Top Crops

It's harvest time in Riff's farm! Her crops grow fast, but they wither fast too. You must plant, water, and harvest as many crops as possible, while making sure they don't wither and die.  But watch out, a zombie is coming for you! Running into it will lower your score, so be careful! Don't forget though: a clean farm is a happy farm! You also have to stay organized and put objects back on the table before switching to another one. Manage your resources and evade well to last all night and earn the high score!
