Questions & answers

A one-person game studio in New Delhi, India, run by Ankit Jain. Design, code, art direction and support all come from the same desk, and every email to support@horizongames.live reaches the person who made the game.

Small, unhurried games for phones: things that respect the player’s time, with no timers pushing you around. One for slow evenings (Mini Farm), one for curious children (Little Explorers), and one more on the way (Rival Worlds).

HorizonGames is a trading name of Ankit Jain (sole proprietor), New Delhi, India. The same details are on each game’s support page.

Mini Farm — a cozy farm-and-shop game for Android: grow crops, raise animals, run a farm shop and visit friends’ farms.

Little Explorers — a learning game for children aged 2 to 12 on Android and iOS: dozens of mini-games across seven lands, from bubbles and the ABC to fractions, coding and circuits.

Rival Worlds — coming soon: build a colony on your own hex-tiled planet, then send your fleet to raid rival worlds.

Each game has its own pages. Mini Farm: FAQ, beginner’s guide and support. Little Explorers: FAQ, how to play and support. This page only covers questions about the studio as a whole.

Mini Farm is on Android (Google Play). Little Explorers is on Android (Google Play) and iPhone and iPad (App Store). Rival Worlds will come to Android and iOS.

Both are free to download. Mini Farm is free to play, with optional in-game purchases. Little Explorers is free on Android with occasional child-safe ads (a one-time “Remove ads” purchase switches them off); on iPhone and iPad it has no ads, two free games in every land and a one-time “Unlock all games” purchase.

It’s coming soon to Android and iOS. There’s nothing to sign up for yet — it will appear on this site when it’s ready.

Mini Farm is made for a general audience and players must be at least 13 (or the age of digital consent in their country, if higher). For younger children we made Little Explorers, designed for ages 2 to 12.

Mini Farm: no — you can play as a guest, or create an optional HorizonGames account with passwordless email sign-in so your farm is backed up and can move to a new phone. Little Explorers: there are no accounts at all, and nothing to sign in to.

The account page is for Mini Farm players with a HorizonGames account. Little Explorers doesn’t use it.

Mini Farm accounts can be deleted straight away in the game (Settings → Account → Delete account) or from the account portal; the account deletion page explains exactly what is removed. Little Explorers has no account to delete — its data stays on the device, and uninstalling the app removes it.

Each game has its own: the Mini Farm privacy policy and the Little Explorers privacy policy. The terms of service are at /terms (Mini Farm) and /littleexplorers/terms.

Little Explorers is built for children under 13 and collects no personal information: no accounts, no chat, no analytics, no camera, microphone, location or contacts access. A child’s optional first name and age stay on the device. On Android, its ads are child-directed, G-rated and non-personalised; on iOS there are no ads. It is designed to comply with COPPA, GDPR-K and the Apple Kids Category and Google Play Families policies. Mini Farm is for players aged 13 and over.

Each game’s privacy policy sets out exactly what it collects and why. Little Explorers collects no personal information at all; Mini Farm’s collection is described in the Mini Farm privacy policy.

Mini Farm sells packs of in-game currency (Diamonds) and a 30-day Gem Pass — see Mini Farm support. Little Explorers has one optional one-time purchase per platform: “Remove ads” on Android and “Unlock all games” on iOS, both $4.99.

Every purchase is processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store, so refunds follow their policies: on Android via Google Play’s order history, on iOS at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you get stuck, email support@horizongames.live and we’ll help.

Purchases belong to your Google Play account or Apple ID. In Little Explorers, tap Restore purchases in the grown-ups area; on iOS the “Unlock all games” purchase is also shared with your Apple Family Sharing group. For Mini Farm, sign in with your HorizonGames account on the new phone to bring your farm across.

Mini Farm offers optional rewarded video ads (Google AdMob) that you can choose to watch for in-game rewards, subject to your consent choices. Little Explorers on Android shows an occasional child-safe ad only when a child leaves a game — never during play, at most once every four minutes — and it can be removed with one purchase. Little Explorers on iOS has no ads at all.

Please email support@horizongames.live with the game, what the ad was for and roughly when you saw it. We can block advertisers and categories in AdMob.

Email support@horizongames.live. There’s no ticket queue and no bot; we usually reply within two working days. The support page lists what to include so we can help quickly.

Please do. Email support@horizongames.live with “Press” in the subject for screenshots, artwork or a chat.

Email support@horizongames.live with a short note about what you have in mind — for example using Little Explorers in a classroom. It reaches the studio directly.
