Community Insight:
Taught our granddaughter to play this game when she was about 5 years old. She is 15 now, and we were remembering old games we enjoyed. We down loaded it and playing it again. Simple and cute game.
A game that never gets old. We always come back to it.
We really love this game, we even have it on our pc. So when we saw it for iPad, just knew we needed it. It would make it even better if there was a selection where you could turn the mayor off so you could continue playing the game, hitting the skip button all the time slows down the game play. Please update the version so it will work with all of the current updates Apple has been performing on the iPad. We hate that we cant play it anymore because of the upgrades.
Its been a while since Ive played this type of game. Used to be our favorite back when Road to Rome and others were first coming out. Had forgotten how much we enjoy this genre! This game doesnt disappoint. Very nicely done, especially the artistic graphics.
Cute game and we enjoy the untamed play. No pressure and the graphics are fun.
We love this game. Have been playing it again and again. Waiting for the third one for iPad.
There is lot of fun to picky things around Its easy to play and we know our family love to play this but its not hard to play thank you.
Cute game..just a good old fashioned time management game..keep them coming.
We dont typically rate games but this game deserves a review. This is a fun casual TM game. It always works; we have not had any glitches yet.
Its fun, relaxing and you can choose a relaxed or challenging level. The challenging option is fun if you like solving problems. We cant wait for a 2nd Version. No glitches or problems. Highly recommend.
We love strategy games and this one is one of our favorites. We really appreciate the option to be able to play with or without stressful time limits. We have played both gold rush games by this developer and all we can say is PLEASE BUILD MORE.
We love this game…it fun to see what is next.
Fun, l play in the relaxed mode. Lots of fun.
We really love this game! Ive played it & Rush For Gold California on our iPad and laptops. We truly enjoy it but if we could recommend anything to the makers of the game it would be to add an option to bypass all the tutorials. We waste a lot of time on those pop up instructions that we dont need.
Love this, you can't get enough of it…. It's a time game because the time you're done playing it…. It's time to stop, but you can't it's a very addictive game …. Totally love this game… Good Graphics as well….. Try it.
One of our all time fav time management games. Sure wish you'd make more.
Love this game! One of our fave. Time management games ever.
Awesome game, beautiful pictures, great to keep you busy and entertained. Please do more like this one!!! We do recommended for any ages, you can do it in relaxed mode and it is perfect.
This is our second review of this game. We are now playing it for the third time. It just doesn't get old! You really a have to think "strategy" to get 3 stars on some levels. Very addicting! We're ready for another by this company! Great game.
Keep making games like this!!!! Played your other one as well. Love it.
We hope they continue this game.
We absolutely love the Royal Envoy Games, but was bummed when we finished playing all of them. We tried a bunch of other TM games but didn't like them until we found this one. It is just as fun as the Royal Envoy Games and we hope the developers make more just like it.
This is a really fun game that you can't stop playing.
Very similar to the our kingdom for the princess games. Enjoyable.
Please make more! Had a blast playing this game.
We happened upon this game by accident on itunes. We were so thrilled because we played it originally on PC. We love TM games, but am very picky. Either they're too repetitive, no variety, no challenge or too hard unnecessarily. Not this game! It has the exact right mix of challenge,variety and fun! The mechanics are perfect, very responsive, no glitches or crashes. Just a fun, excellent game all around and we really can't wait for more from this dev! Keep up the great work and keep em coming, you've got a loyal gamer in us.
This app is fun and quite challenging to get a 3 star rating on some levels, it has good replay potential.
We play many time management games and we are enjoying this one. It is a little different and keeping our attention so far. We're hoping they will continue to make it harder as the levels increase and add new twists and turns. We would recommend it.
We don't purchase games that do not have a lite version to try first. This game is worth the purchase. The game play is challenging enough to be fun and not discouraging.
This app is so addicting because of all the levels, backgrounds, and challenges there are. Its always something new which makes it challenging and makes you want to keep playing to see what the next thing is to come. The graphics are also good which adds to the experience.
A very addictive game, fun, and overall, great. We can't think of anything to change here.
Very addictive! We just keep on playing and playing.
This app is so fun! We never thought it could be this fun! It play it for so long and we LOVE it!!! We love how you can choose to have no timers and just play casually! Best thing ever! Get this game.
We have never tried a game like this before. Am enjoying it.
We have done this before with other games like this. You pay for the game then you play it for a couple of hours and you beat it. It just shows that company is greedy. You make people purchase a game then the company no longer feels that they need to keep the game going.
The game is awesome, we recommend you to download it.
This app is simply amazing… It's soo much fun.. It's easy yet challenging, we love the gameplay and the content are simply great.
The game is a good time spender. It is simple and understandable enough. We've played for some time and want to play more.
Great new app! The graphics are awsome, a new cool fresh story. Its a very addicted game, it is really interesting and changeling! Keep new updates coming please because we love this!! <3.
This game has a long story,which makes it challenging.And it's addictive as well.Great.
Seems a little bit like those kingdom building games which you can easily find from iTunes Store, but the good part is this app also provides a bunch of unique feature and storyline to impress the user, not to mention its gorgeous graphic design and cool sound effects. Although it's a pity that full version game requires extra IAP, but it's still nice to have a short try out before the purchase.
We've played through the first seven levels and we're really enjoying this game! You don't have to play with a timer but we're the kind of person that has to get three stars on every level so we've been playing the timed version. It's pretty challenging and we've had to replay a few levels but we like some difficulty in these types of games.
We recently started playing this game and now we're sorta addicted to it. It's really interesting and changeling.
We dont like games like this because we become bored of it.yea it challenging but going through each levels makes it difficult and boring.
