Rustic Ranch (working title), scheduled for launch in the summer, is a combination of match-3, time management and sim. In Rustic Ranch players are to help a charismatic character named Joe restore his ranch. To make this happen players sell food from his farm to the townspeople by completing match-3 levels.
