Farm Slam vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Farm Slam
Farm Slam is a fun-filled, farm-themed match-3 puzzle game whereby you are tasked with the restoration and rebuilding of a farm in the valley. Match 3 or more fruits and vegetables of the same type to collect them from the board, and if you match more than 3, you can get some really special crops which can clear entire rows or columns, or even all the other farm produce around them in a magnificent fashion! There are tons of exciting challenges and obstacles that will put your matching skills to the test as well. Due to this, the game does have some helpful power-ups that you can buy so you can solve some of the tougher levels.Not to mention, by earning energy, tools, and building materials, you can spruce the place up with brilliant decor, restore rundown buildings like the barn and the windmill, and even clear away obstacles on your farmland, such as stones and tree stumps, to open up more building slots. You can also expand your farm by piecing together parts of the deeds you'll need to claim neighboring plots of land.
Farm Slam is a very well-made match-3 puzzle/simulation game that mimics games like Matchington Mansion in many ways albeit with a much different theme. The game is incredibly fun to play and it just feels satisfying to be able to help restore the originally beautiful farm.
