Six grades score a round, from Bullseye and Right there down to Close call, Not far off, Wide and Miles off

The whole game

She telegraphs, you decode

If she teleported her egg to a random spot this would be a lottery, so she tells you, in hen, and you learn to listen

She drifts and feints

Every round she inspects a spot or two, peering, scratching, pretending

About half of those looks are honest, the rest are theatre

The broody meter

Twenty seconds, a filling bar, and a tick you can hear over the last five

When it fills, whatever stands on the grass is your answer

Lock in early

Committing before the clock runs pays up to 320 extra, so long as you land close

Every second you watch buys knowledge and burns bonus

Streaks pay double

Stay close round after round and the multiplier climbs to two times

Best score keeps the receipts

A round in four acts

Twenty seconds of theatre

Each round is a small play with one actor, and she never breaks character

The hen wandering the farmyard in low golden light

Watch her

She pecks, scratches, preens, and drifts over to look at a nest or two

One of those looks is genuine about half the time

A red pennant flag planted in the grass with a gold ring around it

Plant your flag

Tap anywhere in the yard, tap again to move it

Drag to orbit the camera, a drag never places a flag

The broody meter nearly full with the countdown running low

Lock in

The early lock bonus drains while you watch

Hold your nerve or cash your hunch, both are legitimate farming

The camera following the hen in a letterboxed cinematic frame as she settles

She commits

The frame letterboxes and the camera follows her in

She scrapes a hollow, settles, lays, and a tape measure tells you the truth

Fifteen ways to be wrong

Every spot has a name

The result card never just says you missed, it tells you where she actually went

  • Nest box one
  • Nest box two
  • Nest box three
  • Behind the straw
  • Beside the bales
  • The dust bowl
  • Under the coop
  • Behind the crates
  • By the log pile
  • Under the wheelbarrow
  • By the barn door
  • The middle of the yard
  • The long grass
  • The far corner
  • Near the gate

A real smallholding

A red barn seven metres tall, a silo, a raised coop, a windmill, a scarecrow, a water trough, hay bales and a wheelbarrow nobody puts away

The sun sits low in the south east on purpose, so the barn lays its shadow right across the play area

She keeps score too

Roughly four rounds in ten end at the nest boxes, the rest end wherever she pleases

Eggs from earlier rounds stay in the yard, a little museum of your judgement

Nothing downloaded

Every feather drawn in code

There is not a single art file in the whole game, no models, no textures, no sounds, everything is generated on your device at start

The texture bakery

Barn siding with knots and flaking paint, roof shingles, hen plumage, straw and stone, all painted onto canvases while the loading bar fills

The loading bar is real work, not theatre

A hen built from the bones out

Her head holds still in space while her body walks underneath it, the single most chicken thing a chicken does

Around eighty drawn feathers hang off a skeleton that is solved fresh every frame

Audio from thin air

Every cluck, squawk, peck and chime is synthesised the moment you hear it

Even the egg song is three clucks and a rising sweep that breaks

A frame rate with manners

Three quality tiers, and the engine steps itself down before your phone gets warm

The whole farm still fits in a WebView on a modest Android

The purse

Every round pays, bullseyes pay in gems

Coins arrive on the same six bands the game scores on, and the rarest thing you can do is the only thing that mints a gem

Coins every round

Six bands, from 120 for a bullseye down to 3 for a brave attempt

Gems are rare on purpose

One gem per bullseye, and no other faucet exists

Fair questions

Asked and answered

Do I need an account to play?

No, the yard plays fully offline, an account only exists to keep coins and gems safe across devices

Is it free?

Yes, and there is nothing to buy inside, no ads either

Is there multiplayer?

Not yet, though every round is dealt from a seed, so two phones could one day watch the very same hen

Which platforms will it be on?

Android and iOS builds are on the way

How is the install so small?

There are no assets to ship, every model, texture and sound is generated on your device while the loading bar fills

What data does it collect?

Almost none, and none at all without an account, the details live on the privacy page

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from the account sheet inside the game, and the purse and its ledger go with it

Why did she walk away from the nest?

Because she is a hen, and hens bluff

The flag is yours to plant

Guess where she lays

One hen, one yard, one guess
