Harvest Before the Storm is a free idle farming game where you plant magic trees and watch their fruit grow bigger and more valuable in real time. The longer you wait, the richer the reward, but storms roll in fast and lightning strikes the biggest fruit first.
Tap a plot to plant, water, or harvest, then decide if you want to play it safe or hold out for a mega harvest. Every storm forces a choice: grab your fruit now or risk it all for the jackpot.
