G5 Entertainment is certainly among the more established iOS publishers, best known well known for their superb Hidden Object (HdO) and Time Management titles. I’m not a big fan of HdO but an occasional frantic spin on the next Sally’s Spa can easily suck me in for hours. As you may have guessed, our victim today is of the latter persuasion and also a follow-up to the reasonably successful Fix-it-up: Kate’s Adventure (Full), putting you in charge of a auto-repair shop. Not too imaginatively titled Fix-it-up: World Tour (Full) it follows the adventures of Kate and her two unlikely partners in bringing their business across the globe.

I think the story of Robinson Crusoe, though sad, has in many respects a lot of romance to it as well. Certainly the prospect of having a Friday of your own 7 days a week is a tempting one. I’m sure many have dreamed or at least tried to imagine what it would be like. And when our imagination fails, us we have but the App Store to turn to. Thanks to G5 Entertainment – the masters of time management – a deserted island will become much less deserted with you on it in Youda Survivor.

The Farm Frenzy franchise has always been a bit of a standout amongst the time management games that I’ve played.  It’s more goal oriented than its brethren, and as the name implies, it can get quite hectic, pretty much on every level after the first four or five.  It’s a nice change of pace from the typical storefront type management sims, though it might be a bit much for the more casual gamer.  So far Farm Frenzy 3 is no exception to the rule, and it’s a great reminder of why the series is so popular.  If you’re tired of serving food, running a boutique or managing a hotel, maybe it’s time for a bit of frenzy in your life.

I reviewed the original Virtual City (TMA Review) last year and found it to be an entertaining casual variation on the build-your-own-city theme. Though much closer to the Transport Tycoon franchise in spirit than SimCity, the mixing of various gameplay elements and the addition of quests to guide the development made for an excellent package. Building on this quest system G5 Entertainment has done what seems to be the fashionable thing these days and has gone freemium with Virtual City Playground.

If I wished to stick with my analogy of Jane’s Zoo (TMA Review) being a Time Management Lite game, then Supermarket Mania 2 would be Time Management Deluxe.  While I love TM games I’m no expert at them, yet this is the first one in a long time that I’ve not been able to attain the expert level the first time around an almost any level.  For those of you wondering – that’s a good thing.  Usually time management game levels don’t take long to complete, and I don’t mind playing them 2 or 3 times to achieve the top ranking.  Add to that all the little bells and whistles, and this is probably one of the best games in the genre to grace my iPod Touch’s little screen.(...)

I’ll admit I’m a bit of a softy when it comes to Time Management games, because I don’t mind the fact that most of them have the exact same flow to their gameplay.  Still, it’s nice when something takes a little bit different approach to the genre, and I think Jane’s Zoo handles that quite nicely.  It does feel a bit like it’s geared more towards younger players, but I’ve always considered myself young at heart anyway, and I’m rather enjoying the change of atmosphere and slightly simpler game play.  Hard core Time Management junkies might find it a tad too simplistic, but I think it makes a great casual game that’s an easy entry for those with no experience in the TM genre.

A lot of people loved the game Scoops, and while I did find it amusing in small bursts, I was never really a fan.  Then along came Crawlspace Games, developer of the quirky clown assault game Knife Toss, and mixed a dash of time management and a whole heapin’ helping of zombies into the mix.  The result is an interesting and quite challenging game called Zombies Ala Mode.  Don’t let its cute exterior fool you, it dishes out the difficulty in all kinds of flavors.(...)

The “Dash” series of time management games has always been a big hit on the PC, and it’s made an excellent transition to the iPhone world.  Hotel Dash is the latest entry in the series, and it’s upped the ante in several ways.  If you’re a time management veteran you’ll feel right at home and appreciate the additional challenge, but if you’re new to the whole concept this might not be the best place to start.  So far I’m loving it, and I can’t wait to see what the next installment in the franchise has to offer.

Miriel the Magical Merchant from Gamehouse is a time management game in the same vein as the like of Diner Dash and Sally’s Salon. In this particular game you play as Miriel, an “ordinary girl with extraordinary powers” who’s charged with the ever important task of running her family business and supplying her kingdom with food supplies.

I’m not sure if I should feel so weak in the knees every time I turn on Supermarket Management HD, but golly I do. Time management games can be fun, but when they are made with as perfect a rhythm and the cutest of graphics as SMHDis , they are the sweetest of high school romances. What follows is a true love story.
