### 5/5 — China wall

*2024-07-15, version 1.7.1*

Great game

### 5/5 — Still Great!

*2024-05-05, version 1.7.1*

Still enjoying this game after many years!

### 5/5 — Excellent time mgnt strategy

*2023-01-14, version 1.7.1*

This is a simple time management strategy game. I love the graphics. I’d love to play more games like this.

### 1/5 — Try the other version

*2022-12-01, version 1.7.1*

This version has a very annoying ‘kill the dragon’ mini game that you have to do to finish the level.  It has no place being in a strategy game. It’s just annoying.

### 1/5 — Can’t open free level

*2022-02-09, version 1.7.1*

Can not

### 5/5 — Simple and a lot of fun

*2021-12-16, version 1.7.1*

I was at first put off a little by the game’s simplicity but this really challenging and fun! A great strategy time management game!

### 5/5 — Game

*2021-07-22, version 1.7.1*

I love playing this game. It is challenging and addicting.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2020-08-15, version 1.7.1*

I wish there was a list of exact goals to accomplish.  I wish you could generate more workers more easily.  I wish you didn’t have to wait for the workers to return in between every single task

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2019-03-24*

You can’t line up your next moves because it won’t accept anything until there is a free worker in the hut.  So you have to just sit and wait until one gets back.  Boring.

Also you can’t see what resources you need to get something done.  Occasionally you catch a glimpse of something but it’s gone so fast you’ll never know it.  So you spend a lot of mindless time just gather anything and everything until a green light shows up.  Also boring.

Too bad.  Could have been good like other similar games.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect game ....

*2018-08-20*

This is a great game and the only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the beginning part if each section where they introduce the next section but they only flash it for a split second and then move on to the section.  Would have been nice to be able to read the intro about the new things they introduce in each section.  While it does not keep you from solving the game play in each section, takes away from an otherwise almost flawless well written piece of work. Still recommend the game.
