Sometimes everyone needs to take a break from complicated, immersive games that are becoming more and more popular on Android, and simply enjoy a casual farming simulator. That describes Hay Day, a free-to-play game for Android.
Starting your agricultural empire
The game starts you off with a small farm containing only a patch of land and a nice, helpful scarecrow to guide you through the tough start. After planting some seeds, buying and feeding some chickens, and producing your first bread, you continue on your own to grow your business, earn coins, and expand your farm.Expanding the farm
The game unlocks various structures, plants to grow, and animals to keep on your farm as you level up. Customers will come by and ask if you have something to sell them. You can also make deliveries in order to earn money. Your farm can be expanded by cutting down the trees surrounding you. Here, you can place more structures or animals.Satisfying interactions and graphics
Performing various actions in Hay Day is quite satisfying, such as moving the scythe to harvest plants, dragging the bag of seeds above chickens to feed them, and watching your bakeries produce bread. The game is well-designed, and it looks smooth with its cartoonish graphics.The freemium waiting game
However, chickens take 20 minutes to lay an egg, bread takes five minutes to make, etc. Of course, this can be sped up using in-game diamonds, which can be purchased for real money. It's freemium at its finest, so this definitely isn't a game to focus on heavily or simply pick up and play for hours!
