Your garden keeps growing while you're away. Pixel Patch is a cozy pixel-art farming game with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collection. Pay once, play at your own pace. GROW A REAL FARM GIANT CROPS - Plant the same crop in a square and it can grow into one Big, Huge or Gigantic crop, up to four tiles across - Giants are rare and worth far more than the plants they grew from - Photo mode hides the buttons so you can screenshot your farm VILLAGE FAIR - Your best harvest of the week enters the Village Fair automatically - Three rival farmers compete against you, with judging every Sunday at 8 pm - Win ribbons and coins, and unlock decorations for your farm - 22 crops across 7 rarity tiers, from everyday vegetables to legendary finds - Crops keep growing while you're away, so your farm never stands still - Water your plants to speed up their growth, or place sprinklers to boost the crops around them CHASE THE RARE STUFF - Every harvest has a chance to mutate into something special: Golden, Rainbow, Diamond, Ancient, or the vanishingly rare Celestial - Track every discovery in the Collection Book MEET THE VILLAGE - Three shopkeepers, each with their own personality, dialogue, and friendship level - Take on NPC requests, daily quests, a weekly challenge, and full story questlines for each character ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO - Customize your farmer's overalls, shirt, and hat colors - 89 achievements to unlock - Daily login rewards and Mystery Crates - Treasure digging with hidden relics and curiosities - Seasonal events throughout the year: Halloween, Christmas, Cherry Blossoms, and the Lantern Festival MADE ENTIRELY BY HAND Every sprite is hand-drawn pixel art. Every sound is synthesized in code. There are no stock assets anywhere in this game, just one person's farm, built one feature at a time. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO DATA COLLECTION. Pixel Patch is a one-time purchase. That's the whole business model. No ads interrupting your farm, no pressure to spend more, and nothing about you is ever sent to us or to any third party. Your save can optionally back up to your own iCloud account so you never lose progress, but it's yours alone, we can't see it.
