Farmerama is farming simulator by Bigpoint where players can grow and harvest crops and raise animals. Through a variety of chores and delivery orders, players level up and gain access to more advanced crops and more rare animals. As of July 2011, there are over 30 million registered users of the game, available in over 30 different languages.

Environment

Each player begins with a simple farm which can be expanded upon and customized depending on where a player chooses to place their decorations, animal pens, crops, etc. There is also a City that players can visit where they can purchase seeds, expand their buildings and send gifts to neighbors.

Gameplay

A vibrant color palette and an easy to learn point and click interface.

Economy

Items can be purchased with either Country Coins (virtual currency) or Barnyard bills (real currency). There is also a Farmers Market where players can buy or sell their crops, animals and other things.

Farming and Livestock

When the land is properly prepared, seeds can be planted. After a time (different to each specific crop), the seeds will mature and sprout into a crop that can be harvested for experience points and saved for use in delivery orders. This growing process can be sped up by using water on the land before the crop is fully grown. If an animal pen is built on the land, animals can be raised and given food and water until they reach maturity. Once they are fully grown, they can be used for delivery orders or offered for sale at the Farmers Market. Experience points are also gained from raising animals.

Players
