The Farmer Was Replaced launches on Android after PC hit

You don’t plant seeds by hand here — you write short snippets of code, hit execute, and your little robot tills soil, plants, waters and harvests according to your instructions. The game introduces programming basics one at a time: loops, variables, functions, lists and so on, so challenges scale as your scripts get smarter. Gameplay isn’t level-based; instead you keep farming resources and unlocking tools while solving each new routing problem. Tasks range from collecting hay, wood and carrots to merging pumpkins into a giant pumpkin, sorting cacti, hunting for the best sunflowers, feeding a dinosaur and even hunting treasure inside a hedge maze.

The mobile release bundles some notable additions. It includes The Miner Was Replaced, the game’s first DLC, which moves automation underground and adds eight new resources — coal, quartz, mushrooms and dynamite among them — plus new objectives like excavating ancient ruins without damaging them, sorting mushrooms, growing rice on clay, and a Minesweeper-like challenge that can blow your drone up if you’re sloppy. A Megafarm feature lets you run several drones at once and there’s a simulation mode for faster, repeatable testing of routines.

Mobile convenience gets attention too: a custom code keyboard puts every symbol you need on one screen, autopaired brackets and quotes, and swipe-any-key cursor movement. Players can pick QWERTY, QWERTZ or AZERTY layouts, enable key clicks and vibration, and plug in Bluetooth keyboards and mice. The app supports both portrait and landscape orientations across phones and tablets, so you can script on a commute or stretch out on a tablet and watch your automated fields hum.
