Tired of those city noises and duty routine? Need to find peace of mind and enjoy all amenities of country life? If so, Ranch Rush might just be the right game for you. Take advantage of all that country life has to offer with this wonderful farm themed, time-management simulator and take pleasure in “carefree” farm building freedom.
You will play as Sara, a pretty girl working at Jim's flower nursery. She adores flowers and can’t imagine her life without little flowery experiments. Why not to make a clover-grape bouquet, for example? But troubles are brewing for this flowers’ paradise when Jim announces that they are going into a bankruptcy. Her boss is ready to admit defeat, but not Sara! She has a brilliant idea how to save the nursery, yet she has only eight weeks to earn enough funds to save Jim’s flower-shop.
So, Sara takes on the task of solving Jim’s financial problems into her own hands. Jim owns three acres of free land and Sara decides to use it and cultivate flowers, fruit, and vegetables for sale. With start out cash of $2000 dollars, you start your farming by purchasing seeds, soil and other necessary things. When the kitchen garden is ready to use, it’s time to take the first order. It takes one day to supply a client. He gives you a list of products he would like to obtain. You can consult this list any time during the level to make your job easier.
Once the order is taken, it's time to start cultivating fresh and tasty plants. Sara waits for the first products, picks them, places into the crates and carries to the barn, and so on until all ordering products are ready. Remember that if you deliver additional products to clients, they will not pay more money so you have to be extremely careful about what you deliver. However, you can leave a surplus for the next level. On Saturdays, Sara goes to the market and you can sell goods left from the previous days. Products have different price, so you want to choose which of them to sell first because market has a time limit. Sell as much as possible and rack up your bonus cash.
The customers are diverse from each other and have their own preferences. As you progress through the game, their orders become even more varied and you will have to work harder to get them just right. To supply the clients with special items such as honey or milk you’ll have to buy a hive and a cow or other varied items. From the third week, she can get a machine that will make ketchup with tomatoes. Then you can buy a cheese-making machine and so on. Ranch Rush has many pleasant upgrades which you’ll discover as you advance in the game. All of them are sold in the shop, and you can purchase them when you have the money.
Ranch Rush proves that the farming theme is inexhaustible in time management games. It might seem that after Farm Frenzy, Chicken Chase, Little Farm and others there can’t be much more novelty. But Ranch Rush is a great game that features a lot of advantages and fun. First, you are not limited to the number of upgrades to buy. Second, all of your progress is saved and when you start the next level all goods that you piled up before the last level ended will appear automatically. So, if you have enough time to make extra crops – it will only be to your advantage later in the game. Moreover, you can design your ranch to your taste. It depends on you where your flower beds and animals will be situated. In fact, your farm can be so big that it will not fit on the screen. In this case, you’ll have to scroll around so you can see what happens in the other parts of the farm.
On top of all the perks above, Ranch Rush features nice and colorful graphics. Grab this game up and good luck with Sara’s experiments and saving the farm.
