Sometimes it is a real race and even when I’ve figured out the combinations for success I am still not able to finish in time ### 4/5 — 頭使うので面白い *2020-11-08* 戦略的に進めないとクリア出来ないので　面白いです ### 4/5 — Archimede *2020-10-09* Formidable ### 3/5 — Love time management games *2020-09-28* This is like the achievable game where reaching the objective is nearly impossible. Would greatly appreciate a relaxed or casual version instead of expert right off the bat. I’m just going to continue unable to reach barely 1 star and hope something clicks along the way. ### 5/5 — My favourite game of all time *2020-08-06, version 1.0.7* I love this game. I’ve played it though several times. I can eGet 3 stars, but not always beat developers time. Good challenge. ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2020-08-06, version 1.0.7* This app was fun but started force closing. I was very irritated as I tried several things to resolve the issue. ### 2/5 — Fun but does not complete. *2020-07-08, version 1.0.7* Starts off great and pretty darn challenging. Once at level 3.5 tho, and it doesn’t count the huts and there’s no way to end. Bought a game I can’t finish because it doesn’t recognize when steps are complete. ### 2/5 — Level 5 doesn’t work *2020-07-01, version 1.0.7* Tried playing several times and asked to upgrade 11 huts. Does not recognize your completed level. Please fix ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-07-01* Love this, make more! This type of game is one of my favorites, and this developer makes great ones. Good value too, since I can replay them while waiting for new titles ### 5/5 — Archimedes *2020-04-28, version 1.0.7* Great game, so much so that I'm on my 5th round. Any more of this game coming? ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2020-04-23* Мне понравилась ### 5/5 — Love this! *2020-04-04, version 1.0.7* Any chance of a new Archimedes? ### 5/5 — Fun Game. *2020-02-16* Good graphics and smooth gameplay. The only issue that’s annoying is when gathering food or wood up by the pause button, it’s difficult to tap on the item without pausing the game. It’s not a deal breaker though. ### 2/5 — Great look. Can’t read the writing. *2020-02-15, version 1.0.6* Game looks great but just can’t read that thin writing. ### 5/5 — Super *2020-01-24* Parfait ### 5/5 — Can we get a 2 *2020-01-20, version 1.0.6* I love this game and have played it over and over again. A second one would be fantastic! ### 3/5 — Too glitchy *2020-01-15* Think Through the gameplay!!! When trying to collect items (wood, cash, etc.) it opens other options half the time instead of just collecting what you wanted to collect ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to really enjoy *2020-07-10, version 1.0.7* Have been enjoying for several weeks, and now it will not open. I have tried deleting and reloading and it continues to crash. I do not understand, but I am fed up. Would give it a zero if possible. I apparently wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Фу-у-у *2020-01-09* Данат уже на начальном уровне прет. Ещё и покупать полную версию за дебильную игру ? ! Смеётесь? ### 1/5 — Не загружается *2019-10-17* Почему я купила игру , а она не загружается ??? При попытке войти вылетает ! Исправьте ошибку , а то делаете игры платными и не следите потом за ней!!! **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Напишите, пожалуйста, нам на почту contact@jetdogs.com и мы постараемся вам помочь! ### 1/5 — Игра не загружается *2019-09-04* Вылетает при загрузке ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-08-19, version 1.0.6* This game is terrible. It won’t let me play it. It shut off all the time and won’t start back up just like another game from the same makers. I will no longer buy any games from jet dogs. I am through. ### 1/5 — Can’t build Athena’s Shrine *2019-07-19, version 1.0.6* My iPad doesn’t show me Athena’s Shrine on 6.5. I can’t finish level, can’t find or can’t be seen to build Athena’s Shrine. Please help! ### 1/5 — Impossible *2019-05-11* Can’t get past a certain point, no matter what. Touching an item often doesn’t work, so have to try several times. On a level that is hard, this problem makes it impossible. I agree with another reviewer that touching an item often brings up a big square that also interferes. I give up. Back to the Hercules time management games. They are possible to solve. ### 1/5 — Poor design *2019-05-08, version 1.0.6* Building pop ups create buildings not wanted and there’s NO WAY to complete tasks in time given. Very disappointing. Do an update and double the time to complete. Otherwise this game is trash. Update! I’ve beat the developers score 3 times! Don’t follow the guide. ### 1/5 — Relaxed version please *2019-05-06, version 1.0.6* I enjoy these games but only if there is a choice for playing relaxed..... ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2019-02-11* Почему при загрузке вылетает? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If you loved Royal Envoy *2025-01-27* This is one of my favorite games! So many of the resource management games are just run, get food, wood, gold. Rinse & repeat. This game is similar to Royal envoy in That you have specific tasks such as build 5 houses, get bonuses, etc. in addition, this is fun because it’s based on Archimedes inventions, so some of the contraptions are very interesting to build. The tasks are very challenging, especially intrying to get all 3 stars. There is a guide for each level which helps, so you can always solve the level, but getting 3 stars is quite a challenge. I can’t say how much I like this mash up of resource management with strategic puzzle solving. Please make more of this type of game! Or maybe add some more levels to this one. Great job! ### 5/5 — Perfect strategy time management game *2024-08-27, version 1.0.7* I love this game! Can play it over and over and it’s still fun. Perfectly challenging but achievable. Just wish I could add more player names. I have played it with four player names, and I like seeing if I can improve my previous scores. I like the way at the end of each level you can see scoreboard to compare to your previous efforts. But now that I’ve used four, if I want to play it again I would need to delete one of my previous players. Please hurry up and make a sequel! This is as good as the Hercules games! ### 5/5 — If you loved Foyal Envoy *2024-04-10* This is one of my favorite games! So many of the resource management games are just run, get food, wood, gold. Rinse & repeat.

Great job! ### 5/5 — So much fun and challenging. *2023-07-18, version 1.0.7* I love these types of games. I will not advance to next level unless I get three stars. ### 5/5 — Archimedes Eureka *2023-07-12, version 1.0.7* I love this game, especially the format. Please make more like this ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games *2022-09-09, version 1.0.7* This game is so good! The puzzles are creative. Yes, some are difficult, but there are guides to help if you want to use them. Plus there are 3 levels - the easiest allows you to finish without a time constraint. Getting 3 stars really is a challenge. I have completed all levels, but now am going back to try to get 3 stars on all levels. I wish there were more games like this one! If you remember Royal Envoy, you will love this game! ### 5/5 — Archimedes *2022-06-14, version 1.0.7* Brilliant lots of levels ### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve played *2021-06-18, version 1.0.7* I hardly ever write reviews but I’ve played a lot of these sort of strategy games over the years and this is the best by far. So many levels and challenging enough to keep you coming back time and time again! Very impressed ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2021-02-01, version 1.0.7* One of the best time management games. I play it over and over trying to beat all of the developer scores. Please create another one!! ### 5/5 — Excellent jeu! *2020-12-22, version 1.0.7* Il fait travailler mais on peut prendre le temps qu'on veut pour le faire.
