Slide Inc.’s SuperPoke Facebook wallspam app has matured into a game with two new titles: SuperPoke Pets! and SSP Ranch! Of the two, SSP Ranch! is the one that offers a full Flash environment, where you can decorate on an isometric field, and your animals actually have room to roam and grow. (While roaming tends to be annoying in a title like FarmVille , feeding the animals on your ranch is easy and fun, cause they’ll automatically rush towards the food you’ve dropped for them.)

With cute graphics, solid gameplay, and a long pedigree, SSP Ranch! is shaping up to be the most adorable virtual ranch experience by far.

Part of the reason is probably because the game is still somewhat glitchy. Just the other day, I noticed my pets running into the wall of the first room, even though there was nothing keeping them there
