I thought the game had a lot of potential. But fell way short. the controls were nearly imposible to understand and the help feature stopped working

This game is awful...the control features do not work...all you do is click on things that don't do anything. I was looking forward to this game, but i am very very disapointed!!! DO NOT waste your time on this game

I downloaded the trial and I found this game extremely difficult to control and perform the tasks, even when following the instructions to the letter. I couldn't even access the menu button whilst in-game. I found this a very frustrating experience after only playing for 10 minutes.
I don't know whether it's something with my system, although I've had no problems playing other games in the past, or whether the makers need to have a look at how they've written the game, but something needs to be done to improve how you can get the character to carry out tasks more easily.

i too was having problems with the clicking when i first started the game, but then i put the game in window mode and it worked just fine. i do wish the workers worked a bit faster and it is hard making the customers happy. but all in all its not that bad of a game.

I too usually love farming games but I had the same problem. I couldn't plant the strawberries. I tilled the soil and then the game kept telling me to click the plant icon, but it wouldn't register. I tried to restart, but it happened again. Sad, I was looking forward to this one

As I see with a lot of the players, I too had lots of problems with this game. I love the concept but the game has so many glitches that I will not buy it until they fix them. You can only play the game in window mode or else the controls dont work. That is why some of you could not plant the strawberries at the beginning. I want to play full screen. In window mode the game is too hard to control. You cant pan very easily while you are playing in window mode. I would not waste my money on this one until they fix it.

Purchasing the game did not solve any of the problems. Some of the icons simply will not click. You get to a certain point and then are unable to do anything new.

there seem to be a lot of bugs in this game I only manaaged to get about 15 mins free play. Had to install it twice. I still can't get it to work on full screen. There is not enough info available on the menus. Shame really as I like this type of game and play Alice Greenfinger 1 and 2. Don't think I will risk buying incase there ar the same problems.

I have just discovered the perfect game... if I'm ever suffering from insomnia!
YUCK!
This game was exceedingly dull, the characters just drag from one task to the next leaving tons of dead time while you just watch them move painfully slowly to their next task.
There are a lot of really fun farming games out there; Ranch Rush! Dairy Dash! Farm Frenzy! etc. This unfortunately isn't one of them.
DON'T buy it before playing the trial - you may be sorely disappointed!

This is a great time management game that doesn't end in a couple of days of play. (in which I like) There are a lot of goals to do. This game takes time to play, it is relaxing, not fast pased.. Kind of different then other time management games but that a nice twist. You get to hire more help in the orchard which you will need right away all around great game. graphics are good. Kids can play this game.
