Oinky Tonk vs Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Oinky Tonk
Oinky Tonk is a casual game where you get to spin a wheel to decide whether you can attack another player, build your island, or plunder others' islands for money to fund the construction/decoration efforts for your island. There are, naturally, many islands that you will be able to progress to and eventually own.However, you can, in turn, be attacked (destroying some of the stuff you've built) and plundered (lose your cache of cash) as well so it would be wise to have shields on at all times. You can perform retaliatory attacks, thankfully, but this only works if your enemy doesn't have a shield on, obviously.
Generally, this game's gameplay is pretty similar to Pirate Kings and many other casual "Spin the Wheel"-type games, including its adorable graphics and fancy animation effects, and hence, Oinky Tonk would serve as a great alternative game to play.
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children is the second installment in the Virtual Villagers series. In this game, your small tribe managed to rescue a group of children adrift at sea. These children will need nurturing and it falls on you, the leader of the tribe to provide them with just that. Of course, you'll still need to explore the west side of Isola in hopes of discovering and learning more about the mysterious island.Similar to the previous game, Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children contains plenty of unpredictable events that will pop up from time to time to challenge your problem-solving skills. This effectively dispels the monotony of the day-to-day.
So, if you enjoy life simulation games or if you love playing Virtual Villagers' games, you'll want this in your game library as well.
