HappyHippieAcres

I recently had the opportunity to review a game where the premise is to build a hippie commune. The game starts with two hippies and your main goal is to increase this number to eight. However, to build a successful commune in the game, you must ensure that the hippies are happy. Happy hippies enjoy food and beer, which must be grown, cooked, and brewed.

To start the process of growing food, such as carrots and chickens, you need to click on a hippie and then on an empty row or pen in the game. After a while, the row or pen will turn brown, and you need to water them. When they bear fruit or eggs, you can harvest them by clicking on the hippie and then on the row or pen.

Cooking and brewing processes are a bit more complicated. To cook food, you need to have clean dishes and prepared food. As dirty dishes pile up, clicking on a hippie and then the sink will clean them. Once the food has piled up, clicking on the counter will prep it. After both clean dishes and prepared food are available, you can click on the stove to cook food, which will increase the food meter.

The same process works for brewing beer. To brew beer, you need to prepare grains, wash bottles, and then brew the beer. The game's overall level of happiness is represented by a smiley face in the top center of the screen. If the commune remains happy, more hippies will join.

In terms of requirements, the game needs Java 1.5 or later, 125 MB RAM, and 30 MB free disk space. Overall, I found the game engaging, and I enjoyed the challenge of building a hippie commune. The detailed instructions and in-game guidance have made the gameplay smooth and easy to follow.
