A one-person games label at Avani Real Estate Ltd, growing small things slowly.
Rootyield builds small Android games with no timers shouting at you, no accounts and nothing to buy. Right now there is one of them: Tendergrove, a garden you can leave alone for a week and come back to.
The workbench
A garden game that nags you is a garden game nobody keeps. Tendergrove was built backwards from that: crops grow at their own speed, nothing wilts while you are away, and no notification begs you to come back. The reward for returning is simply that something has ripened.
Every crop has visible stages, so a glance tells you where the garden is. No progress bars, no countdown numbers — just a shape that has changed since yesterday.
Harvest, sell, buy better seeds, open another bed. It is the oldest loop there is, and it works because each turn of it is short and finishes cleanly.
The whole game runs offline. There is no server to talk to, no login, no advertising and nothing to purchase, which also means there is nothing about you to lose.
The game
A calm gardening game about turning one patch of soil into a grove worth walking through. Plant a seed, let it come up through its stages, harvest it when it is ripe, sell it, and put the coins straight back into the ground. Here is that loop, running for real.
Pick a seed in the panel, then click an empty bed to plant it.
Crops keep unlocking as the tin fills: quick roots for early coins, slower fruit worth far more, and decorations for the corners of the plot once every bed is open. Your grove keeps growing at its own pace whether the app is open or not, and there is always one more thing ripening or one more corner to cultivate.
Everything runs on your device — no account, no connection, no ads. Just soil, seeds, and a grove that grows with you.
