The 80 hours I have on record for this game is deceptive, because I'm lazy and have left it running on my computer constantly for 2-3 days this week, even when not playing. That said, I'd say that since buying it, I've probably sunk 10-15 hours into actually playing this game. I played for a good 5-10 hours after purchasing it two and a half years ago. Got caught up in a bunch of other games, and came back to it last week, determined to get the last 2 or 3 achievements, and put in at least another 5 hours.

That might seem like a lot for what deceptively looks like such a simple game, but the crux of the matter is as follows: 1) I was determined to beat it. For neurotic achievement hunter me, that meant, another perfect game. 2) It takes a lot of planning, like playing a chess game and trying to think a dozen moves ahead. I sometimes found a scratch pad and pencil helpful for planning things out. 3) The effing bears! And lastly, 4) This game is more than a little bit addictive. You tell yourself, nope, just going to finish this building and I'm done for the night. And some bear gets in the way of a building you've been working on for the past 5 minutes, and somehow, you've got a new game going because you know you can beat it this time.

I don't know that it's something that I would have shelled out $10 for. But I'm stingy like that. Having paid 3.99 for it, I find I'm okay with the price to time played/enjoyment ratio. The last couple of achievments are hard, but there's a pretty great guide in the community hub for it. In the end, I probably won't play this game again, or at least not any time soon, but I don't by any means regret the purchase.
