Bedfellows
A companion-planting roguelite. Live
Plant seeds on a small garden bed, where every crop scores from what grows beside it. Corn does better between beans and squash, basil helps the tomatoes, and a tomato beside a potato drags both down. Each round is five short days with a harvest target to reach. Clear all twelve and you have grown a whole garden year.
The Android app is still listed under its old name, FocusFarm, while the store page is updated.
How it plays
Placement is the game
Each seed has one rule about what grows near it: the Three Sisters, basil by the tomatoes, onions to hide the carrots. Where you plant matters as much as what.
Short seasons, one year a run
Four seasons of three rounds, five days a round. Reach each round's target or the run ends. A round takes a couple of minutes.
The bed carries over
Soil, slow crops and perennials stay from round to round, so you plan for the year. When winter comes, frost takes the tender crops.
A market between rounds
Spend what you earn on seeds, tools and one-off supplies, grow the bed from 4×4 to 6×6, or take a card out of your seed bag.
Real gardening
Companion pairs, nitrogen-fixing beans, frost-tender crops and in-season harvests: the rules come from how gardens actually behave.
Every point explained
Pick a seed and every empty square shows what it would score there. Tap a crop and its harvest is broken down step by step.
Why it's different
Most farming games are about waiting: plant, come back later, collect. Bedfellows is about space. A small bed, a handful of seeds and a short year turn every planting into a decision, and a whole run fits in one sitting. It replaced FocusFarm, our earlier farming game, at the same address.
Tech
- Vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript (native ES modules). No build step, no framework.
- Runs entirely on your device: progress is saved in the browser's local storage. No account, no server, no analytics.
- A service worker caches the game, so it plays offline after the first visit.
- The same build runs in the Android app, through Capacitor.
- Crops and interface drawn as SVG in code, with no image files.
Privacy and data
Bedfellows has no accounts and sends nothing anywhere: your garden is saved on your device and nowhere else. If you had a FocusFarm account, its data is still held until you ask us to delete it. The pages below say what that data is and how to remove it.
