And even if you don’t go to market, you get a free $2 every time you pick up the apples that fall conveniently from preplanted trees, so you’ll never run out of money for crates or other essential supplies.Ĭrops are low maintenance, too.
You can rearrange the garden, plant roses, play with the dog, pick apples… The “day” will continue until eventually you get around to meeting the stated goal. And you can take as long as you want and do whatever you want until that goal is met! What’s different is that the round lasts exactly as long as it takes you to meet that goal. It may be making $250, or planting 3 sunflowers, or selling 20 crates of tomatoes.
If you’ve played Ranch Rush, a time and resource management game with great graphics, you may at first think Alice Greenfingers 2 is just a retro clone.īut the gameplay for Alice Greenfingers 2 is completely different. Seeds are planted, blossom, and are harvested in the usual farm crates. Upgrades include sprinklers, fertilizer, and livestock pens. There are seeds and shovels and watering cans. In fact, the slower you go, the more points you can get-but then getting the highest score isn’t really the goal.Īlice Greenfingers was one of the first farming-themed games, and it has many familiar features. However, the tutorial was weak, and many players never realized there was a sim in the background, or that goods continue to sell when the market window was closed.Īlice Greenfingers 2 drops most of the sim aspects, but retains its most unique feature: this is an untimed game. The first Alice Greenfingers was a business sim that looked like a time management game. And while it takes some getting used to, the reward can be hours of stressfree satisfaction. Like a warm Spring day spent puttering in the garden, Alice Greenfingers 2 is as much about process as it is about produce. But to fully enjoy the game as it is, you have to put aside all your preconceptions about what it’s supposed to be. What would happen if you took a time management game and offered it in untimed mode? Alice Greenfingers 2 has the answer, and it turns out to be surprisingly engaging.
