Just what the doctor ordered. Easy to follow, good graphics, large enough to see what you are collecting and need to collect. Xx we need more games like this one. ### 5/5 — Where is number 3? *2020-11-27, version 1.2* I love this game. Have been playing it again and again. Waiting for the third one for iPad. 😁 ### 5/5 — Great *2020-04-17, version 1.2* Great little game. And cheap. Definitely good to pass the time. ### 5/5 — This game is very good *2020-03-24, version 1.2* There is lot of fun to picky things around It’s easy to play and I know my family love to play this but it’s not hard to play “thank you” ### 5/5 — Fun game *2020-01-24, version 1.2* Cute game..just a good old fashioned time management game..keep them coming ### 5/5 — Macht Spaß😃 *2019-12-31, version 1.2* Ein unerwartet nettes Spielchen! Auch nicht so ganz einfach, immer die 3 Sterne zu erreichen, was ich gut finde.👍🏻Und ich mag dieses bestätigende "Mhmhm" der Arbeiter, wenn man ihnen einen Auftrag erteilt - klingt süß und lustig.😊 Für nur 3,49 € kann ich das Spiel absolut weiterempfehlen!👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Worth the cost *2019-12-20, version 1.2* I don’t typically rate games but this game deserves a review. This is a fun casual TM game. It always works; I have not had any glitches yet. ### 5/5 — Like Tribes and Hercules *2019-12-05, version 1.2* It’s fun, relaxing and you can choose a relaxed or challenging level. The challenging option is fun if you like solving problems. I can’t wait for a 2nd Version. No glitches or problems. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — What a fun stress free game! *2019-08-16, version 1.2* I love strategy games and this one is one of my favorites. I really appreciate the option to be able to play with or without stressful time limits. I have played both gold rush games by this developer and all I can say is PLEASE BUILD MORE!!! ### 5/5 — Make more *2019-08-13, version 1.2* I hope a part 3 comes out soon ### 5/5 — Just me *2019-05-28, version 1.2* Really enjoying the game ### 5/5 — Awesomeness! *2019-01-20, version 1.2* More of these games please!! ### 5/5 — Great *2018-10-16, version 1.2* Great fun and good way to pass the time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — И где русский *2020-04-28, version 1.2* И где русский ### 1/5 — Где обещанный русский язык? *2020-01-07, version 1.2* У меня нет настройки русского языка!где настраивать? ### 1/5 — Ho hum... Blatant money making ploy *2014-09-11, version 1.1* This game is exactly like every other time management game. There is nothing new here - 40 straight levels, with some things to buy for the 'town' but none of the purchases have any effect on the game play itself. 3-star ratings are relatively easily obtained on all the levels, but don't expect any rewards for achieving a perfect score - would have been nice to get at least a couple if bonus levels, but obviously the makers care little about the players. There is literally. Nothing of interest here - someone just phoned this one in. This basically is just different graphics for games you've seen a 100 times before. Really, don't waste your cash on this one. ### 2/5 — Sympa au départ mais finalement frustrant *2023-04-23, version 1.2* Jeu sympa pour passer le temps ou simplement se détendre, mais un gros problème pour moi : si vous sortez du jeu avant d’avoir fini la partie en cours, il faut la reprendre à zéro. Très frustrant, d’autant plus qu’il faut parfois attendre de longues minutes pour « recharger » les ressources disponibles (exemple : un arbre abattu pour obtenir du bois, qui repousse au bout d’un certain temps, ce qui permet d’obtenir du bois supplémentaire, sans lequel il est impossible d’avancer). J’avais mis 5 étoiles au départ, mais j’en retire 3. Finalement, il n’est plus aussi intéressant que je le pensais au départ. ### 2/5 — Seemed good *2021-02-18, version 1.2* Downlaoaded played till level 7 then wants £2.99 to continue it says free to play. What a couple of levels. I’m deleting game why not be up front about purchases . Be warned ### 2/5 — Greedy *2014-09-01, version 1.1* I 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 . ### 3/5 — Sprache nur Englisch *2020-02-25, version 1.2* Das Spiel an sich ist sehr gut. Aber leider kann man die Sprache nicht umstellen. Es geht nur auf Englisch. Schade, denn in der Beschreibung steht dass es auch auf Deutsch geht. ### 3/5 — Gold Rush *2015-08-09, version 1.1* It is a good game except the part where you have to start over every time you come back ### 4/5 — Excellent game, only 1 recommendation *2024-11-26, version 1.2* I really love this game! I’ve played it & Rush For Gold California on my iPad and laptops. I truly enjoy it but if I could recommend anything to the makers of the game it would be to add an option to bypass all the tutorials. I waste a lot of time on those pop up instructions that I don’t need. ### 4/5 — Decent game *2022-02-02, version 1.2* This is really quite a good little game, shame the sequel doesn’t seem to work on the latest iOS or I’d have bought it too. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-06-13, version 1.2* Taught my granddaughter to play this game when she was about 5 years old. She is 15 now, and we were remembering old games we enjoyed. I down loaded it and playing it again. Simple and cute game! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-11-30, version 1.2* A game that never gets old. I always come back to it. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-07-22, version 1.2* I really love this game, I even have it on my pc. So when I saw it for iPad, just knew I 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. I hate that I can’t play it anymore because of the upgrades. ### 5/5 — Great TM game! *2023-01-01, version 1.2* It’s been a while since I’ve played this type of game. Used to be my favorite back when Road to Rome and others were first coming out. Had forgotten how much I enjoy this genre! This game doesn’t disappoint. Very nicely done, especially the artistic graphics. 👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Cute *2021-06-01, version 1.2* Cute game and I enjoy the untamed play. No pressure and the graphics are fun. ### 5/5 — Good. *2021-05-22, version 1.2* I’ve had this game for awhile and played it for a second time still enjoyable but I notice there’s no new games. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2021-04-01, version 1.2* Really love this game and it’s very addictive ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-03-27, version 1.2* I love this game. It’s just right. Graphics, detail, story, relaxed mode optional. Play it and you’ll see it’s way better than others in this genre. Plus it’s a great price. 👏🏽 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2020-12-22, version 1.2* I really love this game, I even have it on my pc. So when I saw it for iPad, just knew I 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.
