I absolutely love the Fairy Tale twist on this game it's so much fun and the homes are just adorable, with vibrant colors and a great challenge. This is a fresh and wonderful change to this game it's unlike any of the others in the series. It's not that easy to get gold every time I've had to replay some levels more than once. Each town is unique in it's own way but staying true to the fairy tale theme and the game itself and there is some really cute humor in the game as well. The set up and game play are the same as the other Build A Lot's but the story and homes are different and just adorable. This is the best one yet in this series although all of them are great, but this one is the absolute best one yet. I was so glad to see this game go in a totally different direction all the characters, homes, and structures you build are so whimsical just like you would see in a fairy tale. There is lots to do in this one and all of it is so fun. What a great job this developer has done with this game. Give the demo a try it's definitely worth that and it didn't take me long into the demo to buy it and I'm loving ever minute of it and I'm sure I'll get many hours of play and fun with this one. Thank you dev's and Big Fish for this amazing and fun game. Keep them coming we want them, we play them and we love them.
I recommend this game!

This is such a great game and a collector's edition to boot this is so awesome. I'm so glad that this type of builder game is finally a collector's edition. There is so much going on with this game the graphics are awesome, the music is cute and whimsical, the colors are bright and vibrate. This is a builder game much like the MKFTP, and ROR you go around collecting your resources such as wood, food, and stones you have to build your buildings saw mill, rock quarry, farm and gold mine and some levels have special buildings to build, you also have to clear debris off of the road that is blocking your path. Then you have the bad guys that you have to get rid of and collect your rent the rent has to be collected by certain people and the bad guys have to be fought off by certain people there are power ups hidden all around along with jewels that you collect and you are able to upgrade all of your buildings to a level 3 and the quicker you can upgrade your buildings the better chance you have of completing the level quicker there are side task you have to do for some of the creatures that are lying in the road. The story is really cute your trying to restore your homeland and free the princess but not without fighting off bandits and monsters. There is a timer but you can continue the level after the timer passes the gold mark and if your not happy that you didn't get the gold the first time you can always go back and replay the level. Some of the levels you need to do some planning on in order to finish in time to get the gold and they can be challenging but they are always fun. There are a lot of awards you can win and there is a built in guide if you should need some help on planning how to finish a level. This is a awesome builder game and I'm so glad it's a collector's edition I absolutely love it the developers got this one dead on. Give this one a try I don't think you'll be disappointed it's a keeper and lots of fun. Thank you so much dev's and Big Fish for this awesome builder ce and I hope you will give us more we want them, we play them, and we love them so please keep them coming.

This is such a cool game ! You have to defend the island and not let the enemy make it to the castle. You build towers to fight off the enemy and they come in on ships and cannons and it's up to you to stop them. The towers can be upgraded so they preform better plus some ships when you hit them leave behind treasure chest that contain money or other helpful objects like mines and protective shields for the towers, cliff walls, rapid fire. You are able to use the money from the treasure chest to purchase upgrades and other stuff. There is also mini games that are really cool as well. This is a great game and what starts out fairly easy quickly becomes very challenging because the ships come from all directions and if you don't place your tower's in just the right places you lose the day because they do come in fast with guns a blazing. There are watchers which pulsate in red so you know where the ships will enter so you can place your towers. The graphics are really nice the music is your typical epic battle music and this game is just tons of fun it never gets boring and the islands are big and the enemies are tough. I bought this game only a few minutes into the demo and have not stopped playing it I absolutely love this game it's just so cool with all the things you can do and the challenges you face you also get achievements and there is a choice of playing mode private, colonel, captain and general so you can choose how you want to play. I think this game is just awesome and would love to see more like this and I hope there will be a sequel to this one it's just way too cool. Give it a try it's definitely worth the demo. Thank you dev's and Big Fish for this awesome game. HOORAH !

