I really tried to like and enjoy this game but oh dear.It was very slow and I had difficulty reading what was on the build boards however it was such an easy game to play and absoluitely no challenge for me. Now the strategy guide you need a magnifying glass to see it, way too small. The constant snow falling was very off putting which combined with everything else gave me a headache. The extras for a CE are diabolical, what warrants paying twice the price for this? I am sorry to be so negative but could not find anything I like.It may suit others but not me
I don't recommend this game.
Test your puzzle-solving prowess by blasting through these unique boards!

Believe you me I have tried with this game and I enjoyed the first game but then it is the same old thing over and over again.Please developers either shelve it or clear it or add some interest to the actual game. Would I go in to a shop and buy the same book seven times over just because its had a couple of words altered, no I would not and neither would most others.. I like that you can start with as many different colour balls as you like to make it harder but so could most of the other gameas in this series. Just by adding a few puppies on the side is not good enough in my opinion. It is the game that needs a re vamp, so please revamp it or clear it
I don't recommend this game.

I know a mass of people love hidden object games and I also have just realised this is not really a hidden object game but because when I hovered over it it came up as a HO I ignored it as I am not a fan. My choice I know but think in future I will investigate a bit more. I so love this game and will for sure be buying more. the extra puzzle sections are so appealing to me I am in my element with this game.
I recommend this game!

Had this had more extra in it for a CE then it would have been 5 stars but had to knock one back for the fact it has less levels than all the previous games which were all standard games yet cost twice as much. Finding the hidden objects is a nightmare and takes too long .In my mind it certainly is not worthy of a CE but enjoyable none the less. How long before the SE comes out is anyones guess ?
I recommend this game!

Well this could have been very good but unfortunately it does not recognise some words. Kept entering words which were simple English and it does not accept them so then I die. The concept is good and gets the brain going but it needs refining. You need to type in as Many correct words out of the letters given in order to beat the enemie and you can upgrade and earn gold. Good concept but wonder which dictionary is used?
I don't recommend this game.

If I was going to say anything negative about this game it is that it starts in the cold zone which puts you in a cold mood at the start lol.The good thing about that is it gets it over with then you can warm up.
This developer never lets you down always adding new features. I have the CE of this and will only get a CE if I know the history of the games as you can end up paying double for little extra.. I would say the CE is worth it but only when a sale on. This standard edition is still a very good buy. I love the music here in particular the one with the chanting. There is always something different to do,I love the squirrel just adds another character. You need to think a lot on this one to get your 3 stars but even in relaxed it is a challenge. Enjoy

Been a long time since we have had a new tm game and this was no disappointment. I love the humor in this and as JoyBelle says although it starts off slow once you upgrade your workers experience they get faster. For me this is a very enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!

If you go by ratings then you will be put off getting this game and yes it is different from the previous games but I admire this developer for having a go at something different. You can never please everyone as we are all different which is a great thing.
If you clear your mind of the previous games and play this as a totally new concept forgetting about the previous games this is a great game. So many have low marked this because there is only timed. Not true there is a relaxed so I feel for the dev whom has got low stars for something that is just not true.. I happen to love both versions in different ways. There are countless games where they are the same old thing time after time yet get top marks for something that is identical apart from the word 2 or 3.
I know its a bit late to resurrect the scores for this game but please judge it on its own merits , you may enjoy it as I did

I just love this series and this game is no disappointment however I have the CE and as already said it has a lot more going for it and worth the extra.Having said that if you just want a standard TM then this is a brilliant choice. Enjoy
