We turned The Farmer Was Replaced into a Bongo Cat auto clicker. Still can’t believe how much you all liked this random idea. 😅 With the new tap() function, you can automate typing in Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot using code.
HELLO plot twist I have actually been working on a new Barbie horse game the whole time (as a consultant, but you know what, that counts, and also please note it's actually quite impressive how many unannounced exciting horse game projects I'm aware of and not talking about at any given moment)

How cool is this! We got to do a collab with Bongo Cat 😄 You can now use The Farmer Was Replaced to automate Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot. Didn’t have that on my bingo card. 😅
Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social · 4mo agoWe had a pretty strange idea a few months ago. 😄 Together with the developers of “Bongo Cat” and “Tap Tap Loot,” we’ve created a little crossover project we’re calling “The Typer Was Replaced.” With it, you can now automate the two games from @iroxgames.bsky.social

🎭 A new April Fools Goblin is live 👺 You can unlock it the usual way by rolling the right ingredients… but this time we’re not giving you the code directly. Instead, you’ll have to solve a small riddle. The answer is a single letter. Curious to see who figures it out first 🍣🧠
