It's colorful, good graphics, good animation, good playing interface, but has some cheesy, atmospheric music. Lack of info on playing the game, especially the Clicker game.
In untimed mode it's easy- peasy, just keep playing until objectives are reached. You get 2 building cycles at the rail yard after each level is complete. Nothing to it.
Under the timed mode it's quite different. It gets more and more challenging to complete on time. I am stuck on level 28 and it seems no mater how many branch decisions I make I just don't quite make it, need another 30 seconds. Just darn aggravating. No walkthrough for that level exists yet. Finally figured it out, have to be very careful how resources are obtained. It's just in time and so are some levels following that. If you can figure out level 28 you can figure out the rest. I finished all levels in the timed mode but received no special awards or bonuses.
The click arcade side feature is just meaningless, just seems to go on forever with no clear objective except a final monetary achievement. Some kind of clickbate joke. You can purchase unloaders and just let er run while in the game but not outside it. Cheesy!
I would get it free but don't buy it. They could do better. Good for a rainy day.
I recommend this game!

This Game series is fun and challenging, it has colorfull, balanced graphics. The transition story panels unfortunately are not in color.
What's nice is once you figure out the strategy of a level you have enough surplus time to complete it at 3 stars. There are only awards, no building a structure or collecting items. You can play through on casual with no penalty.

This is quite a fun game series to play. It's colorful, has good graphics and a decent, musical repertoire. The musical repertoire expands on the seceding game series. The game play is pretty much straight forward.
As a side attraction you add to a building structure with each puzzle piece found per level as well as completing that level, you don't have to be in normal or expert mode.
You have 3 modes of play- casual with no time limit, normal with achievable time limit, and extreme for the mad TMG gamers.
There is some hidden object find extras too.
Have fun.

This is a cute game for the young witches and goblins, but also a great time waster for adults when doing the strategy on many levels. In fact your kids may drag you into it to help solve some levels. It's colorful and has good graphics. The music is OK too.
What is missing is an achievements section other then scouring.
You restore the witches hut as you progress though the levels in any proficiency level, casual to expert. As you complete every section you then have access to the bonus level in that section.
I recommend this game!

Basic Game, Challenging Levels

Although this game does not offer much on the extras beyond bragging awards, it's quite colorful and has decent graphics. But the fun part of this game is the strategic levels of play, very challenging and unique.
I wish they had a better repertoire of musical selections.
I recommend this game!

Toughest Version Yet

Favorite Genre(s):Adventure, Puzzle, Strategy, Time Management
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.

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.
