Sunflower Land is a Polygon (Matic) network based farming game. Players earn $SFL tokens by farming and can withdraw them to the Polygon network. As of March 24, $SFL withdrawals and deposits have been closed, and as of April 1, the game's new token, $FLOWER, will be integrated.
How to play Sunflower Land?
You create an account and farm by developing the island and avatar the game gives you. You buy seeds, plant, harvest, cook, chop wood, mine stone, fish, raise various animals. The game has a history of 2-3 years, but since there have been many changes during this period, old videos are not enough to describe the game as it is now. For example, in the past it cost 1 Matic to start the game, but now it is free to start and play.
I can say that the game is fully play-to-earn. From the moment you start the game, you can buy seeds that are defined daily (according to your level status) and plant them on your island. The duration of these seeds is 1 minute - 9 minutes - 1 hour - 2 hours - 3 hours - 3 hours - 1 day, etc. Since it goes like this, those who have plenty of time and those who do not have too much time can play the game. You can decide which product you will plant according to your entry status into the game.
In order to level up in the game, you need to cook food from the products you plant and feed it to your avatar. Each meal is leveled with the XP it gives. Let's start the game, it's been about 1 week and I was level 5 the day I started. I'm now at level 15.
In the game, we do things like buying seeds with in-game coins. After harvesting, we can earn coins by selling them from the sell section. We can also earn coins and game tokens by doing “delivery tasks”. We can cut wood by producing an axe, and we can mine stone by producing a pickaxe.
We can only use plantations, trees and stones on our own island. No going to other players' islands, no searching for items elsewhere. This not only makes the game less boring but also eliminates the time-consuming aspect of similar games.
For now, you need to be level 10 to earn $SFL and $FLOWER starting April 1st. After level 10, a “delivery mission” opens where you can earn tokens. Before that, you earn coins for all delivery missions.
There are reputation points and skrill methods in the game. Reputation points contribute to your earning status and some features in the game, while skrill contributes to the items you produce.
The game refreshes every night at 03.00 and new delivery missions are unlocked. When your seed usage limit runs out, you can get free daily shipments. For those who play the game for a long time, they need to spend diamonds if they want to buy additional seeds.
There is VIP purchasing in the game. I took advantage of the first day and bought a 3-month VIP. I can't say that it contributed much at the beginning of the game, but it seems advantageous for an advanced account.
With the items you will place in your island by crafting, the growing time of the seeds is shortened and their value increases. VIP purchase prices are like this for now;
Those who want to get VIP are provided with good advantages for the first 24 hours. You can buy GEMS in the game and start the VIP later in the game. This is completely optional, I started with a total investment of $15. I think $10 was for VIP, the rest I keep as GEMS to use in-game.
Things to do at the beginning
Everyone can create their own strategy in the game. My advice is not to sell as much of what you grow as possible, but to use it for delivery missions. Plant the seeds that are suitable for your time and after they have developed a little bit, produce axes and pickaxes and cut trees and collect stones as much as possible.
There are monthly airdrops for VIP users. They give you NFTs that you can put on your island or sell.
For all users, there is a task to open the chest on your island once a day. If you want to open it, you need to connect the wallet and pay a matic fee of 0.01 dollars. This is completely optional, I open it every day.
For delivery missions, you need to go to the Palaza from the bottom left map and find the avatar to make the delivery and talk to him.
The market, which all players except the island participate in, will be activated after level 7. If your reputation points are below 600, you will be able to buy and sell 2 times a day. Above 600 is unlimited. In the market section where all players are present, buying and selling transactions are made with the game's token. You can continue the game even if you only sell what you collect daily, but the advanced account has more advantages.
Advantages and disadvantages of the game compared to its counterparts
You don't drag the avatar around. You don't spend minutes traveling around the island looking for resources. Everything is done on your own island and your avatar is waiting on the sidelines while you do it. You only walk your avatar when you go for delivery missions.
After you level up a little bit, you can take action by looking at the seed times according to how much time you can spare for the game since the seed variety is quite abundant. Similar games do not offer this opportunity.
The only downside I can see so far is the 25% deduction on withdrawals.
