Toby's Carrot Patch

Toby's Carrot Patch is a desktop mining game in which Toby, a tiny miner, wanders across your screen without a background. Your clicks pass through him, so he does not interfere with your other apps or videos. He swings his pickaxe in a corner of the screen, digging up carrots, golden carrots and treasure chests.

Dig and improve

Toby collects what he finds, and you spend carrots to increase mining power, speed and luck or buy a better pickaxe. Stronger equipment lets him uncover more valuable finds. The game has 7 pickaxe tiers, each with enhancements, and 7 upgradable stats.

Items from treasure chests can be added to your collection for permanent stat boosts or sold for carrots. You can gather materials to craft special pickaxes, which can uncover rare finds that other pickaxes cannot. The cycle of digging, collecting, crafting and improving continues as you go deeper.

Recruit animal workers

You can recruit worker rabbits to dig alongside Toby and fuse matching workers into rarer, more capable species. The roster includes 12 animals across grades, including shibas, foxes, otters and penguins.

Move to new fields

After working a patch enough, you can move to another one. Sandy, rocky and hot-spring fields each have their own quirks. Moving grants golden seeds and permanent buffs, letting you start over with stronger progress; this prestige progression has no stated end.

A desktop companion

There is no combat, failure or incentive to log in to avoid losing progress, and the game gives no offline rewards. Toby stays on your desktop as long as you keep him running. The game includes gentle sound effects, soft pixel art, costumes for Toby, daily rewards and achievements.
