The next Harvest Moon game making its way to Switch is Harvest Moon: Mad Dash, and it's taking things in a bit of a different direction. Check out a full rundown of gameplay details below.

- color-matching puzzle game
- when you start a level, the puzzle field will be littered with two or more different types of crops
- crops will either be by themselves or linked with one or more crops
- combine these crops into squares, at which point they blossom and become bigger crops
- combine those crops to make even bigger squares and you'll end up with fully ripened crops ready to be harvested
- divided up into stages where the goal is to get a high enough score to collect three stars
- each stage is located on an overworld map
- settings stretch from the farm and town all the way down to the underworld and up high into the sky
- there is a story, which starts off with a lighthouse needing to be repaired
- includes multiplayer gameplay
- one stage has you handling fish and hay while feeding cows and avoiding falling coconuts
- as hay piles up into larger and larger bales, the cows come to eat it
