I played this game for a while. It was a lot of fun, also a great time waster. Not a good thing when you have tons of homework.
I had lots of fun with it, although I didn't do so great with it. My opinion is to train your Creature properly. I never got the hang of doing that, so I spent a lot of time micromanaging things. If your Creature learns to take care of smaller stuff, it frees you up to get things running smoothly.
