Welcome to Papercat Farms!
Papercat Farms is a pawsitively delightful farming game where you play as Leo, a cat who’s traded his claws for crops! Instead of chasing the local mice around, Leo’s decided to turnip a new leaf and partner with them to create the best farm in town—purrfect for both cats and mice alike.
In this tail of unlikely friendship, Leo and his tiny companions have struck a mice deal: he grows tasty veggies, and they bring him top-quality seeds and lend a paw in expanding his barn. No need to worry about any cat-astrophic chases! With the mouse workforce on your side, you’ll be able to squeak out more space for all your bumper crops in no time.
From planting your first seed to harvesting a bountiful farm, Papercat Farms is all about growing together. As you grow your farm, you’ll unlock purr-suasive new upgrades and squeak-tacular mouse services that will help you create a farm that’s udderly meow-velous!
Who knew a feline and a few mice could work so well together? Join Leo and his rodent buddies, and show that even the fiercest feline can be a fur-midable farmer.
While we do have a web build, for the best experience we recommend using the build suited to your OS.

Meow meow, mow meow. Meowmeow, meow. (I had a lot of fun messing around with the graphics and sound. I think everything ended up super cute! I was definitely a bit silly with everything, I found the laid back approach this time really improved my overall experience.)Balimaar - Programmer
I’m so glad our team decided to go for a farming game—talk about stepping out of my comfort zone and into uncharted territory! I’ve tackled some tricky projects before, but Papercat Farms was a whole new challenge. Day 2, in particular, felt like I was trapped in a whirlwind of bugs and broken code. No matter what I tried to fix, something else would go haywire, and I could practically feel the clock ticking away! 🕒I started to worry that I wasn’t pulling my weight, but I managed to make some progress before my awesome teammate, fgeva, swooped in to lend a hand. That support was a lifesaver! After powering through Day 2, Day 3 was a breeze in comparison—I got a good night’s sleep and woke up ready to tackle the final tasks. It's amazing what a little rest can do, right?
All in all, I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve created. It’s been a real rollercoaster, but seeing Papercat Farms come to life is so rewarding. We’ve pushed ourselves, overcome some serious hurdles, and made something truly special. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!
