The full game, right above this text, in one small page that loads in a second. No download, no Flash, no pop-ups, no login.
Why this version runs almost everywhere
- Tiny: the whole game is a few dozen kilobytes. There are no large image or video files to download — every straw is drawn by your browser.
- No plugins: just HTML5 canvas and JavaScript, supported by every browser made in the last several years.
- Low-end friendly: only the part of the haystack on screen is drawn, so it stays smooth on older Chromebooks and phones.
- Private: no account and no personal data. Your best times stay in your own browser.
