Use the mouse to control Alice. Click where you want Alice to go. If you
click on an item, Alice will pick it up. Depending on what item you are
holding, Alice will do different things the next time you click. The game
contains a tutorial that will teach you how to play in more detail when you
begin playing.
The game takes place during a
full month, playing one day at a time. You start off with learning the
basics of preparing, growing and harvesting a crop. Once you have harvested
your first crops, the town market will be open for your business. The local
citizens are always happy to buy fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers at a
decent price, but as you gain more knowledge, experience and popularity the
quality of your groceries goes up, and your customers will be willing to
spend more. At the end of each day you will be handed a summary to let you
know how you have been doing.
The game contains a shop where
you can buy new items to expand your farm. By selling your crops at the
market you earn money to spend in the shop. In the beginning, the shop only
contains a few items. New items, such as new flower seeds and helpful tools,
are introduced as you play the game.
Game Tips
Hold the mouse pointer over
buttons for a few seconds to see a tooltip with information about what
it does.
If you are carrying an
object, click on Alice to put it down.
You don't have to wait for
Alice to finish each task before telling her what to do next. For
example, if you have a seed bag, you can click on several patches of
soil and Alice will remember each click and sow them all, one at a time.
Each click is represented by a small arrow. If you want to cancel the
click queue, simply press the right mouse button or the space bar on
your keyboard.
At the bottom right of the
screen, you will find a toolbox with three icons. These buttons change
the control mode. The first controls Alice. This is the normal gameplay
mode. The second allows you to move items on the farm using the mouse.
The third allows you to throw away items.
When selling your crops at
the market, you should adapt your prices to the current market demand.
Click on the stats button in menu at the left side of the screen, and
then on the market tab. Here you can see how popular each crop is at the
moment. Popular crops can be sold for higher prices!
If you hold the mouse
pointer over some items, a colored bar will appear telling you how full
the item is. For instance, in case of the watercan, the bar tells how
much water is inside. For a box, the bar tells you how many crops are
inside.
Each patch of soil has two
bars; one blue bar and one red bar. The blue bar tells how much water is
available, and the red bar lets you know the current health condition of
the plant.
If a plant is growing
slowly, it might be because the health is low. You can increase a
plant's health by putting a piece of fertilizer on the patch!
Advanced users can use the
keyboard to control certain functions:
Escape - Pause
the game at any time. In some situations you can also press Escape
to cancel the current action.
Arrow keys -
Move the game screen.
'M' - Open or
close the menu
'S' - Open or
close the shop.
Don't let the game stress
you. It is not necessary to harvest crops directly when they are ripe.
Also, unlike traditional arcade games you can not "die". So,
take it easy and do things in your own pace.
