Harvest Hustle

Drive around the farm picking crops, sell them at the barn, scoop up the cash and spend it on bigger farm gear. A bouncing yellow arrow always points to what to do next, so kids who can't read yet can still play.

  • Real crops

    Wheat, corn, pumpkins and soybeans that grow back in seconds.

  • Upgrade as you go

    Start on foot, then buy faster boots, a tractor and a combine. Every machine goes blue, green, yellow, red, then black.

  • Buy more farms

    The farm next door is four times bigger. The farm up north has a beef feedlot and two giant fields.

  • Grain cart and trucks

    The cart rides alongside the combine, and green and white grain trucks haul to the elevator.

  • Barnyard animals

    Cows, chickens, sheep, pigs and feedlot cattle fill their stands with milk, eggs, wool, bacon and steaks.

  • Hire farm hands

    Helpers pick pumpkins and gather from the animals while you drive.

  • Apple orchard

    Red, yellow and green apple trees grow south of the farm. Pick them yourself, or hire pickers.

  • Farm market

    An apple cart grows into a grocery store with a bakery. Families drive in to shop and pick their own apples.

Hold the Hill

Raiders are coming up the sea road. Lead your squad out to knock them down, scoop up the coins they drop, then stop on a pad to build. A yellow arrow always points to what to do next.

  • Lookout to giant castle

    Start with a run-down lookout and a wooden fence. Build up to stone walls, a moat and a giant castle.

  • Lead the way

    Your hero starts as a peasant and works up to slinger, bowman, knight and lord, then the Black King.

  • Raise an army

    Recruit soldiers to follow you and guard the walls. Later the twelve knights of the Round Table join you one at a time.

  • Ballistas on the walls

    Upgrade them to heavy bolts, triple ballistas, big ballistas and fire bolts.

  • The Nine Knights

    Nine knights ride in one at a time, each with his own trick. Arrows bounce off the Tide Knight's shield.

  • The red dragon

    Healers go from herbs and potions to a battle wizard. Build all the way up and the red dragon wakes to fight for your castle.

Raiders in horned helmets break through a wooden fence into an early fort with a timber watchtower, coins on the ground and price pads for upgrades

About us

Cow Pie Games LLC is a small family game company in Indiana. Our boys loved the farm games they saw in ads, but the real games were full of ads, timers and things to buy.

So we made the farm game they actually wanted. It was play-tested by two farm kids. Hold the Hill, our castle game, came next.
