It’s a nice interlude between the time management and strategy of the main levels in the game. In each level there are puzzle pieces to find and at the end of so many levels you complete a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces you have been lucky enough to spot throughout the levels. And the Extra Resources bonus which makes your farm and wood farm work faster for a few seconds giving out more resources for you to gather. Or the Extra Servant bonus which gives you an extra worker to order around for a few seconds. On some stages there are bonuses to use, such as Speed-up which makes your workers run faster for a few seconds. Up to 3 actions can be queued and If you want a worker to do something else instead of the task you have queued, you just tap on the task again to remove the little numbered flag and cancel that task. The gameplay is punctuated by boss appearances from time to time, which require you to quickly tap the screen the remove the boss as they scare your workers away from their work if you don’t act fast.Ī nice gameplay addition is that you can queue up the workers actions, so you don’t always have to watch what their doing. On some of the levels you come across a worker in a cage and once you have freed them from their prison you have an extra worker on your team. So keeping an eye on your farms output is key to keeping your resources in good supply. All the levels have a couple of places that constantly generate these items, like the food farms, however if you’re not quick enough to collect them, they get stolen by a bunch of thieves. Our friend Hercules is on hand for you to call him up to do the tough job of removing larger obstacles like boulders blocking the path once you have collected to correct amount of resources.Īs you can imagine resources run out pretty quickly as you’re building farms for food and upgrading them to their next level to produce more food. You are required to complete tasks by collecting resources scattered on the roads, clearing paths, building wood and food farms and building Temples. On each level you usually start with two workers. It’s not a bad storyline for a Time management game, it is quite engaging and it’s does its job of setting the stage for the game. Hercules and his servants set out to repair the damage the Bull has caused and capture the bull in the process. Our Hero Hercules steps up to the plate and decides he is the man to stop the Cretan Bull in its tracks. But there is a slight problem with his brilliant plan, the beast belongs to Hera! Thus, extremely angered by the theft attempt, Hera turns the Cretan Bull into a raging beast that tramples over everything in its path destroying roads and villages. Hercules comes up with the bright idea of taking the Cretan Bull and using it to plow the fields in Thebes.
