This is one of my all time favorites. Though I have to admit I am confused as to how this could be considered a time management game.
Basically you are running a potion shop. You have to buy ingredients to make potions, research new potions, set the sale price, check the forecast, advertise, research and upgrade. You have unlimited time to plan your day. Once your day starts there is not a whole lot you can do, but there are some actions available as you progress.
I find it to be a fun game and a nice alternative to true time management games where you rush to try to beat a time limit. I think it is more of a strategy game - balancing buying supplies, making upgrades, advertising, research, etc.
Overall it is a cute fun game. I find it has good replay value.
I recommend this game!
Put together the beautiful jigsaws included, or make your own new puzzles from photos or screen captures in Jigsaws Galore!

I've had this game a long time and saw it on the top rated games (not at number one) and thought I'd submit my review.
If you like jigsaw puzzles, you should love this game. The mechanics, options and flexibility of the game are far superior to anything else I have found.
1. You can create a varying number of trays to put your pieces in.
2.You can sort pieces by shape or color. And I mean really sort. I've seen games where "sort" merely scrambles the pieces into a new arrangement. This game allows you to really sort, so similar style are grouped together.
3.Number of pieces are adjustable. You can have just a very few, or I do a lot of mine with LOTS of pieces 1000 or more. All up to you
4. You can select the oddness of pieces, from normal to weirder shapes. There is even an option for "special" shapes, like ducks, etc.
.
5. You can add your own pictures to create new jigsaws.

6. Pieces can rotate or not.
7. You can adjust how sensitive the game is. You can set it where you have to place the pieces just so to where as long as you are in the area, the piece will snap into place.
8. color and style of background can be changed.
Overall this is a FABULOUS game. If you like jigsaws at all, give it a try.
Only negative: it will spoil you for other jigsaw games.
I recommend this game!

Barely any instructions or tutorial. It was just like randomly clicking two things to see if you could make something new. With a couple hidden object scenes thrown in between levels just in case we haven't seen enough of those already.
Couldn't even finish demo. Not fun and the only challenge is figuring out what is the point. Seemed really random to me.
I don't recommend this game.
Take a break for some mahjong-style tile matching in this unique puzzle game. Warning: you'll play for hours!

I really liked this game. I would totally buy it. Except for the moving background. The movement made me slightly nauseous and gave me a headache. If it had the a stationary background, this would be a definite buy for me, Unfortunately there is no option to change the background.
The only other negative is the little mini-game thing between levels. It's seems hard to win. You get 5 guesses and if on the 5th one you die, you lose everything you got until then. But this is minor thing and definitely not enough to keep me from buying the game.
I would definitely recommend. But I strongly recommend trying the demo before buying, just to be safe.
I recommend this game!

I am completely addicted to this game. I was not a big fan at first. But here are some thoughts, ideas and suggestions for those who might want to give it a try.
1. Be prepared to spend weeks and even months playing. If you are looking for a game to be finished in a day or even a few days, this will not be it.
2. This IS very much a strategy game. And it is long, long, long term strategy. There are things you learn along the way to help adjust your strategy.
3. My biggest suggestion is adjust your mind set. Don't look for quick fixes. Plan for long term goals, but focus more on short-term goals. I nearly gave up in frustration early on, but then changed my approach from hurry up get the pearls and finish the game, to what do I need most now. Enjoy the journey, don't get so focused on the destination that you miss the fun of getting there.
4. Graphics are great. Very colorful and visually appealing. Sound is mostly OK.
5. Story-line is cute, but minimal, particularly as you advance and things get more and more difficult. But it is fun and appealing.

If you enjoy farm type games like Ranch Rush, Farm Mania, Farm Frenzy etc, you will likely enjoy this game. What I like best is the casual/relaxed mode option. I used to be a big fan of time management, but maybe just getting older and more often want a relaxing game more than a challenging one.
I enjoyed the graphics, color, sound etc. Like the element of strategy. Fitting everything in the space provided can be a bit of a challenge.
Main negative is that after playing a few times through, the extended dialogue bits that come up a few times between levels cannot be skipped altogether instead of clicking next over and over. That said the negatives are pretty minor.
I recommend this game!
Shoot colorful balls across the level to match and clear like colors. Clear all the balls to complete the level.

If you are looking for a good puzzle game, that is not hidden object or other genre in disguise this may be the game for you. Not as simple as it may seem initially. A fun, interesting and challenging game.
I recommend this game!
