About This Game

SproutBound is a cozy, minimalist idle farming game by a solo developer that grows quietly in the background while you relax, work, or play something else.

SproutBound isn’t about constant action — it’s about peace. This is a slow, steady idle farming companion designed to run in the background while you do other things. Whether you’re watching a movie, working, or gaming, your little farm keeps growing with no pressure and no surprises.

🌱 What SproutBound is

  • A simple, relaxing background game.

  • Light automation and prestige for gradual, steady progress.

  • A companion you can leave running without worry.

  • Great if you enjoy Cookie Clicker, Adventure Capitalist, Rusty’s Retirement, or Stardew Valley idle mods.

🪴 What SproutBound isn’t

  • It’s not about complex mechanics or constantly changing systems.

  • Prestige boosts growth, but doesn’t unlock new content.

  • Don’t expect evolving layers — the loop is intentionally consistent and relaxing.

Why Play?

If you want a peaceful idle game to accompany your day, SproutBound may be just right. If you’re seeking a deep incremental game with synergies, evolving prestige systems, or surprises after hundreds of hours, SproutBound is probably not for you — and that’s by design.

Key Features

🌱 Simple idle farming loop: Plant → water → harvest → reinvest
🚜 Unlock basic automation: Tractor, Harvester, and Irrigation for hands-free play
💧 Light systems: Moisture & quality affect crop speed/value, but never add stress

⚙️ Lightweight: No microtransactions, no pressure, no fail states — just calm growth

SproutBound is a cozy background garden that grows with you. Nothing more, nothing less.
