FarmVille: Harvest Swap Cheats: Tips, Tricks & Strategy Guide

The hit game that started on Facebook is back with an all-new match-3 puzzler! FarmVille: Harvest Swap takes the same animals and farming action you love and crams it into a puzzle game package. We’re here to help you beat those levels with our FarmVille: Harvest Swap cheats, tips and tricks strategy guide!

1. Make sunbeams!

Matching four or more crops together will result in a sunbeam crop. Depending on the direction you matched the crops, the sunbeam will either be pointing vertically or horizontally. When these sunbeam crops are matched, they will shoot out beams of light that instantly match all the crops in that column or row. They’re very useful, and four crop matches are fairly easy to do, so be on the look out!

2. Make crates!

Crates are created when you match crops in a 2×2 square. This is leave behind a crate which can match a multi-directional line of the same crop, which is useful for cutting a nice line through the board.

3. Make prized crops!

Matching crops in a “L” or “T” fashion will result in a prized crop. These crops, when matched, will stay behind for one more action. Immediately after they will detonate, matching all the crops surrounding the prized crop.

4. Make the barrel!

Matching five crops will create the almighty… barrel! The barrel, when swapped with another crop, will immediately match every single one of that crop across the entire board. These don’t come often, but when they do, they can change the tide of a level. Try to shift crops around so that they fall into place in such a way that sets up these special crops!

5. Take your time, plan out your moves!

As with other match-3 puzzle games, your success depends heavily upon your ability to plan ahead. Don’t just look for immediate three matches; try planning ahead to take advantage of the special crops. Most importantly though, take your time! There is no time limit, only a turn limit. Most of the time you have a limited amount of moves, so plan wisely!
