What are the boxes in the south east corner of the town? I thought they might be supplies for when you are starting the game, but I can't do anything with them. My mayor doesnt interact with them at all.

Are there any other ways to make money besides the daily task?

Catch bugs then sell them at general store

Chisa, here are some general hints for the game, some of which may be appropriate for your question. The boxes are part of a puzzle.

1) Read every pop up screen and consider taking a screen shot of it for future reference. I would say about half the questions I see are from people who missed what a pop up said. (Your question does not fall into this category!) As you deal with the three boxes, a thirst for knowledge from pop up screens will come in very handy.

2) At first, be conservative with coins unless you can buy some with an in-app purchase. Consider deferring home improvements for a few days. Catch and sell bugs as akard said. Spend your time exploring all the options in the town businesses, but don't necessarily jump right in buying everything.

3) If you run into something you don't understand, try picking it up. If you can't pick it up, use a tool on it. You only have 5 or 6 tools, so just use them each in turn until you find one that works. If you can't pick it up and you can't use a tool on it, consider that it may be a permanent part of the game environment.

Everyone seems to want to break open that big rock on the eastern edge of the town area, just north of the southeast forest. It's part of the scenery. Don't waste your time.

4) If you have something in your inventory or storage that doesn't fall into any of the major categories (seed, mineral, bug, clothing, fruits/veggies) or you have something that's just unusual, take it to the store proprietors. One of them may want that item. Try everyone until you find someone that's interested.

Hope this helps!

Maybe its my phone, its older and the screen is not as large as many models, but I have a very hard time controlling the tools. It takes a lot of frantic tapping. Bug catching is by far the hardest since Ms. Mayor likes to swing the net in the wrong direction...

Its a bit of a shame that making a profit is so dependent on bug-catching.

So boxes will make sense eventually, gotcha.

I am not sure it is your phone, I have an iPad and my mayor sometimes goes in the opposite direction of where I actually tapped. Maybe it is the angle I am viewing when bug catching.

Those were really good tips Aviatrix! I wish I had screenshots of everything when I started a month ago but I have learned since then. smile

Forgot to add a tip about tools. This is my opinion, but after doing it both ways it seemed to be better this way.

If you have to make a choice between silver and brass shovels, pick axes, or machetes, get silver. They last longer and give you more for your money at the beginning of the game.

And a tip that follows from you tip about tools and my second tip:

Early in the game, make do with a brass bug net and a brass watering can. The former will improve your bug catching skill because the net won't be helping much, and the latter will do everything the silver can will do, it will just take longer. This will save you 500-600 coins that you would have spent on silver tools.
