This is a fun and cute game for people who enjoy games that allow you to decorate your own tiny part of the world. Farming, decorating, socializing and even battling bad guys. This is a mix of all the more popular points people enjoy from social media games.This game is brought to you by the people at COM2US. I already had an account set up there so starting this game was easy. You can also sign up as a guest, if you don't have a COM2US account already, or don't wish to set one up (It's free to do so).
Some COM2US games are free, others are pay games. All of their games have in game features you can purchase. However, purchasing those features is optional. You never need to make any real money purchases to go forward in the game. It's really just all cute fluff and so on.
You may be wondering why my character looks a bit boyish... That is because he's a boy. Why is he a boy? COM2US seems to believe I am of the male persuasion, and as such makes all of my game characters male. Do not ask me why. I find it a bit irritating. But I will live I tried to make him look more like a female tomboy.
This is your tiny plot of land, where your character lives. it's high up on a mountain top (I think?) and the only way to get there is by air ship. Despite that, don't think you are alone. Fierce animals will enter your land and attack you every now and then. Be ready to battle bears, foxes and other such pesky visitors. It will cost stamina to attack them. And you'll need a weapon (Generally you can use your ax or mallet that you obtained for gathering rock, wood and other materials).You have a set amount of stamina, depending upon your level. The stamina increases by one, every 5 minutes. Once it's maxed out it will not increase until you use some of it. You can also eat food to retain your stamina. But food costs stars (Real money) so use your stamina wisely.
Sometimes you receive food as a reward for visiting neighbors/friends or completing goals. You also obtain coins and experience points for completing goals. Your friend the fox girl will give you these goals. She is there to help you learn to live in this world. You can also fly over and visit her land as well.When visiting a friend's land you can help them by watering their plants, chopping their trees, harvesting their vegetables and so on. You can also say hello. This will increase your friendship bond with that person.
You will be expected to build many new buildings and plant vegetables. Plant trees and collect their fruit. Chop trees down to collect the wood for building with. Protect your land from wild animals, raise your own animals, decorate your area with plants and playground equipment. You can ride the equipment without needing stamina. Doing this ears you money and experience (Not sure how... If riding something gave me money, you had best believe I'd be at the playground all day).You may wonder what this has to do with a magic tree, yes? When you gather seeds and such from certain plants you can mix them together to make special magic seeds. These magic seeds grow magic trees that are very special. You can gather special ingredients from these trees.
You can change your character's clothing by visiting the clothing shoppe (Once you have built one). However, the selection is not vast. Half of the clothing is for males, half for females. You can not cross dress. Half of the items cost stars, half cost coins. I found this to be a bit unfortunate. All of the decent clothing costs real money. And not a small amount either. I could buy some clearance clothing for the price of digital clothing in this game. So I decided to stick to the coin clothing. However, even that is expensive. It's a shame my character can't learn to be a tailor. He'd make a fortune in this world!
The graphics are cute, and I like the variety of playground items and such. The planting is your basic social game planting. Different items take different amounts of time to grow. So grow items according to your daily schedule, or you'll be waking up and 4AM to pluck your pumpkins. it costs one stamina to harvest a garden section. No stamina to plant it. So be careful not to plant more than you can harvest.I like the scenes the game gives you for certain things such as when a wild animal appears, when you play on your rides, when you greet a friend and so on. You also get a scene when coming home or visiting someone else's. Though I tend to skip the scenes because they get old after you see the same scene 5 times. Below is a video I found of the game's promotion.
Overall it's a nice game. It has very few crash problems (But there are a few). The game can be a bit confusing at times as not everything is explained and there isn't really anywhere you can go in game to find answers.
I don't tend to enjoy social games like this (Farmville, Zombie Farm, Cityville, etc). They tend to be rather time consuming and needy. By needy I mean you constantly 'need' to go back and do something with your game. It isn't just a "play at your leisure" sort of game. It also causes the need for friends. Most of which are people you do not know, that you only friended in order to advance in the game. However, I am aware that these kinds of games are quite popular. If that's the sort of game you enjoy, this game is worth a try. It's free right now (Promotional), so if you want to try it, go for it now. If you wait, you'll end up paying full price for it.

It said I was a male at first too! You have to email them and ask them to change your profile gender to female. It probably wouldn't matter much now though because to change your gender in the game you'd have to start over. Do you know how to get "solid wood"?
