![]() Farm Frenzy sucked me into its agricultural world like a well-designed game should. There were some moments where I had to replay the same missions to progress, due to some over-zealous early purchasing of upgrades, but even if you do have to replay a level to progress there’s still the option of competing in the global leaderboards to keep things interesting. The controls can be a little overwhelming at times, and the bears did seem to be a little over-zealous in their killing sprees, but once you have a cat picking up resources for you and you learn to time your grass growing, things become a little easier. This balance is made more important by the timed bonus objectives, forcing you to, say, buy a sheep in three minutes or produce a certain amount of food in two.Ĭompletion of the objectives both earns a medal and more ‘overall’ cash, which can be used to unlock more complicated and advanced machinery, not to mention more levels. Manually having to move your arrow around, picking up eggs and keeping your bakeries stocked should test even the most ice cool of Dash players, while balancing the money between upgrades and more animals will keep wannabe economists on tenterhooks. Every mission has a tight time-limit, and pesky bears will occasionally appear to kill your creatures and thoroughly mess everything up. Where the Frenzy part of the title comes in is that the products will disappear if left lying around outside of storage. This isn’t an automatic process, however, as you have to manually select the individual buildings to gather and produce the goods, as well as fill up the well, water the grass, and send the truck off laden with the finished products. The aim of the game is to balance the micro-economy of a farm so that your animals' raw goods are turned into varying layers of final produce, like cakes and yarn. ![]() It’s no surprise, then, to find out it’s a repetitive, boring time-sink of a game based around a social networking site.įarm Frenzy therefore will either be the ‘ FarmVille Turbo Alpha’ of repetitive manual labour simulations, or a match-three game, because match-threes are called literally anything.Ĭolour me surprised to find out it’s actually an absorbing, well-made economic strategy game with a Diner Dash feel. The ‘farm’ part hints at fairly tedious repetitive labour, while the ‘ville’ suggests there's a community aspect to proceedings. You are your own enemy.The name of a game often speaks volumes about the content. The good thing about this game is, it can be played almost entirely solo and you are not competing against anybody. ![]() Sometimes I don't even use the free totems from daily gifts and let them expire. Like you, I just do my dailies, events and daily bosses, then log off. I just came back 6 months ago, and just taking it easy. But as I mature (hopefully), these things don't bother me anymore. People who make a big deal out of the totems and the game's problems in general are probably in a similar situation to me back then. I don't know how I was able to do it back then, but needless to say, life has progressed and I have other things to prioritise now. Looking back, it was a pretty depressing period in my life. I had just finished uni, just broke up with my gf, always sleepy at work and I had no social life. After work, I would grind for 8 hours a day (2 coupons) on Skelegons, for only 5% gain, and losing 10% if I accidentally died. Install RES for your browser and enable Night Mode in the settings.ĭon't get sucked into the whole 2-hour cycle because you feel like you have to.īack when lvl 200 was the cap, there were 2x EXP coupons on a 4-hour time slot every day (same time every day), basically locking me in during those time slots LOL. ![]() MapleStory Guides Join our Discord! | MapleStory Guides! ![]()
