Pocket Land is a free-to-play casual mobile farming adventure game built around a simple, satisfying loop: harvest fruits and vegetables, fulfil orders, earn gold, upgrade your crops, and discover new ways to progress. GROW & HARVEST Move around your island and collect fruits and vegetables as they appear. Crops are gathered as you move through them, making the farming loop quick, simple, and satisfying. FULFIL ORDERS & EARN GOLD Each order asks for specific produce. Gather enough to complete it and earn gold, then put those rewards back into your progression. UPGRADE EVERY HARVEST Spend gold to increase how much produce you collect from each crop. As your Per Harvest upgrades improve, a single crop can give you several fruits or vegetables at once. UPGRADE YOUR CHARACTER & WORKERS Improve core character stats such as Movement Speed, Collect Range, and Harvest Range. You can also unlock and upgrade workers that help keep crops growing, with worker stats such as planting time and the number of bushes they manage improving as you progress. COLLECT PETS, MOUNTS & GEAR Find pets and mounts that grant useful bonuses as you play. Equip different pieces of gear for bonuses such as greater gathering range or faster movement, then upgrade your equipment to make those bonuses stronger. Gear also has its own collection loop: merge duplicate pieces, improve equipment over time, and chase higher-rarity items with stronger effects. Pets can also be merged as your collection grows. EXPLORE DUNGEONS & CHALLENGES Dungeons give you different ways to play beyond farming. Some runs focus on wave combat, where you choose temporary attacks, healing, damage boosts, and other upgrades as you progress. Other challenges change the objective completely, such as timed collection runs like Diamond Dungeon. Complete them to earn rewards and return to your wider Pocket Land progression. PLAY LIMITED-TIME EVENTS Take part in rotating events with different objectives, themed areas, mini-games, harvest challenges, and special rewards. Event content changes over time, giving you new reasons to return without changing the core farming loop. DISCOVER MORE Mine for treasure, unlock new skins, complete quests and challenges, and keep finding new things to collect and improve as Pocket Land opens up. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Jump in for a quick harvest, work through a few orders, improve your gear, collect pets and mounts, or take on a dungeon run when you want something more active. Pocket Land keeps the core loop easy to understand while giving you more to discover over time. You can also drop into limited-time events when you want a different objective or reward track. Grow crops. Fulfil orders. Upgrade your harvest. Collect pets, mounts, and gear. Take on dungeons. Discover what comes next in Pocket Land. Upgrade workers, play events, and explore new challenges along the way.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pocket Land! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Land! has 4.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Idle Ghost's written reviews are positive against 38% of Pocket Land!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Idle Ghost ships an update every 2 days, Pocket Land! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
