10月20日的Pocket Orchard应用程序分析

Pocket Orchard is a cozy farming game about running a small fruit orchard. You plan a four by four garden, plant strawberries, lemons, grapes and peaches, look after them while they ripen, and turn every harvest into coins. Crops keep growing while the app is closed, so a session can be as short as a few minutes. Come back, collect what is ready, plant the next round and get on with your day. Care is what separates a plain harvest from a great one. Watering uses a small timing meter, and releasing it at the right moment gives a quality bonus. Fertilizer can shorten the remaining growth time, raise the final quality or add an extra fruit. Soil gets tired if you plant the same crop in the same plot over and over, and rotating fruit helps it recover. Crops placed next to the right neighbour grow faster, yield more or sell for a better price. Every fruit you harvest is graded from common to perfect. Better grades sell higher and satisfy the customers who ask for premium produce. Local shops send orders every day. Some ask for exact amounts of a certain fruit, others ask for a basket that reaches a flavour target for sweetness, freshness or sourness. Deliver them for coins and experience, or take your harvest to the market instead, where prices move a little every game day. Coins go back into the farm. Upgrade the water tank, the barn, the market stall, the compost bin and your garden tools, unlock more plots, raise your farm level and open new crops and features as you go. An almanac keeps track of every fruit you grow, including how many you have harvested, how many reached perfect quality, your best sale and your mastery progress. Optional challenges add extra goals whenever you want them. Pocket Orchard is a single player game. It works fully offline, your progress is stored on your device, and there is nothing to buy inside the app.
