I downloaded the game from http://www.ubrothers.com/downl oads.html. The size of the file is 42.3M, and it took me about 12 minutes to download it. According to the introduction of the game, I know that it is a game of gardeners, which is the kind of game that I like. So, I installed it in my computer to have a trial play immediately after downloading it.

While downloading the game, I read more about the introduction of the game, and I got the main task of the game. Jimmy and Jessie lived in Bloodland happily, but Mr. Zorg created a chemical Compound-X to freeze whatever creatures bothering him. He poured the Compound-X into Bloomland's source water, but queer things happened. Many monsters appeared to destroy the vegetables on Bloomland. The task requires us to help Jimmy and Jessie to protect their vegetables and discover the mystery of the weird things.

It is a game of 40 levels. I haven't finished all the levels yet, but I like the story of the game, which is rather interesting, I think. When I started to play the game, I found that there is a violation against API, which was warned by the anti-virus software. I know that it may not be a virus at all, but I think the programmers of the game should change it and make it goes along well with the anti-virus software. I don't know if the other players encounter the same problem. It caused the down of my computer once. After this small incident, I began to enjoy playing the game.

There are two characters for us to choose to guard the vegetables: Jimmy and Jessie. Jimmy has slower speed than Jessie, but he has more strength and longer extension of life. I chose Jimmy and clicked the start button. The graphics have very bright color, and the texts telling the story have a nice display. The sound effect of the game is OK. I like reading the story while going on the journey of the game. There are instructions, too. When we play the game, we need to read the instructions carefully, for the instructions offer not only what we should do but also how to do it. It is very considerate for the programmers to make it this way.

I played to the level three without any pause, and I got 35660 points when I finished the level three. In the very beginning, I didn't know how to use the water house. However, after the instruction appeared several times, I started to know to use water house to help to kill the monsters. It is really enjoyable. I found one funny thing. When I swapped the monster with three hearts to a corner and kept swapping it, the monster could not be beaten to death, and my scores were flying to increase. If I didn't stop beating it, there would be no end to this action. Therefore, I think that this should be changed, too. Either let the monster die after a certain number of swaps, or let the monster kill Jimmy or Jessie. It should not be an endless action at all.

According to the five-star grading system, I would like to give this game 3.5 stars, for there are some points to be improved. Otherwise, I would give it four stars.
