Your animals will eat them straight away, and some of the side effects are detrimental to your creature’s health. Now and then a coloured mushroom will pop up, and its best to identify them quickly so you can pluck out the bad ones. You can interact with each one to see what they need, and it’s worth doing if you want to succeed. Keeping them happy depends on the individual creature some want to be stroked, some want more trees and greenery in their enclosure, some want more space or companionship. Fail to keep your troughs filled with food and water or your animals happy and they’ll die fairly quickly. Alternatively, you can also lose animals through the age-old mediums of neglect and slovenliness. Tornadoes are a real pain, as are foxes that sneak in during the night and devour your chickens. To mix things up, natural disasters will occasionally strike, becoming more frequent as the game progresses. You can also build fences to keep your beasts segregated, roads for your machinery to travel, and drop natty farm decorations like wagon wheels around the place. There are 8 animal types to farm, including chickens, sheep, cows and pigs, and loads of different gizmos to make your life easier. Things do get trickier, mind, as more and more animals become available for delivery by cliché (sorry, stalk), but the central conceit never changes. This is the premise of Funky Barn, and one that remains largely unblemished throughout. Anyway, the chicken will produce eggs, providing she is kept happy and not dead, and those eggs can be chucked in the produce cannon thingamajig and sold. Certainly a better name for a chicken than, say, Drumstick. You can name her, too, and mine was called Clint. It makes little sense, but is undoubtedly funky. You’ll also have a device that launches produce you put into it out of a cannon, in exchange for money. So, you begin with empty land which you can name – I called mine Lillyhole, but I don’t know why – consisting of grass, mud and a handful of watering holes. Your goal is to raise animals, sell produce, reach the maximum farm level, and (presumably) retire happily. The story behind Funky Barn, in so far as there is one, is that you have inherited a ton of farmland from your eccentric uncle, along with blueprints for a bunch of crazy inventions like a robotic egg collector, automated sheep-sheerer and tornado-predictor.
But then, this is a Nintendo game and, as such, will appeal to a fairly decent percentage of their target audience. It’s simply a very casual game, and not the kind of title that the average Call of Duty or Uncharted fan is going to look at. It’s not unfair to say that Funky Barn is one of the closest things to “shovel-ware” in the Wii U’s launch line-up, but that isn’t to say it is shovel-ware.

An update of the 3DS game of the same name (ok, minus “3D”), it’s squarely aimed at the casual crowd. While Funky Barn does little to even attempt to lift that stigma, it does manage to be mostly inoffensive at the same time. The term “farming simulator” is usually enough to make most dedicated gamers cringe, and in some cases, it’ll provoke an outright slap to your face.
