Glitch - Walk on crops, rocks, and wood

This glitch allows you to walk on top of crops, rocks, and wood, and you normally can not. To do this, you need to have your grown horse and either a sheep or a cow.

Place your cow or sheep next to a crop, small rock, or piece of wood. The object has to be positioned in such a way that you can normally jump over it by running.

Next, get on your horse, and go to the side of the crop/rock/wood that is opposite of the sheep or cow.

Lastly, run towards the cow or sheep, and your horse will attempt to jump over the object. But, the horse will stop, and stay on top of the object. You can now walk on top of any crops, rocks, or wood that are next to that piece.

When you get off of your horse while on top of an object, you will 'slide' in the opposite direction you were facing until you are in an area normally accessable. If you want to walk on top of the objects again, you have to start over.
 

 

Glitch - You bought Chicken Feed! Not Animal Fodder.

If you go and buy animal fodder, the man will say "I'll put this here chicken feed in the barn" When in fact you are buying animal fodder.
 

 

Glitch - 50G Curry Powder

When you're going to buy a Curry Powder in the store, it says it's 100G, but it's actually 50G only!
 

 

Easter Egg - Meet Kappa

Make sure you have at least 10 cucumbers in your fridge or somewhere you can keep them. Each day for ten days, throw one cucumber in the lake near the mountain. Once you have done that for ten days, he gives you a special Blue Berry.
 

 

Easter Egg - Everyone calls you Moneybags

When you obtained a Golden Lumber, put it outside your farm and go to sleep. When you wake up the next day, go outside your farm and most of the townsfolks will yell at you. Talk to people who includes your name in their dialogue such as Elli, Mayor Thomas, Harris etc and they will call you "Moneybags" instead of your character name!
