Sitting on my computer on a Saturday afternoon I wondered to my myself: "What the hell? Am I worried coz I'm farming tomatoes and the market is asking for roses? What's wrong with me? Why can't I have a real life?!?!?". That's what happens when playing Alice Greenfingers, the new simulation/strategy game developed by Arcade Lab. You can't explain it, but suddenly you are more interested on manure, farm animals, flowers and where to place your newly-achieved ducks fond on your garden than on what's going on in the real world. I tell you, there could be a bloody earthquake in your neighborhood and you will stay there watching how a good-for-nothing customer hesitates in front of your shop in the market trying to decide between daysies and roses.

Everything starts when Alice decides to become a farmer. The game doesn't explain the reasons. My own personal hypothesis:

"Her boyfriend dumped her and went on a relationship with her bestfriend. Now after some months in a highly depressive mood and visiting a shrink she wants to move on. Farming is the answer to that spooky suicidal tendencies she had those days..."

Could be. No, I'm kidding mates! This is not what the developers of the game thought! That's for sure! This game is nothing but another sample of how creative can the human brain be in order to develope really addictive mechanics and as soon as you try it, you will fall in love with it!

But let's talk about that masterpiece of the entertainment. Playing that game is not highly complicated. Use your mouse and move Alice from one place to another around the garden. Sow, harvest, go to the market, sell, buy new kind of seeds or tools, get some hens, cows... All of that is accurately explained during the tutorial that you will have to complete at the beginning of the game, and some tips will appear as long as you reach new levels. So, no worries!

Things get taugh after a few minutes. Then, you will have to become a kind of a flowers tycoon. Problems and problems, all at the same time. Dying tomatoes due to lack of water supply, new market trends that make you reorganize your garden, enormous amounts of fruit that need to be harvested... and now, what else?

At least, the game developers had mercy and provided us of a very relaxing atmospheric music instead of the usual "hurry-up-man-your-house-is-on-fire" melodies. Another point in their favour, thanks guys!

And there's more (still!). Alice Greenfingers will make your most hidden dream come true... For all of us who never won anything in our life: go and get the Tomatoe Sales Award! That's it a very nice way of rewarding our efforts. A lot of different types of awards are waiting for you during the game, if your are good enough to deserve them!

So, I confess, I would never have a farm or a garden or anything different from a plastic flower on the top of my monitor. I'd rather play Alice Greenfingers. It's way more fun!
