Snacko is an adorable farming simulation and adventure game we here at myPotatoGames have been keeping tabs on bluecurse’s updates. The indie studio is comprised of husband and wife Jordan and Erisa. In Snacko, you play as a cat named Momo who is determined to revive a once-populated island with many great resources and places to explore. The characters Momo and Mikan are even based off of the developers’ real-life cats!
Unfortunately, an error occurred during the live-stream on Twitch during Bitsummit 2019 and the Snacko trailer was nowhere to be found. Luckily, the developers have recently published the cat-tastic trailer which includes Momo farming, fishing, decorating (with ease might we add), spending time with friends, and enjoying seasonal festivities!
Snacko will be releasing sometime in 2021 on the Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam and itch.io). For more Tokyo Game Show 2019 related news, which also includes a pair of cat ears, check out our article here: Giraffe and Annika a Manga-Inspired RPG at Bitsummit 2019.
Farm, fish, decorate, explore, and recruit animal friends to rebuild an abandoned island is how the Snacko Developers describes their own game in a few words. The indie studio bluecurse founded by husband and wife Jordan and Erisa, recently delighted their fans with the monthly devblog update all about the adorable Snacko.
Snacko is farming sim game where you might have guessed, cats rule the world! Players can go on adventures to do some fishing, exploring, decorating and so much more. Town and farmland customization are also part of the fun.
In the most recent devblog it was announced that Snacko now features more weather! After announcing snow in the previous devblog, we can now enjoy the beautiful fall seasons with all its pretty colors. The developers of course note that “cats aren’t especially fond of getting wet, the bright side is at least now you don’t have to water all your crops!” We love our rainy days in games like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons to evade garden chores for a day, so this is a great addition!
A unique twist on the game are the new puzzle dungeons that add a little bit of a spin to the gameplay. Puzzle dungeons have multiple levels with puzzles that need to be solved in order to advance. The developers left us wanting for more information, but the early concept art give us some Zelda dungeon/puzzle vibes – we are so excited!
Foraging was another feature that has made its way into Snacko. The developers talked a little bit how foraging is going to work in the upcoming indie title. Much like in other farming simulation games like Stardew Valley, foraging takes up stamina but in Snacko players can “hit it at the right time when the circle closes in, it won’t use any stamina at all! Time your hits carefully to make the most out of your day.” This adds a little bit of skill-work to the mining process.
Head over to the official Snacko devlog for some more details and information on how the game has evolved since the last update! Snacko is expected to release sometime in the year 2021 for PC and Nintendo Switch.

Snacko is a farming simulation game developed by an indie studio called bluecurse where you play as a cat! If you haven’t heard of this amazing game yet you can get caught up with us here. You’ll be able to farm, fish, cook, decorate, and recruit different animals to your island sometime in 2021 on PC and the Nintendo Switch. See below for bluecurse’s latest devblog for the newest developments in Snacko.
Crafting can be a lot of fun as you have to find recipes by talking to new characters and discovering new locations. That means there’s a lot of exploring to do! You can also find the required materials you need to build things around your farm and other areas outside. You can see in the image below that some items you can craft will be for cosmetic purposes so you can have fun decorating.
Other items will be very useful in helping you with your farming such as sprinklers for your crops, and a lamp to help you see at nighttime. Moreover, there seems to be tools that you need to craft to perform certain activities (i.e. fishing rod for fishing).
Cooking just became a lot more pleasant as not only do you follow recipes from a book but you can also experiment and your recipe book will record what you’ve learned! Furthermore, there are recipes that will require very specific food items to complete, such as tomatoes for tomato soup, and there will be recipes that are a little more general.
For example, to make a fruit tart you can choose any kind of fruit you want and any attribute that adds a “sweet” flavor. All consumables will have categories like vegetables or meats, as well as whether it tastes sweet, sour, etc. This way you can get a little more creative with your dishes as long as they meet the conditions listed.
There will be four distinct islands asides from the main island which houses your farm and the town. Each new island you discover has its own puzzles, resources, monsters, and creatures. Since there is so much exploring to do, the developers have thought of a unique way that you can stay out for several days. Instead of having to return all the way back home, you only need to bring a few of this key item: cardboard boxes!
Cardboard boxes are the most comfortable beds to a cat as long as they stay dry. This means you will have to make sure you find an area that is covered or go inside caves. It’s easy to obtain them; get them for free from shops from time to time or check out the junkyard. Each box can be used for up to three times so it is important to stock up if you want to be out for a while.
There will be different weather or environmental effects on the other islands. Therefore, the developers are working on adding summer, fall, and winter to the game, which already included spring. As time passes you will get to see the environment change and have many lovely things to look at; spring has cherry blossoms and now fall will have colored leaves. In addition, notice in the image below how your character Momo has left behind some adorable little kitty footprints in the snow!
The creators have started selling more merchandise from their online store here, and are providing their supporters with discount codes. New this month is the adorable keychains you can see below. You can also continue to support this game on Patreon and receive some interesting perks!
