Gardens Inc, : From Rakes to Riches is a time/resource management game in which you collect and use resources to build beautiful gardens.
The first levels contain an excellent tutorial. The tutorial part of the level can be skipped if you wish. However, if you are not familiar with the Gardens Inc, games, I recommend you play it. Any time a new feature is introduced, the game will walk you through it, as well.
Note: When you complete the last goal, the chapter automatically finishes. If you want to collect extra resources to increase your score, you must do it before you complete that last goal. Any tasks queued up after the last goal is completed will be ignored.
Tip: You can queue as many actions as you have resources available to complete. When you have more than one worker, the next available worker will begin the next task in the queue.
Tip: You can right click to cancel the next action. You can continue to right click until all your queued actions have been cancelled.
Tip: The level timer does not begin until you make your first click. Take a moment to read the goals and plan out your first moves.
Tip: You may not have to repair all the paths to complete the level. Pay attention to your goals so that you won't waste time and resources needlessly repairing paths or bridges.
Tip: Do not upgrade your truck until you have enough tasks available to need more than one person. Otherwise, you will have one person not doing anything and may have wasted resources that you will need for another task.
Scoring:
Each level completed earns a score. You receive a bonus to your store for unused resources, for completing the bonus goal, and also for time left on the timer. Your score earns you money that can be used for buying renovations to the villa.
You will achieve a gold trophy on the map for each level that you complete in "gold time" (before the gold bar of the timer runs out).
You can replay a level to improve your time to gold time; if you improve your score to gold time, you will get that bonus money.
Bonus Goals:
Beginning with the second chapter, there is a bonus goal. The goal is given in the form of a clue that must be solved. The bonus goal clues and solutions will be listed below for each chapter.
Villa:
By completing the level and earning bonuses, you gain money to renovate the villa. To see the price of a new item, hover the mouse over it.
Hover over the trophy to see a descriptions; they are all self-explanatory. You will earn most of the trophies simply by completing the game.
One exception is "Easy Come, Easy Go" (have at least 15 resources and loose them all). I could not figure out how to gain this trophy. If you have, I'd love to know how!

ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is the problem you are having? I know that on this game, level 17 doesn't have a bonus goal, if that's what you're not seeing.
DeleteOtherwise. . .Have you contacted support from where you bought it? I know that Gamehouse is really good about responding (though it does take a while). If that is where you bought it I would definitely contact them.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you are disappointed with the game, but please realize that I have nothing to do with the development, design, or selling of this game.
