About Desktop Idler Game 1: Farming

Desktop Idler Game 1: Farming is an idle farming game that sits at the bottom of your screen

while you do other things. Plant seeds and a little robot takes care of your tiny farm.

Grow crops: Click a plot, pick an action, and the robot walks over to do it. Plant seeds,

water dry soil, harvest ripe crops. Whatever the bot harvests, it replants on its own.

Discover new crops: You start with carrots. Reach the harvest milestones to unlock chili, corn,

onion, tomato, and garlic. Each crop grows at its own pace and sells for a different price.

Level up: Every harvest earns experience. Leveling expands your field from 10 plots up to 20, and

tiny helper bots join the crew at higher levels to share the work.

Built for multitasking: A thin strip you can slide anywhere between the top and

bottom of your screen, on whichever monitor you like. Always-on-top toggle, a compact

tiny-window mode, and zoom when you want it MORE or less distracting.

Your crops keep growing while the game is closed, and everything saves on its own.

Features:

  • 6 crops to discover and grow
  • 1 farming robot that does the work, plus++ unlockable helper bots
  • 10 plots at level 1, expanding up to 20
  • Offline progress and auto-save
  • Position on any monitor, always-on-top toggle, tiny-window mode, zoom

The game is still in development, so the name, assets, and even the whole gameplay may or may not change before release.
