Animal Crossing for the iPhone?

PocketGamer.co.uk has an exclusive article of new game for the iPhone that is a mix of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. Set in the 1950’s sci-fi world Astro Ranch brings touch gameplay with network heavy gameplay. The game looks to come to the App Store early next year and is also slated to be released on the N-Gage and DS. Here is a little more information on the title,

“You play Sindy Starlight, an intrepid space explorer who crash lands on an alien planet, and has to start her own ranch, while exploring the planet and making nice with its inhabitants.

It’ll be part strategy game, with you building up your ranch, and part action title, with sections where you pan for gold by shaking the iPhone, and also build fences and lasso runaway animals by tapping the screen.

The game will feature a user-controlled camera, and an original music score. But here’s another exciting element: connected features will let you trade items, and send presents and messages to friends who’re also playing the game.”



The game looks really cool and being a big fan of the Animal Crossing series I am excited to get my paws on this game. The developer also stated that he would like for this game to be compatible with online play with the other versions, sweet. You can bet that I will be purchasing this game when it is released next year.
