8-Bit Farm

8-Bit Farm is an uncomplicated economic strategy developed by Kairosoft. The studio specializes in developing games for mobile devices, and its portfolio includes such titles as Fish Pond Park and the warmly received Game Dev Story.

Mechanics

As the title suggests, in 8-Bit Farm we play the role of a farm manager. The game starts with planting basic plant species, harvesting flowers, fruits and vegetables, and breeding animals. As the farm develops, it begins to expand, enabling more and more workers to be recruited and, as a result, to be open to agritourism. The key to success is the constant increase of crop, the expansion of the farm and achiving the highest possible level of visitor satisfaction.

Tourists who decide to see our farmer's achievements with their own eyes, leave souvenirs in the form of photos, which can be exchanged for other attractions, as well as for various gadgets like objects enabling us to manipulate the weather. The whole thing is complemented by special festivals, where we can engage in arcade and logic mini-games, thus obtaining the funds necessary for further expansion. It is worth mentioning that the game is divided into seasons, and our actions are rated by a ranking system, which, at the end of each season, selects the winners in particular categories (product sales, number of visitors and their satisfaction, number of employees, etc.).
