A fun rapid time management puzzle game that is as entertaining as it is infuriating. Just playing through the game there is a near zero chance for you to fail any given stage but there is a range that you have to hit to get the gold time. These times vary wildly from a few minutes to spare to barely having 10 seconds left and driving me insane. My time near doubled just from that alone. Don't get me wrong I had fun playing this but this might be a game that you just play to enjoy and not to 100%. For $3 though this game has been more than worth it and get's a strong recommend on the time waster aspect.

It is a bit of a chore to do all of this, there is some fun to it but it gets a bit stale

I've played a lot of time management games over the years. All of the games from 1 to 8 in this series are my favorites. I revisit them all at least once a year. It's great that they give you the option to play 3 different types of difficulty, so if you just want a relaxed playthrough, you can do that. It's strange that the price went up so high with the following games. Maybe they are under new management? Anyway, if the price for the newer games ever gets low enough I'll give one or more of them a try. I just hope they play as well as the games I already have.
