Princess Farmer is a match3 puzzle and visual novel game with easy to learn action mechanics and different playstyles that let you breeze through the game or challenge you. All three of the playstyles earn you rewards! The story is played in episodes, much like magical-girl anime, with each lasting between 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your chosen playstyle, your skills, and whether you decide to skip dialogue interactions. Different level goals keep you on your toes and bring a fresh approach to the match3 genre. Dialogue options let you choose how Princess Farmer interacts with her friends, affecting your relationships with them. Make them your BFF and they may reward you with gifts! Story Princess Farmer was just an ordinary farmer when one day she woke up under the Gaia Tree. Now through the magic of Mother Gaia, she can hoist up whole rows of veggies with ease to make matches and smash obstacles by herself, in co-op, or even with an AI companion! Something mysterious is happening in the woods and it's your job to puzzle your way to uncover it! You'll learn about the world around you as you talk and build relationships with the loveable characters including: Mother Gaia, Garlic, Shoppe Keeper Rowan, and even Bot Bunny! Gameplay It may look like Princess Farmer plays like modern match-3 games but it’s much more strategic and reaction-based, tasking you with character movement and stack management. You can choose to adjust how you approach your strategy to maximize matches, combos, and smashes. Personalize your playstyle: are you an Action Bunny, a Puzzle Bunny, or a Balance between the two? Level goals range from simple (like score, timed, harvest a certain veggie) to challenging (like fulfilling requests, avoiding matching certain veggies, danger areas). Some levels will pit you up against a (pretty adorable) opponent. But watch out for storms! That's when Grumpy Block shows up to spoil all your harvesting fun! Collect Unlockables As you play, you'll earn Heart Coins which you can give to Ro at the Shoppe to collect different Hare Dyes. Charm the characters with dialogue options to unlock new outfits so you can harvest in style! About Samobee Games We’re a wife/wife team building games in the mountains of British Columbia in Canada.

Wish you could set the view to zoom in more on the boards when playing the matching parts. Couple of dialogue choices always crash it, but luckily it's good at saving as you go so you don't lose progress you just have to do the dialogues over. You might not get all the possible currency in the nightly mail rewards, also. In all pretty fun, love the little characters and kinda wish there was a non-match3 rpg version in this style! ### 2/5 — Pas intuitif *2026-07-10* Aucune explication et commandes peu réactives. Étrange pour un jeu dit inclusif. Encore plus pour un match-3. Et la zone de jeu est trop petite. Ce jeu me laisse perplexe ### 1/5 — I’m sure it’s a great game, but… *2026-06-29* Every time I try to open it, it crashes. Literally won’t even let me start the game. So I have no idea what will happen in there. So, until I can figure out how to make it work, the 1 star review stays. Sorry. ### 2/5 — So dull. *2026-02-23, version 1.1.9* Not much to it. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-12, version 1.1.9* I like it ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-03-31, version 1.1.9* Slay queen!Its so nice and love the graphics, ### 5/5 — аоао *2024-07-18* невероятная милая игра с забавными диалогами, одобряю ### 1/5 — It won’t stop crashing! *2024-06-02, version 1.1.9* As soon as I open the gameA crash happens and I can’t get to stop look this is coming from a 10 year old. all I wanna do is play the gameI don’t even get a taste of it before it stops working and nothing happens and sent back to my home screen so if you can fix this do it! ### 5/5 — Genuinely a great, cute game *2024-03-11, version 1.1.9* I love the lgbtqia+ representation here, as well as the concept and how it’s built, controls are not bad as people make it to be, I think they are great and solid. The game is fairly short but perfectly long enough to be enjoyable, the story is fantastic, as well as the characters. Everything about this game was magnificent to me. And honestly, I hope we get more Princess Farmer someday in the future. ### 1/5 — What on earth are these controls? *2024-03-06* I could see it being a controller based game maybe if I could play it. But just trying to navigate the first screen to get the game to begin was excruciating… it looks like you should be able to tap where you want to move but you can’t and there’s no text to explain. Then you get to the vegetables and… again, you’re missing crucial tutorial text or some basic run down of the controls. Something. It’s not intuitive enough for me to figure out how the game wants me to move and it won’t tell me. Please consider actually making a tutorial that is more cut and dry. Literally I managed to get to the first scene, put a carrot down, and couldn’t figure out how to get back to the garden. It’s frustrating, which is the opposite of what I want in a game. It looks super cute but this format is too unfriendly. ## Frequently asked questions about Princess Farmer ### What kind of game is Princess Farmer?
