Big Barn World vs Zen Koi
Big Barn World
Big Barn World is a pretty unique farm simulation game, mainly because it takes social aspect of social farming simulations to a whole new level. In this game, you'll not only need to plant, grow and harvest your own crops; you will also get to raise a variety of adorable animals. All the harvest and animal produce you obtain will then be sold to earn money. There are many farm plots you can unlock as you level up while certain plots are reserved for "members" of the Farmers with Benefits club.The really unique part about the game though is not the fact that you can visit your friends' farms - that has been done multiple times across most farm sims - but the fact that you can plant special seeds in specifically-designated friend plots on your friends' farms. You won't be able to take care of the crop as your friend will do that for you, but when the crop matured and it sold, both you and your friend will get a cut of the profits!
Big Barn World may not be as popular as Farmville or any of Facebook's more popular farm sims, but the game offers something different; something more social that will do well with players with plenty of actively gaming friends. If this sounds like just the game for you, be sure to give it a try. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
Zen Koi
Zen Koi is a new breed of simulation game where you get to raise, breed, and collect beautiful Koi fishes. Featuring a casual gameplay accompanied with a calm and meditative soundtrack, this game is perfectly-designed to wind you down after a tough day. The gameplay is quite in-depth too for a casual game. Aside from feeding your Kois and helping them reach their mythical dragon form, you can find other Kois to breed (the game's more social aspect) to produce offsprings with unique patterns to add to your collection. There are hundreds of Japanese carp for you to collect, including some rare ones. Best yet, you can share the Koi patterns you have with your friends!Zen Koi's rapid rise to fame only proves that being an indie game doesn't really hamper a game's popularity as long as the gameplay is attractive to the players it is targeting. That being said, if you're looking for a soothing game, Zen Koi definitely fits the criteria. Try it now!
