Good simple game concept
07/05/2024

Easy Going 5
Flow of the game is a bit off and out of balance. Base ingredient things like flour you can only make 4 flour at a time but everything we make takes flour So your constantly making flour instead of playing the game. Similar with the base feed maker for 3 animals it has 4 slots but each of the 3 animal types takes 4 feed at a time so never enough feed. Back to the flour and other base ingredients 4 flour at a time and most things we make take at least 3 flours So with 3 visitors on the farm and 2 in the restaurant thing that is 5 people to serve average of at least 3 flour per person is 15 flour needed to serve one round of customers ? But the flour maker only makes 4 flour at a time. So your constantly making flour and planting wheat instead of playing the game. Then to top it off the man in the truck will ask for those base ingredients like flour making it even harder to have flour to make food for visitors. Really not enough time to wait on so many customers in different places the truck guy, visitors and the restaurant. So have to take turns ignoring them and doing achievements and decorating. Who ever heard of a farm needing decorations crazy keep it simple and build a flow to the game. Players need to be friendlier to build a community where farm visitors are welcome. We should be able to visit more than one farm and water stuff for other players.

Very monotonous and not well paced

I’ve only been playing for about 3 days, and have unlocked the 3rd area. I thought this might be an interesting game. I play a lot of farming games, farm sims, console games, etc. This one has a few issues. To start with you are bombarded by quests. They have any where from 3-4 to 6-11 parts per quest per character. But as soon as you finish one, and the character ‘leaves’ they come right back with another one. There is no downtime in this game where you can play with other aspects. If you try, you may start to run out of cash/resources bc it expects you to bounce between the quests. But the whole game is getting a maker, using it to fulfill a quest, and then having to upgrade that maker (by using another maker) to fulfill another quest. And you’re just spending hours upgrading and waiting. It’s basically a pay-to-play game that would typically have micro transactions to speed things up, but doesn’t have them in this myb bc it’s in arcade. But then has no depth. And that’s comparing it to games like the OG FarmVille, or what’s that one Wyldeflowers(?) that’s on Arcade but is a full game and available on console too. Or Japanese Rural life which isn’t as full as a console game but doesn’t force the same actions right after each other. 3 stars is generous.

I was excited to see the new update, but when I signed on today, all my trees need to be watered, it will not refill my water. It says that I have all my water, which I do not, and it will not let me use the water that I do have so I can’t water and everything needs to be watered. This needs to be fixed ASAP! I’m sure there are quite a few other bugs but I haven’t gotten beyond the whole watering thing. Can you please upgrade the WELL, i will get all the water available and it runs out before I can water one crop of wheat which is usually about 30 plants. Then you have to wait almost 10 min for one refill which is only good for 8 plants, and forget about watering trees which takes a ton of water just to get 3 fruit. Please Please Please More water! Also open up more areas for planting there isn’t enough room. Thank you for additional levels but would love more.

Good game but needs QOL improvements

Great game but I think some quality of life improvements would make it even better. Sometimes when you play you are constantly getting rewards, which is fine but you are unable to skip through the animations, this makes gameplay clunky and slower. The ability to tap through the rewards animations would be awesome. It’s also clunky trying to use your boosts. When you click the boost twice, you still need to wait 2-3 seconds for the animation to complete. When trying to use a bunch of boosts at once, this can be super annoying having to sit there and spam the button for 8-10 seconds. Once the boost is is double tapped, you should be able to grab your item or use another boost immediately. Also sometimes my character gets stuck behind a fence trying to find a route to my flag, and gathering seems to take an inefficient route sometimes.
