It's a cute time management game along the lines of games like Roads of Rome, Northern Tale, My Kingdom for the Princess, etc. I was pleasantly surprised as I played it though, and bought the game as soon as my trial was over.

A very enjoyable TM.Ī really good time management game! I was actually not expecting this to be quite as good as it was, though I'm not sure why that is. The game is (on times mode) sufficiently fast-paced, the trial hour went by really quickly. There are some variations in how to reach your goals - do you buy food or wait for it to grow, do you build a production building or not. The tasks are entertaining and in later levels, completement of tasks might lead to new tasks popping up, so don't be so sure that you have as much time left as you thought.

So in some levels, there is some planning involved or you might find yourself without resources. You can construct buildings which provide you with resources like wood or food regularly, but the supplies are limited and after a while, the buildings stop producing. The basic principle is the same - you run around gathering recources and constructing or repairing buildings, but there are some nice little ideas that give a fresh touch to the genre. Very entertaining and well thought out At first I thought this would be one of the typical 'Road to Rome'-type games.
