JACKCROP

A Brazilian farm roguelike

Plant a strategy.
Harvest the impossible.

Luck scatters the crops. You prepare the ground. Combine crops, structures and Jackers to turn a little farm into an outrageous harvest.

Made in Brazil. Built for PC.

The game in 20 seconds

Luck decides where the crop lands. You decide what it finds there.

  1. 1

    Plan

    Play a structure card on the field. The Beehive attracts bees, the Windmill attracts corn, the Scarecrow scares off crows.

  2. 2

    Draw

    Your whole crop bag drops onto the field. Each card's tile is drawn, weighted by the pull of nearby structures.

  3. 3

    Harvest

    The cascade scores tile by tile. The right neighbours add and multiply; harvesting the whole delivery goal in a single turn is a JACKCROP!

  4. 4

    Deliver

    Hit every delivery goal, spend your coins at the Market and survive 3 years until the Festival.

The collection

96 Jackers to break the farm

Each Jacker is a fully illustrated pixel-art card with an effect that bends the rules: from the Tractor that adds mult to the Werewolf that multiplies by 6 on the last turn. Commons, uncommons, rares and the legends of Brazilian folklore.

    • Order mattersJackers fire left to right. The Handyman copies its neighbour; the Farm Echo repeats the last effect.
    • Add, mult and times multSome add (+4 mult), others multiply (×2 mult). Stacking both in the right order is the game.
    • Buy, sell, rearrangeThe Fair changes every delivery. Selling a Jacker at the right moment pays for the next one.

    Deck

    Structures in hand, crops in the bag

    Structure cards

    A 3-card hand plus the Scarecrow in its own slot. Every structure levels up to LV3, paid with your harvest, and pulls more crops at each level.

    Crop cards

    Every crop is a card with a number and a suit. The number is what it is worth when harvested; the suit decides who it combos with.

    • Fields

      Corn, Cassava and Sugarcane. They pay off in groups.

    • Fruits

      Coffee, Passion Fruit, Cashew and Açaí. Worth more, but they want company.

    • Critters

      Bee, Chicken and Cow. They bring MULT and react to what is around them.

    • Nature

      Sun, Rain and Earthworm. They don't score alone: they boost neighbouring plants.

    • +1 MULT3 or 4 touching cards of the same suit.
    • +2 MULT5 or more touching cards of the same suit.
    • +2 SUMPer card, when equal numbers touch.

    Editions that shine

    Any card can roll an edition, with a shader shine that reacts as the card tilts.

      Boss deliveries

      At the end of every year, a boss changes the rules

      A run is 3 years of 4 deliveries. The last delivery of each year brings a boss with a rule built to take your farm apart. Survived both? The Festival settles the score.

      Boss deliveryFestival

      • City Inspector

        Duplicate structures stop working: only the first of each type attracts and scores.

      • Termite Mound

        Two damaged structures lose a level. Only Insecticide fixes it.

      • Harsh Drought

        Plants are worth half, except those next to a Well.

      • The Middleman

        Jackers that multiply are switched off.

      • Rats in the Barn

        Every harvest, 3 random crops are worth zero.

      • Festival

        The 12th delivery draws a party that turns the game in your favour.

        Corn Party: Corn ×3Honey Party: Bees give doubleBig Sale: every crop +3

      You can prepare: the Tough Goat gives ×3 mult on boss deliveries and at the Festival, and the Letter to the Mayor swaps the year's boss.

      Pick your farmer

      Four ways to start the farm

      • Traditional Farm

        The classic start: corn, cassava and a Windmill to call the crop.

      • Beekeeper

        Starts with a Beehive in the centre and extra bees in the bag.

      • Rancher

        Starts with a Corral and Cows. Cows like their space.

      • Coffee Grower

        Coffee and sunshine. Starts with 8 coins in the pocket.

      And there's more

      Every run is a different harvest

      • Weather of the year

        El Niño, Late Frost, Blooming Spring, Year of Plague: every year changes the rules of the field.

      • Market and packs

        Spend your coins at the Market: sealed packs opened card by card, Jackers, prayers and charms.

      • Folklore legends

        Saci, Iara, Curupira, Boto and Werewolf are the five legendary Jackers, the rarest at the Fair.

      • Jack, the guide

        A bearded farmer who mumbles (no words) and explains the rules right when you need them.

      Replayability

      No two farms are alike

      Every run shuffles terrain, Fair, weather and bosses from a seed. What you build on top changes everything, and the score has no ceiling.

      • Combos with no ceiling

        SUM and MULT have no limit. Stack Jackers, recipes, editions and suits in the right order and the harvest gets out of hand. There are achievements for reaching MULT 100 in one turn and for closing a delivery at 10 times the goal.

      • A world grown from the seed

        The field starts at 4×4 and grows during the run, up to 10×10 in endless mode. The farm around it, the Fair and the bosses all come from the same seed: share the code and someone else plays exactly your run.

      • Daily Challenge and endless mode

        Every day, one seed for everyone, with a drawn level. Same starting point: who harvests more?

        • 8 levelsEach one adds a harsher rule.
        • Endless modeBeat the Festival? The farm goes on, with goals and bosses that keep getting worse.
      • 40 achievements

        From first steps to secrets. Some want a big number, others want discipline: win with at most 3 Jackers, without leaving the starting field, or with only Beehive, Greenhouse and Windmill.

        Mastery Seals

        Every Jacker, structure, farmer and recipe that carried a win earns a seal, according to the level beaten.
