Games are not meant to be played only once. In fact, developers do go out of their way to create a game that has excellent replay value. It means that everyone in the market is always working to come up with a game that people will want to play again and again despite finishing the game already once or twice.

If you’re playing time management games, especially farm-based ones, in a linear manner, then you’re missing out on the fun! There’s more than one way to enjoy a farm-based time management game like Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age outside of just simply playing through the game’s mechanics in one sweep.

We’ve mentioned replay value here. This means that, to fully enjoy the game, you must play it again and again. Take note that each level in the game may look and feel difficult the first time you play them. That’s because you haven’t played through those levels with the full potential that the game is offering you.

So, what makes playing through the levels one more time a little special than the first? For starters, going back through the levels (at least the earlier ones) is different because you’re armed with knowledge that you’ve gained from the previous time in which you’ve taken a shot at the level. You can be sure that you can get a better time trial result the second time around and that means more rewards!

More rewards only mean one thing - you can purchase the upgrades necessary to make the more advanced levels even easier to play. Thus, going back to earlier levels can be an investment in terms of time and effort for you, but the returns are totally worth it when you’ve accumulated enough upgrades to get a fighting chance at the higher and more difficult levels of the game.

Another way with which you can fully enjoy a farm-based management game is to see if there’s a Relaxed mode available. This mode retains all the mechanics of the normal modes, except for one thing - there is no time limit imposed on you. Thus, your goal here is not to attain an excellent time record but to finish each level at your own leisure.

This is highly recommended if you’re the sort who wants to get a feel for the game first before diving into the belly of the beast, figuratively speaking. You can play through to the finish and get a feel for each of the levels, as well as gaining knowledge of how to effectively play the game when you finally try to gun for time trials for the first time.

It can be considered as a means of cheating by some of the more experienced time management gamers, but what’s important here is your enjoyment, and not theirs.

So, if there’s a Relaxed mode available for you in the time management game, make sure to give that a try!
