The name of this Yahoo Game is in fact Ranch Rush 2: Sara’s Island Experiment. Sara is the main character is the game, a very hard-working girl, that starts a new rach from the scratch and behaves as a cowboy, in the good sense. She is always at work, doing everything to maintain the growth of her farm.
Let’s see a quick walkthrough of this game. You have to buy some soil and plant some some crops. In this way, you will guarantee yourself the possibility of ending the game sooner, if you would like that. Being such a nice game, the possibity is at your choice. For example, I could play this game on and on. Like a good farmer, you have to plan ahead. Just like a chess player, all your moves have to be thought very wisely before you actually do them. If you take a decision and then you realise that it wasn’t exactly the best decision that you could have taken, you can’t just go back. You can start the game all over again, but you can’t take the game back with 4 minutes or 5 or 6. After you have made a decision, that decision remains valid, whether you like it or not. It was YOUR decision, so stop complaining. Start the game again, if you don’t like the continuation of it.
There are some crops that take several minutes to produce their plants, vegetables. Other types of crops produce their plants sooner, but there are situations in which you need those plants that grow slower in your farm and you must plant them. If you have made a mistake by clicking ahead, you can delete that mistake, by pressing the spacebar. You can use the Move Mode, to stop the times, but to see the farm, just like you would see it if you would play the game. Those who have coins (will get to that later), will be able to buy décor items. Also, the farmer can sell itesm from his farm and obtain money from that sale. In the Buy or Sell modes, the times stops, you don’t have to stop it by clicking on it. You can see your progress in the ranch, by checking the green marker.
Let’s start the game and see more. The game starts with the presentation of the Sara’s journal. The game is supposed to take place in 9 weeks. The last week is the Finish week. First you need to plant and harvest your crops. How to do that? If you have played games of this kind, you already know the procedure; you have to plant the vegetables, the trees and so on, wait for a certain period of time and then harvest the vegetables, the fruits, get the apples from the tree and so on.
You have to get the bag with the seeds, plant them into the soil and wait for the first flowers to come out. The bag with the seeds is provided by the game, so you don’t have to buy the first seeds. There could be this possibility if you had money, but instead the game provides you with seeds. After you see that the flowers are starting to grow, you have to take a crate to pick up those flowers and think ahead by selecting the operations that Sara must do. So, the first operation is to plant the flowers. Then you have to get the crate, pick up the flower and get it into the location, where you keep your flowers. You can get up to 3 crates at once, but you can get only one flower for a single crate. The flower grows on a single spot of soil. The next level starts with some money, the money you earned from the first level. In this second level, you will have in your farm not only wildflowers (the first type of flowers used in the game), but also… bananas. Remember, you live on an island and the air temperature allows you to plant banana trees.
Each level of the game requires you to pick up a certain number of wildflowers, of bananas and so on. The round ends when you finish harvesting the desired vegetables, fruits and flowers. It is good that you don’t have to water the plants, like in other games. You simply need to plant them and harvest them. So, the game is not that hard, being recommended for kids, but also for the “bigger kids”.
If Sara is not put to work and you have something to do, so the game isn’t over, nor the plants need to grow (they are already ready to be harvested), Sara will say: “I’m ready” making you attentive to the fact that the game is still running and so is the timer. The next level requires the player to get a coconut from a tree. Normally, you won’t put Sara to climb in that tree. But instead of doing this, you will provide up to three bananas to a monkey, who will be more than happy to help you. The monkey asks for two bananas at start. So, you harvest the bananas, but you don’t get with the bananas to the barn, but to the coconut tree, where the monkey is supposed to be. In fact, the monkey is wondering around all your screen, when he is hungry.
After the monkey receives his meal, he will get the coconut you want. The third level requires you to provide a single coconut, but in time you will be asked to provide more coconuts from a level. And also more wildflowers and more bananas. There will be levels in the game, where you will not be needed to provide bananas, but instead other type of fruits that will be required for the good continuation of the game. You evolve with your farm. These fruits and flowers that are required in the first levels of the game may not be required in the last week of the game.
