This game will keep you coming back for more!
This is a bit of an older game, but definitely still viable! It's challenging, especially if you go for the achievements in each stage, gets progressively harder, and is overall FUN.
I'm not one of those people who give out 4 and 5 start reviews very often, but this game deserves it.
The storyline is a bit obvious, but it serves it's purpose and is cute. Graphics aren't anything amazing, but they don't need to be for this game. Those are really the only negatives I can think of!
Give this game a try, play the demo. It's one of those games where when it cuts off after an hour, you sit back for a second in disappointment, baffled at how your time could possibly be up, then race to buy it. :D

A Must-Have For Any Casual Gamer
I wasn't so sure about this game at first, but WOW. It's visually engaging, it keeps your interest even up to the last level and provides enough of a challenge that you don't get bored, but it's not so hard that you want to throw your computer across the room once you get to an upper level. This is in my top 10 favorite casual games of all time and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in yours as well. :)

Oldie but a goodie!
This game is old and you can tell from the graphics alone with are below par for games coming out today.
The premise of the game is to look after several gardens where you must fight against bugs and weeds. It seems easy enough in theory but once you get into the higher levels, you can have a full garden one moment and be wiped out completely by bugs within seconds. Some of the higher levels depend on true skill and multitasking while others rely on the knowledge of how the game works so there is a equal amount of challenge in each level and it always is a little different.
What first caught my eye about this game though was the love story behind it which will totally steal heart and want to play on just to see how it ends!
Takes some time to complete as there is a lot of levels and each level takes a little longer than average for TM games. I really enjoy this game and it also has a lot replay value as once you finish, the older levels seem 'brand new' again!

Simple yet challenging
This is a game that keeps drawing me back. The basic challenge for each level is quite achievable but, getting "expert" is another thing altogether. I am personally having a hard time figuring out the strategy behind this game. I've gotten within 2 mana points of reaching "expert", on a few levels, only to have the timer run out. This just makes me more determined. ;)
You have a variety of plants to choose from. Some provide more "mana" yet require more maintenance. You also have a variety of tools to choose from. This is where the strategy comes in to play.
Currently, the forum isn't very active so finding help is difficult (compared to other game forums).
All and all, I'm enjoying this game and will keep plugging away trying to discover the strategies. ;)
