Farm Hero is a browser-based puzzle game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on animals, so expect a steady difficulty curve. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Farm Hero
"A disaster has struck the farm! The flood has scattered all the animals. They're scared and barely floating above the water. Use your wits to connect the animals into the given shapes so they can be rescued."
How to play Farm Hero
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |

On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Farm Hero holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — animals — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
