Community Insight:
We never played a game like this before and didn't think we'd like it. It was temporarily free so we tried it. Glad we did, as it's very enjoyable. There are a few glitches but if you keep tapping it'll get going. We finished the game pretty quickly. Thanks devs.
Our only true disappointment is that there are not 40 Levels. There are 4 levels and 10 different worlds or segments within each level. We were sooo excited when we finished the first ten and thought we had 39 (times ten) more to go. We thoroughly enjoyed going through the relaxed mode. Spent an entire afternoon and evening playing through the all segments. Roughy ten to fifteen minutes per each of the 40 segments. Enjoy.
Its a great entertaining game and easy to lose yourself in it.
Have all the games. Love them and have played them over and over. We will not have free games they are a money trap. Bring on more like these.
We cant get this level to start no matter how much we tap. If we could continue the game, Id have given it 5 stars.
Game has played very well and is very enjoyable. But, upon reaching level 3.10 the level doesnt start when tapped. Somehow the level does start eventually but when it gets to the bellows it just stops the level when we tap the bellows (if we dont tap, it eventually times out). Please fix.
We were enjoying playing the game when one level glitchednow we cant advance.
Ive played all the Hercules games, and enjoy them except for the dialog box that pops up every time a supply is picked up. The box, telling you what youre picking up, is unnecessary AND covers the roads, gets in the way and blocks progress. Frustrating.
Unfortunately, there are images and animations missing from the game. Sometimes they're incidental, but sometimes you cant advance, let alone complete the scene. Its a shame, as we have enjoyed the PC version very much. Please fix this.
But we are having major problems with the app. We are playing on an iPhone 7 and we see some of our issues have been around since the iPhone 5! Same issues! The good: as everyone notes the game is so cute and a lot of fun to play, so we were cutting it a lot of slack until we could no longer proceed forward. We love Hercules- how he naps until needed and all the little details like his sandals sitting next to him while he naps but he puts them on to do things. We love Medea and how she uses her whole body to turn someone to stone. We love the variety in where the quests take place and so on. The bad. We had problems with the first few mini-games – even though we tapped like crazy it was really hard to get them started. But no matter what we do we cant get past 4.10 – we cant get the game started no matter how often we tap. We havent even made it halfway! And there doesnt seem to be any support out there for this issue = 2 stars.
We got to the boss level after the centaur was crushed by the rock. The game froze and wouldnt let us play the boss level. We tried completely closing it, turning our phone off and back on and finally decided we needed to uninstall and reinstall the game. Of course we expected to lose all data. What we wasnt expecting was to have to pay for the game again.
We bought ten full version of this game as they help us relax while doing homework. But the game just wont let us play anymore at level 3.10. Anyone know why.
Bought this as we have every one of them. However on level 3.10 it wont let us play. It just keeps saying tap to play but wont start. We really wanted to finish the game we paid for but guess we cant.
Another Update 4/4/19 Decided to give it another try. Stupid glitches are still there. Just dont understand why they cant be fixed. Ads seem to be gone. Update Glitches are better, but we'd pay to get rid of the annoying ads that appear between EVERY level. If you like time management games, you'll definitely like this game. The play is easy to learn and pretty intuitive. However, as others have mentioned, there are white rectangles on almost every screen where chasms needing bridges are placed. How difficult would it be to fix this very distracting glitch.
We love this game! It is so addicting.
Challenging and fun. Graphics are great.
We enjoyed the Hercules games on our PC and now we're enjoying this one on our iPad. Also purchased Hercules III for the iPad. Plan to get them all when they become available. They're enjoyable, challenging and all the trophies and achievements make them fun to play.
We love this game so much it's really cool awesome and amazing we'll recommend this app/game to our family and friends.
Great little game. But why are there little white rectangles on the screen where the rocks fall to make bridges? Shouldn't there be art there.
Good game play. The characters are fun. Good challenges–just exactly difficult enough to keep you motivated.
This game is a great time management game! You are given your tasks for each level. You then must get and manage your resources in order to complete the level. You can increase your manpower, and move your obstacles to gain more resources. Call on Hercules for the obstacles you can't move and complete in the time given. For a added surprise you will meet some great Herculean helpers on the way! A must have game.
AND it would absolutely be more popular if more people were aware it existed…needs more marketing IMHO. This is an uplifting, challenging game that is entirely family friendly. Buy it.
Awesome time management game. Hope to see more soon.
Great game. Too many ads after you've bought the full version of the game and the"Tap to Play" areas will sometimes freeze. Other than those problems, it's a great challenging game. It'll only get better with the fixes.
This is a great game when is the next one coming we can play this over and over it is one thing f the best time management games on our IPad.
This is a great game to unwind with.
Enjoy playing this. Wish it was longer with more levels.
Love this game! We hope there are more coming.
This game is fun and a lil challenging. Keep up the good work.
Working great! Animations enjoyable. Each level a little different and just plain fun.
Easy relaxing fun, cute characters just a great game to play. Love the strategy & easy to navigate. A must if you like time management games.
Thoughtfully put together – 5 stars on all the little characters (Love the Medusa Gorgon), and frankly the music (and the latter is a first for us … Usually find game music annoying and as a matter of course feel free to mute it). There is an artistry to the design of the different levels, and there's a humor about the game in general – can't wait for the sequel :-).
We downloaded the free version thinking we wouldn't really like this game. However, it is so much fun that we had to buy it. Very entertaining! Great Job.
Just the right amount of challenge and win-ability. It makes you work out thru trial and error just the right tactic for success. That tactic tends to change every level as well.
Please make more! Agree that it's too short. Haven't had trouble with pop-ups like others, just the white rectangles.
We love this games we can't wait for you to bring the other versions on … It's hours of fun and believe it or not gets you to think what is the best strategy.
This is a great game. Very challenging. We love it.
We are enjoying this game but it's glitchy. Lots of white boxes where graphics should be, etc.
This is the type of time management games we love. Simple, yet challenging.
Buy this game. You won't be disappointed.
Really happy to have another time management/strategy game very much like our Kingdom but with its own storyline and fun characters:) Hope to see a sequel ( or two) soon.
We luv time management games but unfortunately there aren't many good ones for the iPad, however this one is a keeper. It's challenging, the characters are great and the game play is great.
We love time management games, and this one delivers. It's cute, it's playable, it's easy to get to understand … If you like tm games, you will like this one.
Most enjoyable game!!! Love having it on our iPad.
We love this game. Please make more like this.
Great game. You would like to replay it more than once.
Very cute characters..especially the preening egotistical HERCULES! No stress in relaxed mode! Love it.
We love games that we can play all day.
We love that Hercules sunbathes on a hammock while everyone works hard. Then, when he's 'summoned', moves a boulder, then does poses to congratulate himself! Funny and great time management game, too! Kudos to ZOOM OUT games.. (Love Northern Tale, too!).
This is a great time management game! Not a farm game, more like Royal Envoy, or Roads of Rome. Is fun to play and is a little on the easier side, so it will make you feel good about your skills. We really enjoyed it! Developers…Please make more.
