A blocky, family-friendly, comedic co-op action tower defense. Grow a village, arm it with scarecrows, and hold the line against an endless payroll of grey-suit collectors. Alone, or with three friends.
Key art — the look the build is being pulled toward.
Objective
Your kingdom will fall. That is not the question.
The question is how long you keep it standing. CropCorp is a survival tower defense where you are not a cursor floating above the battlefield — you are down in the mud with a hoe, swinging at anything in a suit.
Between waves the world keeps going. Villagers need feeding, walls need mending, and trees need felling before the next lot arrive. Every building you own costs something to keep. How long you survive is your score.
Features
What you actually do
🌾
Farm a living economy
Chop trees into logs, mill logs into planks, and turn planks into walls that actually hold. Wood, stone, ore and food all feed the defence.
🎯
Fight in third person
Turrets alone lose. You alone lose. Both together wins — measured, not guessed. Swings land with knockback, hitstop and a camera that kicks.
🧱
Build walls you can vault
Barricades are tall enough to stop a collector and short enough to hop. Your own fortifications never box you in. Hopping the fence is a mobility perk.
👥
Co-op up to four
Shared kingdom, shared tech, personal hero progression. Someone farms, someone builds, someone is definitely not helping.
🏘️
Villagers with jobs
Assign the orders, they do the work. Injured villagers walk home, rest, and eat from the granary before they are any use to anyone.
💰
Nobody actually dies
Collectors pop into a shower of coins instead. It is family-friendly, and frankly it is what they would have wanted.
Field report
The balance is measured, not vibed
An autopilot hero plays the game with no human attached and reports back, so every balance claim has a number behind it. Against a 16-collector wave:

Neither pillar carries a run on its own, and playing both is clearly strongest — which is exactly the shape an action tower defense wants.
Screenshots
Early build, honest pixels
The fun came first and it passed, so the art followed. These frames are straight out of the build, and the voxel pass is landing on it model by model — so some of them are further along than others. Nothing here is a render.

Heroes
Four faces, one skill tree
Pick a face, then build whatever you like. One open classless tree fed by universal XP — no locked lanes, no wrong answers.
Key art — four to a kingdom.
🌱
The Warden
Grows it, guards it, hits it with a hoe when required.
🛡️
The Captain
Stands where the wall used to be and refuses to move.
🏹
The Ranger
Solves problems from a comfortable distance.
🍲
The Steward
Keeps everyone fed, mended and mildly guilt-tripped.
Personnel
Meet the staff
Everyone who lives on the farm, and everyone who wants a word about it. Rendered straight from the game's own models — what you see here is what turns up in the build.

Progress
Where the build actually is
No mystery, no vertical slice that does not exist. This is the real state of the project, updated straight from the development roadmap.
Phase 0 — Does it feel fun?
The smallest thing that can answer one question — is fighting while defending actually fun? Placeholder blocks only. No economy, no real art.
Complete
Phase 1 — The Village Layer
The wave ends and the world doesn't stop. Villagers, jobs, and the first production chain. This is the layer that turns a defence prototype into CropCorp.
In progress
Phase 1.5 — Chapters
Give the run a shape. Every measured run so far has been a flat line and then a cliff — nothing happens for fifteen days, then you die. Waves in chapters of ten fix that, and turn the demo into a complete arc rather than a slice that stops mid-sentence.
In progress
10 phases after that
Economy and upkeep, 360° defence, a procedural world, then heroes and progression.
The watering can went in this morning. Tonight was the part nobody films: finding out whether it broke the game. It did not, and proving that took eighty ten-day runs. The question is sharper than it…
The owner signed the new trees at breakfast - "love the trees, let's replace all" - so they are the trees now, and the sheet ones sit behind a switch. Then he redesigned the farm's rhythm in one…
A small number of people will get rough builds before anyone else, in exchange for honest opinions and keeping them private. If that is you, tell us a little about yourself. Applications go to the team; the ones that fit the next round hear back on Discord or email.
Recruitment
Be there when the first wave lands
One email when the Steam page opens, one when there is something playable. That is the whole deal — no weekly newsletter, no marketing funnel, no nonsense.
