About Orchard
Orchard is a small idle clicker game about raising a single tree from a seed and helping life spread around it. Your score is life points, and the aim is to rack up as many as you can.
The screen keeps it simple. A big LIFE counter sits at the top with your growth rate under it, and upgrade slots line both sides, four on the left and four on the right. Click, put your life points into upgrades, and watch that rate creep higher.
Everything is drawn in two tones, a 1-bit look with a soft green tint, and it comes with its own music and sound effects. There's no finish line, so you play Orchard online for as long as the numbers keep you interested.
How to Play Orchard
- Click inside the game window to start growing your tree.
- Click to earn life points.
- Spend life points on the upgrade slots on either side of the screen.
- Watch the number under the LIFE counter. It shows how fast you're growing.
- Keep upgrading to push that rate higher, and stop whenever you like.
What to Expect in Orchard
Orchard is short and quiet. It began as a jam game for the 1-Bit Clicker Jam and a proof of concept for a bigger idea, so expect one tight loop rather than a long list of systems.
Where it shines is mood. The two-tone art is easy on the eyes, the sound is gentle, and the idea of building a little world around one tree gives the numbers some meaning. You can play Orchard free in a browser tab and dip in for a few minutes at a time.
Tips for Orchard
- Buy cheap upgrades early. Several small boosts raise your rate faster than saving for one big one.
- Check the rate under the LIFE counter after each purchase to see which upgrades are worth buying again.
- Leave Orchard open in a tab between clicks and let it keep growing.
- Play with the sound on. The music and effects carry a lot of the calm mood.
- Set yourself a target, like a round number of life points, since the game has no ending.

FAQ

Yes. Orchard is free to play on FunClicker, right in your browser, with no download and no account needed. Click inside the game window and your tree starts growing. It's a small game, so it's easy to try for a few minutes and come back to whenever you want a quiet break.
How do you play Orchard?
Click to earn life points, then spend them on the upgrade slots on both sides of the screen. Upgrades boost your growth, and the number under the LIFE counter shows your current rate, so you can see what each purchase did. Keep clicking and upgrading for as long as you like.
What is the goal of Orchard?
The goal is to collect as many life points as you can by growing your tree and the life around it. There's no ending or final screen. You set your own target and keep going until you're satisfied, which makes Orchard a good fit for short, relaxed sessions.
Who made Orchard?
Orchard was made by JackOatley and Isaac Schanno Johnson, who released it on itch.io. It was coded in plain JavaScript and drawn in Paint.NET, and Isaac Schanno Johnson created the music and sound design. FunClicker embeds their own version, and the Who Made section above links to it.
Can I play Orchard on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a great match. Orchard is written in plain JavaScript and was tested in Chrome and Firefox, so it runs well in a normal browser tab. On a phone it may load, but the screen is small and the game is made for clicking with a mouse, so a computer is the safer choice.
Is Orchard unblocked at school?
Orchard unblocked access depends on your school's network. The game needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install, but whether it opens is up to the network's filters, which we do not control. If FunClicker loads for you, Orchard should load as well.
Is Orchard a clicker or an idle game?
Orchard is a little of both. You click to earn life points, and your upgrades build a growth rate that keeps the counter moving. That makes it an idle clicker game where active clicking speeds you up and patience pays off too. It works well left open in a tab.
Why does Orchard look black and green?
Orchard uses a 1-bit style, which means a strict two-tone palette: dark pixels on a pale green background. The limited colors give it the look of an old handheld screen and keep everything readable, from the LIFE counter at the top to the small upgrade icons on each side.
