It might look primitive and slow, but it can be quite challenging. Make the wrong choice, take the wrong route and you will be stuck. You got to wonder Where can I get food? Where can I get lumber? And then worry about the rest. Let me tell you securing the food can be tricky
You have to be patient with the pace - my advice play Casual and do not worry about getting three stars...just worry about making it to the end.
More of a strategy game than TM. And frankly, too many TM are boring...
Love it!
I recommend this game!

Summer Adventure 4
Mary's family is on a new summer adventure. Complete amazing collections, clean up the clutter, solve fun mahjong puzzles and discover more puzzle fun!
I was ready to give it a good review - as a I found it light easy entertainment (we sometimes crave that)
But as the story came to near its conclusion I got the message "If you want to know how the story ends buy the Collector's Edition"
Sorry but that is tacky and dishonest. Just because we do not want extras does not mean that we do not want what we paid for - which is a complete story.
I am putting the name of this developer in my "never buy again" list.
Yes, the drawings look childlish, and the characters move slowly and jerkily. The objects are small and you need to really look.
But you got to think things through and come up with unique solutions (e.g. To get a piece of stone that is doing duty as a tooth if a stone mouth - over a stone nose) you have to find pepper seeds, growing liquid, grow a pepper plant, harvest a pepper, make the nose sneeze, and thus get the piece of stone)
The setting is truly imaginative - when I get in the dreamscape with its surrealist images I cannot help but love it.
You need to be patient with its slight technical difficulties but you will be richly rewarded.
I like mahjong and solitaries and also logic puzzles, but I do not like them too easy. And this is too easy. Mahjong, except for the flowers and seasons has only two of each - no need to guess which one to take. And you can pull a couple to a side... Same with solitaries...
Too easy. I guess if you are a kid you'll apprecate the easy game, but if you want challenge you'll have to look elsewhere.
I love the Hiddenverse games (I was put off when they put timed games - now they made them optional). And then we get a nice mystery that you can solve or not based on your decisions (I got it the second time)
The clutter games come with variations (like black and white and color versions side by side) heaps, silhouettes, moving objects, dynamite etc. etc. Then we have find the odd one out, or combine two to made the third, silhouettes, and find the ones that have nothing in common with displayed objects. There seems to be no end to the variations.
Best advice: Do twenty clutter games before going on to the story. You get more continuing action that way.
Along the way you have to make decisions. Some are important, some are not. The caretaker asks you if you want to listen to his story. Whatever you say, he will tell it.'
