Pocket Orchard

Pocket Orchard is comfort food. You plant, water, harvest, and slowly turn a bare plot into a cheerful little orchard. Everything is tap-based and forgiving, and there are no aggressive timers pushing you to check back every hour.

It's the game I open when I want to switch my brain off. The decorating side is deeper than it looks, and I found myself rearranging benches for far too long.

Perfect for one hand, easy on the battery, and pleasant to look at. It won't challenge you, but that's the whole idea.
