpected and I loved them! What a difference it makes when there isn't a rush to get a better time!
The devs took a great deal of care with this game. It's apparent in every aspect. I look forward to a sequel and hopefully it will live up to this one

Based on 2 levels. I decided to buy this with a credit, even tho I barely got gold in most levels and wondered just how hard it would be?? After finishing the first level you buy the next level(which is rediculous!!) and then you can buy power ups to let you queue tasks, start the level with a building with a +1. It costs way too much!!!! You don't have your tasks in the corner so you have to click on the tab up top to get a reminder. side tasks give you just a few extra gems, or whatever they're called! I expected so much more from this developer than a game so hard no one can beat it! I used the video walkthrough on you tube for a few levels and still couldn't get gold........ one level was bronze. time mamagements are suppose to be about strategy but this game doesn't even give you time to think about it!!! I even tried pausing to think - still no good. I'll delete this game and hope the dev can do some kind of upgrade to make it a LOT MORE ENJOYABLE!!! I wasted too many hours on it....... I'll go play Moai for some enjoyment.

Many reviews precedes mine so I won't rehash. All i want to point out is that this game, while very good, is terribly short! The hour demo took me exactly half way through. Even at the DD price one more hour of play is not worth $2.99!! I don't rush, I enjoy the journey and check out everything. Real shame, the game had such promise!

Based on demo. Someone once wrote in his review of a game that it's time for tough love..... here's my bit of it. Standard TM game is pushing it a bit. It's the same old thing in a new skin. The voices are annoying so I turned the sound off along with the music. I rely on the sounds to know when the boosts are over so lack of sound detracted from gameplay. The bridges, flowers, campfires, fishing docks I found to be way too small and the buildings huge in comparison. Smaller buildings would make room for larger items. The graphics were okay; clear but small as I stated. I just finished Weather Lord and entirely enjoyed myself; new intriguing fun! I'm sure avid fans of this type of game will buy and recommend it but I won't and I don't!! I won't waste a coupon code either!!
