Gameplay

The game offers a female lead with a host of potential husbands as well as the regular crops and livestock to raise. As you play throughout the game there are various accomplishments that happen - getting married, buying your first livestock, shipping 100 of each crop - that can potentially save a sprite. You don't have to actually look for the sprites but rather attain these goals. The handling does not use much in the way of the touch screen. Rather most of the action is controlled by the A and B button to plant, water, and pick your crops. There is a new addition of a touch glove where you can actually pet your animals (similar to Nintendogs. There are over 5 different crops that you can plant as well as flowers and grass.
