Gameplay – 5/5

After you start the application, you have to work on your farm. First of all, you should select a place where you want to grow crops and vegetables. There is plenty of vegetation you can plant (wheat, corn, potato, carrot, etc.). But you won't be able to plant all the crops at one time. To plant a certain type of crops, you have to get a certain level.

If you tap on the icon that is located at the bottom left of your screen, you will enter the shop. There you will see 5 sections. The first section allows you to buy fields, chicken coops, cow pastures, etc. The second section allows you to buy animals. There are chickens, pigs, cows, etc. But in order to buy an animal, you have to earn enough money. For example, one chicken costs 10 coins. After you buy a chicken, for example, you should drag it into the chicken coop. It takes 20 minutes of real time to produce one egg. In the third section, you can buy various constructions, such as bakery, feed mill, dairy, etc. The fourth section allows you to buy apple trees, raspberry bushes, cherry trees, etc. The last section allows you to decorate your farm.

Controls – 5/5

The controls are pretty simple. To harvest your crops, tap on the crops, and then select the sickle icon. The controls remain the same even if you want to take the eggs from the chickens or milk a cow. The icons are different, but the mechanics are the same. You plant the crops the same way: just select any crops and swipe with your finger across the field.

Replay Value – 4/5
