this is a match three game with a storyline. i wasn't impressed with it, but it is a decent time-waster if you are on the subway and have nothing to read or do to occupy your time.
I don't recommend this game.

like ranch rush, which this game resembles, this game is extremely carefully thought-out and executed. the graphics are cute and nicely designed, the sound is great, the voice is nice to listen to (but not annoyingly chatty), and there are so many possibilities for how to set up the "farm" that the game just doesn't get boring. unlike many games i've played, which are designed to make you figure out EXACTLY which steps the designer had in mind and to execute those steps in PRECISELY the correct order OR ELSE, there are a number of approaches that you can use to progress from one level to the next in this game.
all my comments for "ranch rush" apply here, too. addictive to play, but in a fun and engaging way. a most pleasant adrenaline rush.
I recommend this game!
Cash in on crops, tend your animals, and rack up trophies in this exciting race to turn three acres into a thriving Time Management ranch.

i saw this as the daily special and decided to try it. i wasn't sure what to expect, although the premise seemed kinda corny. (no pun intended. okay, a wee bit of a pun intended!) but i was surprised when my free 1-hour demo time ran out after what seemed like just a few minutes of play. so of course, i purchased the game and played nearly all night.
one thing that may not appeal to some people is the time limits are longer than most "beat the clock" games and the number of assigned tasks may be too numerous to keep them all straight (well, at first). but i enjoy the freedom that longer time periods give me to actually think about what i am doing instead of racing through each level after playing it repeatedly to figure out the precise timing required to beat the clock. i also enjoy the many tasks that need to be completed at each level. the sheer number of choices for how to set up your "farm" provides a lot of thought-provoking possibilities, too.
ranch rush is challenging and diverse enough to be interesting gaming without being annoyingly overwhelming. a pleasant adrenaline rush.
I recommend this game!

ill-conceived and poorly thought out

this video game has so much potential -- as an idea. but i did not enjoy it because the story line and game design were poorly thought out and have nothing to do with reality of working in a zoo or conservation program. the music was really tacky (although i did enjoy the crow's calls) and it wasn't very challenging. not only that, but it just wasn't fun to play. two thumbs down.
I don't recommend this game.
