Sokoban goes rural

Alawar | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dale City, Va. - Jan. 18, 2004 - Slip on your overalls and get ready to sling hay! Alawar Entertainment (www.alawar.com), a leading publisher of casual games, has released Joe's Farm, a 3D puzzle game in which you help a farmer complete his chores before time runs out. In Joe's Farm, you control a pig who must push barrels of water, bails of hay and crates to their destinations using the fewest number of moves.

Your brain will get a workout as you think about how to complete each of the game's 100 levels. Fortunately, moving the farmer is as simple as clicking where you want him to go. Once he's there, clicking on an object prompts him to move it in the direction he's facing. After you've pushed all of the items in a level onto an X, the computer calculates your score based on how quickly you finished the level and the number of steps Joe took.

Joe's Farm features various animated settings, a high score table and a simple profile system that allows multiple players to store their progress. As with many Alawar games, Joe's Farm also allows you to easily download and play new expansion packs.
