Description:

If you enjoyed The Cookie Clicker Game, you are in for even more fun! Progress throughout the game to unlock different kinds of fruits, and earn cash to become the best farmer ever.  Also, earn some Trophies along the way as a reward for all your hard work! Tired of waiting too long to get rich? Buy those upgrades to ensure that picking fruit would be less tiring, and reach the max score to retire early throughout the year.  Be sure to watch out for the bonus opportunities, because only 3 times will be considered the "charm"!

How To Play:

MONEY NEEDED TO WIN: $5,000,000

Blue Achievement Unlocked at $10

Green Achievement Unlocked at $100

Purple Achievement Unlocked at $1,000

Yellow Achievement Unlocked at: $10,000

1.) You start off with only  being able to unlock the Apple. Once you do this, you are able to increment the amount of money by clicking on the Apple until you can afford upgrades. The "Arrow" helps the value of each fruit/click increase by more, and the "Hand" upgrade  adds a certain amount of money for the "Clicks per Second". 

2.) Once you are able to unlock the Orange, you will do the exact same as step 1. Basically, you keep clicking and upgrading until you can afford the Banana. However, you notice that you have to put in more work than previously with the Apple Section.

3.) Once you are able to unlock the Banana, you realize you even have to put even more work due to this representing the "Final Round". You keep clicking and upgrading  towards the $5,000,000 mark, but you will encounter various ways to get bonus money  at the $100,000, $500,000,  and $1,000,000 mark! Basically, a modal will pop up on the screen and showcase a specific pattern that you must follow through for bonus money. If you happen to not follow through with it, you will end up missing your chance and the modal will disappear. Once you reach $5,000,000, you will become the World's Greatest Farmer!
