It is definitely entertaining to have to build an A-Frame house for the hippies who want to live in the trees.Ĭonclusion - Rewards, Story, and Gameplay Combine To Make a Winner The dialogue and client types are all related to what decade you are in, which makes the conversations a little cliché and cheesy, but still funny and relevant to the game. Unfortunately, Build In Time does not integrate the storyline into gameplay in the kind of seamless way it should rather it jumps in and out, making it feel a bit disjointed. This promises to be a nail-biting family drama, and your personal life is certainly not left out of it, as you meet a girl, get married and start a family along the way. Strangely enough, you have never met your uncle because of some mysterious falling-out between him and your father. In a twist of fate, you run into your uncle on a job site and decide to start a business together. As a young man, you go to a career fair in 1950 and decide your future is in the construction biz. The storyline for the game is interesting, funny, and worth reading, although you can skip right through most of it if you wish. The trophies are basically only for display in your Trophy Room (yes, you can show off the evidence of your construction prowess at any time!) but the feeling of mastery and world-domination makes earning them worthwhile. On the timed levels, you earn different trophies based on how quickly you finish the level, and the regular levels offer plaques for things like money earned, the happiness of your customers, and mastering gameplay techniques, such as building three house types, garages or colors in a row, which also gives you a bonus in-game. You can earn trophies and recognition for completing certain goals. Trophy System Gives You Something To Shoot ForĪnother characteristic of Build In Time that makes it a unique and pleasurable game is the rewards system. This makes the game very addicting, because you want to replay even the most difficult levels in order to earn the bonus stars, and for the most part makes up for the repetitive elements of the actual gameplay.

You can upgrade the houses you can build, how many construction and painting crews you supervise, how fast they can work, how many free appliances you can give away (which keep the waiting clients happier for an extended period of time), and many other things. The tasks are not mandatory to complete the level, but the extra stars you earn from them are helpful along the way, because they allow you to buy better upgrades for your construction business, which in turn allows you to make more money each level. These tasks differ from placing a particular house next to a landmark to completing the level in a certain amount of time to ensuring a particular customer type gets the lot they want. You get a star for earning more money than is required to pass the level, and another star for completing the specific task given for that level. However, Build In Time combats the repetitive nature of most task-management games by offering a variety of goals and rewards. Each level is a year in your construction business, so the game moves through six decades as you play. There are two modes to choose from: Regular and Kids' Play, which makes this a pretty universal game, even for those who may not be well-versed in computers yet.
