This is another Facebook game similar to other farm-tending games like Farmville, Farmtown and Country Story. I just thought of checking it out after seeing a friend's post about it. The very first thing that came to mind was that it looks and feels a lot like Ranch Rush of Yahoo!, although there isn't any character that you order around to do jobs. Games like these are already so common in Facebook that the developers didn't even bother setting up a tutorial. Speaking of developers, I am still checking out who they are, because they don't seem like from Playfish or Zynga.

Some of the features of the game:

1. No more crops going bad if not harvested. I thought I won't be playing the game for long since the first crop you can plant, Clover, matures in four hours. Which is quite fast for a casual player that only gets to check Facebook once or twice in a day, even if it goes bad at the same rate that it ripens. But turns out it doesn't spoil, even after I visited the game several days later.

2. There are a couple of machines that you can use to process crops you harvest. For starters, you get to use a cheese machine to process milk that you get from feeding clover to cows. Then there's the ketchup machine, the flour mill, and a chicken coop. They just introduced rabbits, but I don't exactly know yet what they are supposed to produce.

3. Crops, animals, and machines can actually be gifted to you by friends who already reached a certain level to be qualified to gift them. You will also need a certain number of friends to become your neighbors for you to be able to expand your ranch (or you can shell out some real cash for it).

The game do require that you spend a considerable amount of time feeding animals, planting or processing harvests. More so than you would playing, say, Cafe World. But I guess that's the game design and it's fairly reasonable.

That's it for now. I am pretty new in the game, but I will try to update on this as I go along.
