So far I really like it.
After 15 minutes of the tutorial I was ready to exit and uninstall but lucky I kept on going and now have been playing for 5 hours non stop smile

The characters are cute- there is no pressure of time- some frustration hunting for things at times but it would be too easy if everything was easy to find smile

Simple and cute game and enjoying it so far.
Just made it to the tropics area - wonder what is in store for me here?

How would you classify the game Bella? They call it an adventure, but lots of games are lumped in there. The description left me wondering.

I guess it is easy Adventure - you run around looking for things to give characters you meet to get further as in many adventure games.
You normally have to find a few things to combine with a recipe to achieve this. For example you may be asked to make a shirt which requires thread, wool and dye- you have to buy at the shop, search or sometimes make those items that make up the shirt.

There are no puzzles - it is basically search and find - make the recipe/pattern or supply items to fulfill a request.

There is no pixel hunting - your character has to grow things or get their pet to climb, dig or charm another animal for the items- The items you get seem based on chance mcuh of the time though there are certain patterns to the pets and areas to obtain the items you notice after playing a while.

There is a story behind it and reason you do all this. New areas open up to you as you progress as do new characters to interact with.

Rambling on a bit here but I would call it Adventure. Of course a 35mb game does not have the high graphics, cinematics and sound of the "large file" adventure games but certainly has some of the gameplay elements you find in Adventure games.

This is a delighful game which has got me hooked.Six hours playing so far.
I love the sort of game that gives you tasks to complete without boring repetition and this is it.No chance of getting killed either-a welcome change.There is a storyline but I haven't reached the end yet.So good value for money as well.
The characters are cute.You can customise your avatar and there are clothes to make to dress your character how you want.
I would thoroughly recommend this game if you are into questing and crafting.

In some ways, this game could also be likened to an RPG lite, without the combat. smile

Based on what I have played so far, this is a very pleasant and enjoyable game. Extremely good value here, too, as according to the Gamezebo review it may take you up to 20 hours if you decide to try to complete all the quests and do everything there is to do. smile

Marian, it's always good to hear that the game lasts a good long while wave

Thanks for saying that Connie, I searched all the forums for previous news on this because it looked so familiar. I just looked at my beta testing list and there it was! I thought I was imagining it. lol

Yes I read at gamezebo they compared it to RPG game however you do not get to play different roles. Your pet does grow in abilities and skills though which is a parallel.

This game seems to take from many genres. I immediatley thought of Spore when having to charm animals and the Willasaurus even seemed some reference - though yes I know Wandering Willows is the name so maybe reading too much into it there.

This game is a lot of fun when you get into it. Probably not for the impatient or those that dislike easy games. I find it enjoyable and relaxing.

edit: I finished the game and chose to keep playing but did not get additional tasks.
When I checked the walkthrough at Gamezebo I had already done the tasks on their list of additional so I guess you can finish without completing everything and then choose to do so.
Well I will just start again smile

What a charming game this is.
