‘Blocky Farm’ Expanding Its Soft Launch to New Zealand and Australia, Wants More Beta Testers

TouchArcade Rating:

Blocky Farm is a very promising farmer simulator that’s been in soft launch and beta for quite a bit now, and it’s going to expand its soft launch to Australia and New Zealand tomorrow, which means more of you can check out this really cute game. Blocky Farm has you managing your farm—including driving the tractor—and taking care of your very cute pets and farm animals. There’s a ton of things you can do in your farm that go beyond just driving the tractor around and getting into trouble. You can also use all kinds of cool animal gadgets, complete hundreds of quests in and around your farm, get collectible cards that allow you to upgrade your buildings or discover new gadgets, and a ton of other things.

The game stands out for its charming voxel-style visuals and character design, which includes chickens with top hats and glasses. The game started out relatively simple but has grown over the years into something really fun and deep. If you want to check out the game, head over to our (long) forum thread, and if you want to test the game but don’t have access to the soft-launch areas, message the developers to join the beta; they are looking for more testers.

      Well put, and fully agree here. Hah, I can't believe no one else till now mentioned that little clothes change animation, it is absolutely hilarious and unexpected. The game just has nothing really left to desire, full of personality and humor...but not overly silly either, just perfect core game play and getting used to controlling everything barely takes over 3 missions and even while just learning the basics you're having a blast...is that a run on sentence?...go play this..

      Turned out not to be a fun as I was expecting from the hype. Oh well, it was only $5.

        I've gotta say, after having put in some time, it is indeed not as great as the hype. It was really fun in the beginning, but come mission 7, and it goes fucking hard and it becomes clear you have to grind for upgrades and hero levels by playing the older missions over and over.

        Maybe my strategy is not the best for it, but my hero is fate, and I'm lvl 5 with her. Haven't grinded at all, and the mission is just seemingly impossible.

        Really not too fun. Oh well, only 5 dollars as you mentioned.

          You just have to wait for the green bar to fill up a few times so you can upgrade more stuff. Make sure you have maximum shields for your towers. There's even a power-up that extends gem capacity. Also while dealing with the boss in mission 7, lure him with your hero and keep moving while your soldiers keep shooting.

          1. Jinxtah

            Can't find that power-up. I've just rechecked even. As for waiting, well there's a timer on the mission, and with around 7 mins left I was overrun. Unable to break through the base up north even. I was stuck with 50 max gems, so I couldn't get the better units.

              It's called Accumulator and costs 150.

              1. Jinxtah

                It isn't there. Maybe the upgrades change names as you pump points into them?

                Is it in the first or second half, and upper or lower (with a further specification of upper or lower again)

      Indeed, the Iron Marines game is great for beginners.

        Is there a toucharcade ban for Through The Ages?
        I'm very surprised. Not even a word zbout the release.
        Hmmm.

          Literally two stories down from this is a post about Through the Ages being out.
