Huge advice: If you're struggling on a level, set the speed to .5, it'll take longer, but I've found that doing so immensely improves my standings.

Fun game! Wish there were a way to change the "queue" of activities (i.e. you tell 10 trucks to go to a location, but forget to clear the short path first)

Still an awesome game; getting the badges again is fun. Wish there were a Building Rush 3. Maybe a bigger game, possibly with railroads and ships.

for some reason some missions are just so dumb. you can ace any level before or after fine, but for some reason you simply can't beat this one with gold. that seems really arbitrary

An above average management game (given that it's free, that's excellent). It avoids the main pitfall that most games of this type suffer from, which is forcing you into one specific tactic that you have to enforce in a small window near the start of a level if you want to achieve the highest rank (and having to end up using trial and error to figure out what the correct method is). You can still easily doom yourself in the first 30 seconds of a level, but there are numerous paths which you can take that will lead to the gold medal.
It's a fun time for a few hours and you don't even need to get all of the currency from the in game achievements or upgrades to clear the game 24/24 gold medals.
Plus it's one of the few games on Kartridge which is free and has badges, so that alone is worth your time.

Game is decent but held back by a few features that really shouldnt be there such as starting the round before you can even look at the map

Overall, I enjoy this type of game, and this one does a pretty good job in the Strategy/Tycoon style. The addition of the helicopter in this episode does help to change up the mechanics a bit. However, the placement of the factory and road impediments does appear to be a bit too random. My profits on a given level can very by 50 - 150% based on my initial guess and setup of the board, which makes getting gold on every level a bit too random for me.

Enjoying this game but I do wish there was some "set up" time prior to starting a new level so you can mentally figure out how you want to attack the level.
