Poor interface, poor graphics, poor gameplay, and timed only
I think this game aimed for gameplay in the style of Be Rich or Build-a-Lot, but failed miserably in every respects.
The graphics look very dated, with drab colors and very low resolution. The in-game maps are small and you can't zoom in or out. The interface is rather ugly too, and I found it cumbersome (more so than other games in the same genre). For instance, to build anything, you have to click the "Build" button, which opens a window that hides the entire gameplay area, and from there you have to click a tab to view item categories, and only then select which item you want to build. On top of that, there aren't a lot of different items to choose from at all.
There is no sandbox or any other game mode available. The game is timed and does not offer any untimed mode -- if you can't finish a level in time, you'll just have to start it over and over... and since it wasn't very interesting in the first place... woohoo. From what I see on the main level map, there's only 35 levels total, and no replay value at all.
I couldn't bring myself to give it more than 1 star, as it had no redeeming value in my opinion.

INTERESTING AND INNOVATIVE
I don't know why people critize this game so much. i just played it and i find that it is pretty amazing. Graphics might not be the best but they are good. I love that the creators paid atttention to detail and show you how the buildings evolve. I also like that there are different phases of construction. Also they motivate you to do your best because if you do they expand your castle. Overall its innovative and fun. Its not a typical time managament building game because you can build wherever and whatever as long as you meet the goals and the time.
