This is a goodie, surprised that more folks have not played/reviewed this one. Like others here, I really enjoyed the flower-growing theme. Buying plants, baskets and water, selling bouquets if you're lucky, individual flowers if you can't make a bouquet from your day's growing. There are quests involved which, when completed, unlock your next farm to grow even more flowers of different types. A tycoon type game which also involves time management. And although your days earnings somewhat depend upon the speed at which you can pick and water your flowers, you can still move forward on your quests at a slower rate even when not clicking quickly. There are pests to kill, and a little dragon that helps you with your tasks. Very cute and enjoyable.
Buying, repairing, upgrading, selling and renting cars. Which makes this a unique game and worth an extra star. Although I enjoyed it for the most part, some tasks became very repetitious very quickly. I thought the cut-scenes were a little cheesy. Otherwise a game to definitely to take for a spin :)
Just clunky. The best thing I can say about this game is that the graphics were good. The least favorite of the building/repairing/upgrading games I've played here. For a new game in this genre, try "Sweet Kingdom".
This was a definite buy for me after only a few minutes of the trial. The graphics are beautiful, characters original, sound effects enjoyable. Building and upgrading, selling and buying resources. I always test to see if a game will let me continue on with a level after the "time" is up before buying - this one will. Highly recommended.
I recommend this game!

I enjoy most of the building and upgrading games, and this one is a real gem. The interface is very well laid out and easy to learn. Each upgrade you make is reflected in the appearance of the building itself - graphics are good and music is pleasant. You can earn anywhere from 0-5 stars based upon speed of completion of the level. There is no actual time limit, so you can continue tasks without the level ending. A real gem for fans of Green City as well as the Build-a-Lot games.
I recommend this game!

Green City provides the best of the building games I've played to date. You can play through the levels whether or not you beat the time constraints, and there is no "franticness" about it. There are several things to build besides homes and apartments here, and your area unfolds beautifully with the choices you have. Graphics are great, music is pleasant. A winner for builder fans all around.
Here you have a not-so-standard building game that includes repairs, exorcisms, and troll control! Nice little story line, great graphics and sound effects. A winner.
The graphics, sound, and entire concept of the game is stellar. This is *not* a time management game. You select your options from day to day, set them in motion and watch your business prosper or not based upon your choices. If you enjoy running a quirky and cute store with the supply/demand idea, original types of upgrades and advertising, side stories that will bring a smile... don't hesitate to get this one! And if you're on the fence about it, just give it a trial... enjoy, enjoy :)
I recommend this game!

Chocolatier
Elusive ingredients, high prices and conniving competitors make being a chocolatier more fudge-strating than you thought!

Truly an excellent game, the best on BF that I've found thus far. In fact, I liked it so much that I downloaded and sampled Chocolatier 2 and 3... and bought them right away. Love the buying, selling, haggling and - making chocolates! Great storyline, music and graphics/surroundings stay true to the time period (1800's). Can't say enough good things about this one. Awesome, superb!
If you want a run-around-and-collect-upgrade tm, this one is pretty good. Not much challenge to it, and I noticed that some of the later levels were easier than some earlier ones. Still, the graphics are nice, I personally enjoyed the music and enjoyed the fast movements of the collectors and the speed at which goods were reproduced. All in all the type of game you can put your mind on automatic to play... and sometimes that is very, very nice. Enjoyed it!