Wow this game is just awesome. This is something totally new for this developer and man did they ever deliver. It looks like a hidden object plays like a hidden object but it's not it's pure adventure no search scenes. You do however have to find stuff but not like usual no list this time. The graphics are really good the sound is good the game has that nice creepy feel to it that makes you wonder what's lurking around the corner. It is a deserted town and your passing through for gas and snacks and the little girl with you goes in the store to buy some snacks and never comes back and so it begins you have to find her but not only that you have to uncover the deep dark secrets of this town. There are real actors in this one and several different locations and lots to do with this one and the puzzles are really cool and the bonus content is really good it's full of goodies. It has everything you would expect from ERS all the fun and all the creepiness you want. I bought it right away and I think it's going to be a really long game and a total blast from start to finish. The graphics aren't the bright and colorful gorgeous eye popping graphics instead they are a little dark which fits perfect for this game and the time period the game is set in although they aren't the gorgeous eye popping graphics they are still awesome and just fit this game so well. I'm so glad I purchased this one it's one I wasn't dare going to let slide by. Give the demo a try it's worth that. Thank you ERS and Big Fish for this awesome new series.

Having played the entire game I must say that yes this is a beautiful game gave to us by a wonderful developer. I always look forward to games from this developer because they always give us something unique with their games but sadly not this time they only managed to fall in the same old same old category with this one. All of the game was a complete piece of eye candy what the game lacked was it's uniqueness and that came with the search scenes with this developer we always get the wonderful and fun FROG'S where you look for fragments for an object but this time we get the list how disappointing. Fragmented objects are very few and far between and they are so fun and this developer always delivers that they are one of the few that actually do those type anymore and I was so disappointed that this whole game was just a typical hidden object. The story the graphics the puzzles everything was dead on except for the search scenes. There were also just random pieces of things laying around in the scenes that you could pick up but actually couldn't do anything with them which really became annoying then there was the journal that would just jump out at you without warning every time there was an update in it. There were morphing objects which were hard to find because they actually didn't morph but were blended into the scene as if they were suppose to be there so finding them was a task in itself which became annoying and I simply quit trying to find them. Usually with this developer I hate to see the game come to an end although with this one I was glad to see it end because the uniqueness was gone and I didn't even bother to play the bonus game because I was so disappointed with the main game although it was good and quite enjoyable but the fun was gone and the game was just lacking in the umph category and that is because of the change this developer made with this one. Sorry developers although you delivered a gorgeous game that was fun I always look to you for that certain type of hidden object and that is the fragmented objects which we didn't get with this one. You went from a unique developer to a typical developer all in one game. I really hope this isn't the beginning of a new thing with this developer. Although I did enjoy the game and it was gorgeous and had beautiful scenery and some really neat puzzles and it was a good length but it ended up being beautiful disappointment. That is my feeling on the game but it's worth the demo so give it a spin. Thank you dev's and Big Fish.

I really liked this match 3 the graphics are good and it's a swap not a chain which I'm glad of the board is set up like those of Magic Match if you have ever played those only with this one you swap not chain which made looking at the board better for me. Your swapping resources to build your Citadel and you have to collect herbs for potions. It has some different game play in it with different goals such as surrounding a building with orange squares, moving chest etc. you also have to break through obstacles on the board as well and you have your power ups or spells that can help out. The building part of the game is awesome I love it you get to place the buildings yourself on the grid and you can stack buildings and join buildings together and your able to create your own Citadel the way you want to, also you can move them around or you can sell them back you really get free range of how you want to place the buildings and how you want them to work and that is what I loved about this game that part was so cool and the game play is very clever. You can played timed or untimed mode there are options for the cursor, and visual quality. This game really has alot going for it I've loved every minute that I've been playing my only complaint is there is a little too much dialogue but I can deal with that as well you can click through it. This game really surprised me I didn't think I would really care that much for it but I was pleasantly surprised with this one it has turned out to be one of the best match 3 games I've played in a while and I think some of that is due to the building aspect of the game it's interactive and just really cool. Give this game a try you may end up feeling the same way I did I was so glad I give this one a chance I haven't been disappointed and I have had an amazing time with it. I do hope to see a sequel I can tell alot of care went into the making of this game so thank you dev's and Big Fish you did a great job with this one.

