About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
Find the Needle - Before you stands a tower of hay, and you have one singular task. Buried within it is a needle. Find it. Win the ultimate prize!
Earn Some Cash - For every strand searched, you'll earn some prestigious hay bucks. We may have also misplaced some ... things in there. Turn them in, and we'll give you an extra helping.
Unlock and Upgrade - Scattered around are some state-of-the-art hay sorting machines. Although we seem to have lost the fuses. You can also buy some much-sought-after upgrades to help you find that needle!
Use Unique Tools - We're not expecting you to search every single strand. To help, there are several tools to use if you've got the Haybucks.
Enter Haycore - Finding the needle is just the beginning...
