When playing level 45, I completed all of the tasks required, and, a green circle pops up, and the guys all run back to the start point. The game continues to throw rent, but everything else stops producing. I can't find anything in the help section.
It may seem easy and childish, but, have you tried messing with it? OMG Hire staff for a dollar a day and watch what happens. Hire many of them. Build your fair and then fire all but one of them. At a dollar a day it will help reduce your costs, and, you'll complete the levels sooner. I wish there was a sequel coming. Since this game has been out for what ten years now, I doubt it. Unlike the other, all of the amusement park games, you never make enough money to complete a level. With this game you do.
Got to level four in the demo. So, I guess that's something. Then lost the level. Waiting incessantly for resources to refill. Didn't feel like I accomplished much, at all. It's a shame really. The Roads of Rome series has been above average as far as time management games go. Normally when you play a demo you should feel like you accomplished something, and you progress beyond the tutorial. That won't happen with this game. I've been playing games since the beginning of computers. If this had been an Android game, I would have uninstalled it after the second level. Maybe next time the developers will think long and hard about how much resources are necessary, and how quickly they replenish.
YOU'LL GET 9 LEVELS IN AND YOU WON'T GET PAST IT THE LEVEL! It was fun for about an hour though. So. do yourself a favor. Download the demo, play it through and then uninstall it.
When I complete all of the objectives for level 112 the game gets stuck. The timer stops, there's a green circle where the crooks hideout has been destroyed, I can continue to make it rain, gather food. Is anyone else having this problem?

With almost every other match three game you make matched and move forward. Not with this one. You move the character instead of the pieces on the board, and you run out of matches very quickly.

It took me four hours and ten minutes, according to the timer, to complete the quest for the five keys. When I was done I wanted more. Game play and graphics were excellent.
I recommend this game!

Beware the code monkeys!" They either were not following directions, "don't make the game unwinnable", or nobody bothered to make sure it wasn't. After about round 60 or so I ended up waiting for the amulet to recharge again and again and again just to watch it blow up all of the pieces I didn't need to be blown up. The game then repopulates the blank areas with other pieces that impede or completely stop any forward movement in the game. After playing a round six or seven times I get too frustrated and close the game.
I only played the trial version, however, it was horrid. You don't have a chance against the enemy. You take 75% damage for every shot they land, and they only take 19% damage from every shot you land. You are also out gunned by 50%. You get four men that actually engage, they get eight. You lose after two moves in the first level.
