The max order amount quickly becomes insufficient for the tea demands of the british empire. Also the market prices sometimes fluctuate to the point where you cannot afford to buy either opium or tea. Definitely needs some balancing issues addressed.
These facebook-esque games that force you to wait hours for progress and offer minor game boosts with ridiculous price tags need to burn in farmville hell.
Another response for Galactus: It's not so much that people love this game, it is that your comment underrates the creative yet simple concept this game has. It was obviously not an effort to make an epic puzzle game, but a fun way to tell a story and entertain you for ten minutes. The rating system is not simply a measure of how good a game is but more how well people who played it liked it. If you hold your cursor over the stars you will find a pop-up ranging from hated it to loved it.
For those of you having trouble on level fourteen: Place 3 fans on the far left electric wire; one above power supply and two at the top of the wire all facing to the right. Then place a steam detector where the steam snakes to. Directly next to that place the ball dropper. On that same wire place the robot at the bottom facing left, above the robot put the remaining fan facing to the right, and above the fan put the magnet facing to the left. Finally place the last steam detector on the opposite end of the wire containing the water dispenser. Flip the switch and you're on to level 15.
