Barn Rush

Grab it. Haul it. Beat the clock. You're a farm animal, the field is covered in food, and the round lasts fifteen seconds. Fill your pockets, run it home, and bank it before the buzzer. Between rounds, draft upgrades until one little sheep has a tornado, a tractor and a snail on the payroll.

EASY TO PICK UP

You move and you dash. That's the controls. No combat, and food leaps to you as you pass. Whatever's on your back at the buzzer still counts. There's a short tutorial, a Very Easy mode, and you can save mid-run. Kid tested: the developer's daughters are on the playtest crew.

DRAFT A BUILD THAT SHOULDN'T WORK

Every level-up earns a Wooden Chest: choose 1 of 3 Wooden Cards to boost your build, steering with rerolls, banishing cards, and the option to pin one for later. Clear a 5-Round Harvest for a reward: a guaranteed Silver Chest or a spin of the Hay Wheel with a chance to earn a Gold Chest. Silver Cards add a twist like a Tractor, helper Bees, a Stew Pot that upgrades your food, or gassy burritos that propel your dash further. Gold Cards are rare, and they break the rules. Play it safe or chase a game-changer: your run, your call.

HARVEST EVERY FIFTH ROUND

Rounds come in sets of five, each with a Harvest Goal set for the Feed you earn across those Rounds. The fifth is a 45-second Gauntlet Round on a larger field with a random game-changing challenge and a hungry goblin. Meet the Harvest Goal to continue the run, secure your Feed, and choose a reward. Miss it, and the run is over.

THEN IT GETS SILLY

Add a Hay Wagon to fetch food for you. Use Magnet Pulse to pull valuable food toward you. Recruit a pelican to help fly food back. A radio station called WHEAT-FM attracts wheat to your Barn. Use the Double Bake Oven to combine pies to save space. Serve fries at your Barn, use a toaster to propel into the field, or add a train station to shuttle you back faster. Or break the rules with Round World to wrap around the map. Every run gets absurdly strong in a different direction.

YOUR FARM, YOUR LOOK

Back at your Farmstead, the Feed you brought home is used to purchase cosmetics. 17 animals, six colors each (yes, you can have a Berry sheep), a rack of hats from a Farmer's Hat to a Royal Crown, and fields for a sunny day, a moonlit night, autumn and snow.

KEEP SCORE AT HOME

Give everyone in the house their own farm with up to 6 profiles that sync with Steam Cloud, then check the Archives: high scores for every difficulty, a Diary of past runs with round-by-round Feed charts, and lifetime stats down to how much food the goblins ate. Flip a switch to see your scores next to everyone else's, then go claim the household high score.

FAIR AND SQUARE

Every run earns Feed. Spend it mid-run on upgrades to push that run further, or save it to bring back to the Farmstead and use to buy new animals, themes, and cosmetics. Every new run starts with the same power. No microtransactions, no pay-to-win.
