This is a fun and challenging game that NEVER asks you to purchase more coins or watch time-waisting advertisements to enjoy the game. PLEASE, PLEASE, make more games like this, with a one-time cost...even if that cost is $20-$30. I’m tired of being robbed with “in-app” costs. ### 5/5 — Love It! *2020-05-12, version 3.0* I love what I call “journey” puzzles. They are relaxing. Story is good and gameplay is fun! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-02-12, version 3.0* Great game and graphics.... loved playing this game ### 5/5 — Gold rush *2020-01-08, version 3.0* Excellent game ### 5/5 — Très amusant *2020-01-07, version 3.0* Et divertissement.

The game started out crashing after every level which was ok to deal with but now the game crashes in the middle of the same level and I can't get passed it. Please fix the game would be fun if it would stop crashing. ### 2/5 — Too short *2015-09-21, version 2.0* Awesome game; too short to spend money on it. Just stick with the free one. There aren't more levels when you buy it. ### 2/5 — Regret the purchase.. *2014-11-30, version 2.0* I'm highly disappointed in how few levels you get for a paid game. Considering the overwhelming amount of levels and updates you get in most iap games, I expected way more from a game I paid for. I loved the trial, so I bought it, and flew through what I thought was the first map of the game in no time at all. At the end of what should be the first map, I'm told to start a new profile and start the game over if I want to keep playing. No promise of future worlds or anything. What? ### 2/5 — Game Crashes *2014-05-18, version 1.0* Love this game but disappointed it crashes and I paid for it, be warned. ### 3/5 — Rush for gold California *2018-07-21, version 3.0* Good game a bit repetitive ### 3/5 — Not as challenging as Alaska *2014-09-03, version 1.0* I played Alaska first. Loved it. This one is the exact same thing but way easier. Too easy. Finished too fast. ### 4/5 — Excellent game *2024-09-25, version 3.0* This game is really fun. I love the computer graphics. Runs well on my iPad unlike many games. ### 4/5 — Great *2023-08-13, version 3.0* Good little strategy game. ### 4/5 — Good TM Game *2020-12-18, version 3.0* A good game and one with good replay value. My only comment is it could be more diverse with the characters ### 4/5 — Fun game. *2020-03-29, version 3.0* Well made with nice graphics. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into time management games. Good job! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-05-16, version 3.0* Great graphics one of my favorite time management game!

Wish there were more versions. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-02-09, version 3.0* This is a quality time management game, the kind you can play several times through without getting bored.

I am glad you have relaxed mode,for those of us who prefer to take their time and not get too anxious. Great way to pass the time while doing chemo. ### 5/5 — Fun, Family-Friendly Time Management Game *2021-07-22, version 3.0* Great graphics, enjoyable storyline featuring exploration and town building. Offers the opportunity to choose which improvements you make to the town. Attractive graphics and glitch-free action. I appreciated being able to pay a flat fee instead of watching innumerable ads. Have owned this game on another platform for years and it is solidly replayable. Most of all I like being able to share it with kids. Definitely family-friendly! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-14, version 3.0* I enjoy this game although it would be nice if there were a lot more levels but it’s fun and no complaints --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
