Harvest World: Idle Farm

Citrus Hill is now open — lemons, limes and yuzu, pressed into lemonade and tea. Walk your fields and the harvest takes care of itself. Now playable in English.

Walk through your fields, and the harvest takes care of itself.

Harvest World is a laid-back farming game where you simply steer your farmer across the field. Walk past a crop and it falls into your basket — no tapping, no tile-by-tile busywork. A step-by-step guide walks first-timers through the whole loop of harvest, craft and sell.

■ How it plays Walk the field to gather crops. Carry them to a workshop and refine them in two stages (wheat into flour into bread, carrots into slices into juice). Sell the goods at a market for coins. Spend those coins on movement, crafting speed, basket size and more.

■ Automate it Hire farmhands and they keep harvesting while you are away. Link workshops with conveyors so goods flow from one to the next. Add auto-selling to the market and coins come in even when your hands are full. The further you upgrade, the more the whole farm moves on its own.

■ Land that keeps opening up Master your first crop and new fields unlock, each with its own workshops and its own goods. Every tier you clear moves your income up a whole order of magnitude.

■ Finish a farm, move to the next world Max out every field and a graduation gate appears in the middle of town. Step through it and a brand-new hand-drawn world is waiting — an orchard, a desert oasis, a snowfield, a mushroom farm and many more. A transporter in town takes you back to any farm you have finished, whenever you feel like a stroll. Star Seeds you earn along the way buy permanent upgrades and starting bonuses that carry across every run.

■ Make the farm yours Decorate open ground with fences, flower beds, lanterns, benches and more. Dress your farmer in hats, coats and small props — face, shoulder, waist — and wear as many as you like at once. Buy them at the markets or the Star Seed Store, and take your favourites with you into the next world.

■ It grows while you are gone Your farmhands and workshops keep working for a while after you close the app. Come back later and the barn is full.

■ At your own pace Zoom with a button or a pinch to take in the whole farm, with haptic feedback on the satisfying moments.
