Grow crops till the drop!

The Scarecrows have come to life - putting the Old Forest Ranch under great threat!  

Defend against deadly Scarecrows with a selection of melee and ranged weapons whilst keeping the crops growing.

Sell your harvest for gold and let the good times roll!

What's New

Use your Torch to set Scarecrows on Fire

'Let there be light' - The Fire Torch acts like a melee weapon, dealing more damage when it's lit. You can ignite your Torch at the Fire.

Jimmy's Fruit and Veg Truck Orders

'Jimmy's Orders' - Jimmy's Fruit & Veg Truck now only accepts produce if they are apart of his Orders for the day. You can find Jimmy's orders by Interacting with the calendar in the house.

Refill your Water Bucket at the pond

'Water brings life' - Crops will now need watering after you plant them. You can refill your water bucket at the pond.

Access the Shop by speaking to the farmer on the porch

'Shop!' - Purchase Weapons, Ammo, Seeds and more, using your hard earned gold of course

Chop up logs using your Axe

'Chop-Chop' - You'll now find Wood Logs around the forest. These can be chopped up into firewood using your Axe!

Close the door before you go to sleep

'Sleep till Dawn' - Interacting with the bed at night time will now allow you to sleep till the next morning. Just remember to close your door... Upon waking up your game will be saved.


'Days Alive' - The Game keeps track of how many days you've been ali... been on the farm, of course.

Great concept, had fun with it. Is a bit on the easy side but see great potential here! Will be keeping an eyer on it for sure!!! Left a follow and your game is third in the video (may take up to an hour to finish uploading and sorry, did not figure out how to spend coins until the end haha my fault there xD)

Hiya! I really appreciate the play through - Seems like you got to play the version that is still a few updates behind. Since then there's been some more structural updates added to guide the player in the right direction right off the start. I hope to see you try out a future update! Thank you so much again for playing... The Crows have gotten smarter...

what happened to the channel?

If I replace the current version with the latest update, will it erase my save? / where's the save location?

Hi, with the current high pace of development on the game, there might be certain updates that requires a New Game in order to experience the full effects of the update. 

In general however, updating the game will not remove any saved game data. 

Does this game has hungry and thirsty status? Can save/load day/night cycle time? The map is large? Can you add more interesting features in this game? I'm waiting for your reply. :)

Hi, please note that this game is still in Preview status and actively being developed on. Some of the features you mentioned above are already present such as day/night cycles and persistence is available yes.

The map size is currently limited to allow for full exercise of gaming mechanics, in a small enough area, at a high pace.

Expect updates every other day with Weekly Dev Logs posted on YT. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the playthrough.

Hey man! Appreciate you trying out my game! 


I loved seeing you figure the game out without a tutorial - it helped me a lot to see how players first approach it. 

When you clicked that the produce gets sold to the truck driver I literally fist pumped the air! Once again cheers for the play through - Hope to see another one in the future when more features have been added. At the moment it's still very sandbox style. 

These builds still shipped with default Motion Blur enabled. This has since been adjusted. 

PS. Getting Wacked on the first night was hilarious!
