Our first game

Farmers Market Story

  • In development
  • Planned for iOS & Android
  • Cozy merge game

Farmers Market Story is a cozy merge game about growing a humble roadside produce stand into the heart of a bustling Main Street farmers market.

  • Merge fresh goods. Combine produce, baked goods, flowers, honey and more into better items, then serve the customers waiting at your stall.
  • Grow your stalls. Upgrade market stalls for more storage and handy new tools as your business grows.
  • Revive Main Street. Reopen the old storefronts and fill the street with new vendors, one step at a time.
  • A story that grows. Meet Dottie and the people of the town on the way from roadside stand to the center of the community.
