This could be a lot of fun, and as far as I know a unique asset. Better still is the ability to sabotage other farms by stealing crops, adding bugs and weeds to their crops. You can water plants, weed them, use bug spray, fertilise crops and more. More farming madness, only this time Barn Buddy has a bit more complexity to bring to the table. It’s all going swimmingly for FishVille it would seem, and rounding things off nicely are even more fishy varieties to love and care for or, if like me, more varieties to see on their sides, floating at the surface of the tank.

Just don’t expect to get them any time soon. Pick of the bunch? Undoubtedly, the Aztec Pyramid and the Castle Ruins that cost a massive 1,000,000 coins and require you to be level 43 are the ‘coolest’ decorations that display your fish keeping prowess. Suffice to say a lot has been put in for you to jazz up your tanks.

Listing the decorations will take us to the New Year. There’s also some coloured gravel, sand and, erm, luminous rocks. Environments have been added, including various coral designs including a winter one with snow (I know, how do the fish survive, or the snow not melt?). Rinse and repeat until a high level or the will to live has waned.Īnyway, back to the content. You then wait and sell the slippery customers for gold and experience. Instead of planting seeds, you hatch fish and they grow in real-time. That doesn’t mean sheep in a fish tank I’m referring to the way the game works. If you haven’t played FishVille, it’s essentially a mix of Happy Aquarium and FarmVille. FishVilleįor those who enjoy wet-nursing fish, rejoice: a fish-load of content has been added. You can also now gift Blitzen, Santa’s Helpers (who look strangely like Hired Muscle – lazy effort), and a Snow Fort should you wish to help your friends get festive. This means you can run a unique mission every eight hours to gain experience and maybe some other interesting items. Hopefully a more even playfield will be the reward, but unfortunately there will always be hackers and cheaters no matter what a developer does.įrom a content point of view, it’s Public Enemy week. A fix is on the way, so those affected should be happily murdering other mafia members in no time, though.Īside from speeding up the game, the new changes are aimed at hurting the current offensive from hackers, cheaters and ‘botters’ (presumably people who use a computer program to do all the clicking for them). The downside of the performance boost is some people can no longer enter the game, and/or the scrambling of their name and stats occurs. Zynga is allegedly working to sort out Mafia Wars, and as a result the game has speeded up nicely.
