Short description

Pocketvale is a cozy pixel farming game that lives in the corner of your Mac's screen. Plant crops, build a little town, explore an endless world and go fishing, a click at a time, while you work. Close the game and your vale keeps growing.

About the game

Pocketvale is made to be played on the side. Its small window sits in a corner of the screen, or on top of every other window, and every action is a single click. Villagers move in and take jobs, workshops turn the harvest into goods, and robot traders pin orders on the board. Past the clouds lies an endless world of meadows, deserts, snowy peaks and swamps, with rarer lands, ancient monuments and caves the further you go. There is fishing from common to legendary, music discs to collect and play, and a friend on the same Wi-Fi can visit and farm alongside you.

When the game is closed, the vale keeps going for up to a week and shows a short summary on your return. There are no ads, no accounts and no in-app purchases, and the game collects no data.
