Toughest Version Yet

Quite Colorful, this game is sure to attract the younger set. But it's scenarios are also challenging to adults. This version is the most challenging yet and requires some deep strategic thinking on some levels. Finding the puzzle pieces is very challenging also.
I played this game under normal time limit and was able to get 3 stars on every level, some up against the clock.
I recommend this game!

It's a very enchanting and beautiful game in the graphics.
There are 2 basic ways to play this game.
1 is the fast way where you purchase virtual coins, energy, gems, etc.
2 is the slow way where the server does incremental replenishing of energy. It takes about 24 hours to completely replenish your energy points. You get coins and other items by searching for hidden items in map locations. As you progress in the game more areas will open up.
Every 24 hour time period you play the game you get awarded coins and other items.
You are tasked with quests and when you fulfill those quests you get rewards and sometimes on major fulfillments you level up.
There are 6 kingdoms that will open-up as quests are fulfilled. 3 of them early in the game.
One major quest is to find out what dark force is corrupting the kingdom.
This is largely a game of finding hidden objects but various puzzles are also involved. Solving these puzzles will lead to further rewards. There are other ways to progress which you will discover by playing the game.
You are likely to be playing this game about an hour or so per day for probably over a year or more with the slow way.
The game also want's you to register and login, but I never did as I'm not sure of the consequences like getting unwanted email offers.
You can also do social interfacing to get help from other members playing the game and auction or bid on needed items. You can also give gifts or receive them.
I'm just going to play the game for the heck of it to see how it runs.
This game is a takeoff of "Lost Island- Eternal Storm" but is much more complicated.
I don't recommend this game.

It's a nice, challenging game with decent graphics and music. But the interfacing in the game process is quirky and hard to click on the play menus, you have to click on a certain spot. And the income doesn't seem to automatically add to the innovatory unless you pass your cursor over the production resources.
I got to level 2.3 which seems impossible to get the 3 gold star time bonus even when following the guide. I never even got close and usually I'm petty good at getting the max time bonus awards. Aggravating, not fun.
I don't recommend this game.

Despite it's simple appearance the game offers significant challenges and playing enjoyment. I hope the authors can come up with a more pleasing graphical version of this offbeat game.
I recommend this game!

The game is very colorful with high detailed graphics. It's very challenging on the upper levels, not impossible to get gold, blue ribbon and all goals completed.
The money bug is not solvable with this game version. Big Fish should offer the collectors version which is also named platinum version on other sites. You can get the extra money to complete the headquarters by playing the unlocked bonus level games. You then can finish any upgrades to the headquarters.
I think that the developers of this game should have an easy and hard level option for the frustrated gamers.
I don't recommend this game.

The biggest drawback of this game is the fast time limit, it should be cut be 10~20%. And the lack of a good strategy guild tutorial. It's an aggravation that spoils the fun factor.
It would be good if the gains of one game could be passed on to the next level for more challenging monsters, robbers, etc., past the building options.
As it is it's just an embellishment of the previous versions. And how about being able to name the players.
I don't recommend this game.
