As the result of a partnership between game developers Noodlecake and Sleeping Giant, Farm Punks could be described as a farming simulator crossed with third-person ball-roller. As bizarre as that might sound, the combination actually works incredibly well. You’ll fire various fruits (among other things) from a cannon located at the top of a hill and then process to control it to avoid various obstacles as it stumbles down the slopes.

The thing is, the fruits are very fragile, so rolling on the ground will damage your health. To combat that, you can either collect healing items on the way, or jump into some kind of vehicles such as cars or helicopters.
Every now and then you’ll come across a food stand, and if you manage to get your fruit into it, you can finish the run and trade the fruit for some nice cash. However, you can earn more cash if you manage to roll your fruit further. This mechanic motivates you to try your best to go as far as you can, but of course, that also means you risk dying along the way and lose all of your progress.
All that result in an experience full of tense moments, but Farm Punks has even more than that to offer. With the money you get from your runs, you can develop your orchard to unlock and upgrade the fruits. In this aspect, the game is pretty similar to an idle title, albeit you now have a super entertaining fruit-rolling gameplay to push yourself forward. Alternatively, you can use the money to get more vehicles, upgrade your cannon, and more. This is definitely one of the more unique games we’ve had on mobile in recent times.
Farm Punks is currently available for pre-registration on both Google Play and the App Store and is expected to officially launch later this month on the 30th. If you are interested, keep an eye out for more information.