I love this game and I've been waiting for it to get here. It's another great builder game similar to ROR, Legends of Atlantis, and MKFTP. You have been thrust back in time to serve King Arthur and bring him the living water. You have to gather your resources like wood, food, water, gold, etc. and you also have to chase off the goblins or they will steal your gold and scare your workers off if they see them same goes with the skeleton people a little further into the game. The graphics are really good and it has some really cute humor in it. The levels can be quite challenging especially if your trying to get the gold but if you don't get it the first time you can always go back and replay the level I've done that a few times with some of the levels. I love these types of time management games they are my absolute favorite and they never get boring even if there are a few that are similar they each have something different and special about them. This game has been a complete blast to play it's so fun and lots to do and the characters are just adorable. Give the demo a try if nothing else it's so fun. Thank you Big Fish for another awesome building game and please give us more we want them, we play them, and we love them so please keep giving them to us.

Wow I can't say enough great things about this game it's a total blast. It's your builder game but where this one is different is that it's a campground your building and not just houses. You start out building tents and work your way up to bigger and better campsites along the way you have different goals to meet with each level like clearing debris, building sawmills, adding gardens, hiring workers etc.. The graphics are absolutely wonderful the colors are so bright and pretty and just stand out. The worker guys are a hoot and run so funny. You have your daily goals to meet but if you don't get it the first time you can replay the level and trust me there were several I had to replay but I had so much fun with this game it has everything you could ever want in a fun building game that gives you hours of fun. These games have become my favorite in the time management games they offer so much play time and always have so much going on with them they never get boring. Give this one a try I love it and I think you will as well. Thank you Big Fish this is a great game that is fun from start to finish and one that has all the replay value you could ever want. Please keep bringing these to us we love them, we play them, and we want them. Thank you and give this one go everybody it may be the best camping trip you'll ever take.

This is one of the best building games I've ever played it has a little bit of everything gorgeous graphics, great story, adorable characters, great music and never ending fun. This is a building game where you gather your resources, clear debris, build sawmills, wells, mines and rescue villagers along with that this also has some match 3 and hidden objects thrown into the mix. You have your goals to meet and yes this can be a challenge the further along in the game you go but if you don't get the gold the first time around you can replay the level this also has a relaxed mode as well for those that don't like the timer. This one also offers power ups to help you meet your goals quicker also it has the fortune machine where you spin and click and see what you get it will give you extra resources either bricks, wood, water, and the sun is the wild card. The levels are fun and long and this is a lengthy game which is loads of fun from start to finish. I've played many building games but this one by far is my absolute favorite it has everything you are looking for in a great building/ time management game. This game is solid and has all the replay value you could ever want. This is one that will never get old and be just as much fun every time you play it. This one really stands out it's fun, challenging, and gorgeous it is the total package. Give this one a try I don't think you'll be sorry it's absolutely awesome. Thank you Big Fish for this wonderful game and please keep these coming we want them, we play them, we love them and this is one of the best.

WOW ! For a first time developer this game is dead on gorgeous graphics all around, beautiful story, cool puzzles awesome game play. Your trying to save your beloved from the ice queen and along the way you receive help from ghost that the ice queen has already taken. Everything is frozen and you have to undo the spell there are gorgeous hidden object scenes that are interactive the graphics are crisp and clear and fairly easy to find some can be tricky but not so that you pull your hair out looking for it. The puzzles are really cool some are tricky but all are doable. It's very easy to get swept away in the beauty of this game it is absolutely captivating one huge piece of eye candy throughout the whole game. There are no voice overs but that really doesn't bother me I look for the beauty in the graphics and the game play itself and this one gets it dead on. This is a new developer 4 friends and I must say for their first game watch out they could prove to be a force to be reckoned with great job 4 friends and I look forward too many more games from you, you have definitely picked up a fan here and thank you for this stunning and beautifully done game. Give this game a try it's well worth it and it didn't take me long into the demo to buy it and I'm so glad I did. Thank you 4 Friends and Big Fish for this awesome game.
