A desktop accessory game has emerged, blending the Pomodoro timer with the idle genre.

Indie developer kupstudio announced on the 14th that their upcoming PC title, 'PomoTrain: Rabbit Town' (hereafter 'PomoTrain'), will launch its crowdfunding campaign on the 17th. The campaign is hosted via the domestic platform Tumblbug.

PomoTrain mashes up the 'Pomodoro timer'—a classic productivity hack for those of us struggling to stay on task—with an idle game where you nurture a charming rabbit village. When you set your timer for work or study, you earn resources as trains arrive at the village, allowing you to decorate and expand your bunny haven.

The funding drive aims to push PomoTrain over the finish line. Backers can snag rewards depending on their contribution, including: ▲ The official Steam key upon release ▲ Their names etched into the in-game credits ▲ Limited-edition trains and rabbit skins exclusive to Tumblbug backers ▲ Custom mouse pointers and folder icons.

A developer from kupstudio remarked, "We wanted to move beyond a simple timer, creating a joyful experience where the player's personal growth mirrors the development of the in-game village," adding, "Through this Tumblbug campaign, we hope to complete the game alongside our supporters and offer a title that brings both healing and a sense of achievement."
