I am hooked on We Rule
I was listening to one of Leo Laportes shows recently, if you don’t tune it, head over to www.twit.tv and checkout things like This Week In Google, This Week In Tech and Munchcast to name but three of his shows, it was on there I heard about We Rule.
We Rule is a free game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, if your looking for a similar game on Android try the free game called Papaya.
They are all clones of the farming game on Facebook, or so I hear (I’m not much of a Facebook fan) and it is extremely simple and yet addictive.
You are given a plot of land, some cash and something called Mojo! Mojo, lets you build things faster and grow crops faster, it’s a bit like waving a magic wand over your crops.
The game is free but if you want to purchase extra Mojo to progress faster in the game then that will cost your from $2.99 for 30 Mojo points all the way up to $29.99 for 800 Mojo points. You don’t need a lot of Mojo to make a difference and as your progress in the game you get free Mojo, so you can enjoy the game for free.
If I make this sound difficult then I apologise as this game is not difficult at all to play, it does suck you into it’s world though.
You grow crops, which grow in REAL time(ish) (carrots take six hours, pumpkins three, Corn only takes 45 seconds, etc). Once you have grown your crops you need to click on them to harvest them and sell them, this gives you cash to buy more crops or other things like houses.
If you don’t harvest your crops in a reasonable amount of time they go bad and you have to clear your plot of land.
Houses, schools, businesses all generate incomes. They do this like crops on differing timescales. Schools in 24 hours, Gems in a few hours and houses in around three hours.
The came continues with you buying plots of farm land, building things, adding features like trees, ponds, fountains, lights, etc
Remember the game is completely free and you can play it totally in free mode, corn is free to buy and earns you five coins in the 45 seconds it takes to harvest it. On the other hand you can decide to go for it and buy yourself a little Mojo to progress.
So far I have a lovely castle with a fair amount of land (land size increases the bigger the building YOU live in) and I did all that with no purchased Mojo, though I did claim 5 extra Mojo points for trying out another of this companies games, offers pop up when you open the game if they are available, kind of cool in-game features are given for real world trials.
Anyway, it’s all very good and very addictive, give it a go, search for We Rule on the app store.
