Farm Mania

I chose casual for my demo - no timers for me!

There's a whole lot of clicking in this game. You (the main character) can carry two things at once and you can "stack" instructions to a point, but Grandpa will only draw up one pail of water at a time or gather one bundle of corn at a time. You end of waiting on him a lot, and it's irritating. Back and forth, plant, plant, plant, water, hoe, water, hoe, feed the geese, water, hoe, collect produce/eggs, water, etc.

You can upgrade items, of course, and believe me, as soon as I had the money, I got the well that could bring up two pails of water at once! Even then, you need too much water and can't get it fast enough. Water for the different livestock and water for six individual garden plots - there's just too much to do! Even though the level [i]isn't timed, you have a certain amount of time in which to collect the eggs, water the plants, water and feed the livestock, hoe the plants, etc.

The music is irritating to me and the gameplay is frustrating. I feel too rushed, even though the level isn't timed. I just didn't enjoy it.
