A yellow-bellied marmot has one summer to get fat enough to sleep through winter. The flowers are underground. So are you. Swipe to run him through a burrow of hand-drawn 24-bit masonry, eating every blue flower you can reach. Clear the burrow and a fresh one is dug, deeper and faster. Overhead, birds of prey. They do not follow the tunnels — they fly above the whole board on long banking curves, pick their moment, and stoop. Each one hunts differently: one comes straight down your neck, one aims at where you are about to be, one flanks, and one loses interest. You get a warning before every dive. What you do with it is your business. Eat a gold bloom and the sky turns against them. Briefly. - Three lives, endless burrows - Loose earth in every burrow: lean on it and he digs through. Slow, and sometimes exactly what you need - Two leaderboards: your best score, and the longest you have ever lasted - Every burrow generated fresh — no two runs are the same layout - Twelve marmots on the roster, each with something to brag about - No ads, ever Five free runs a day. They refill at 7pm wherever you are, because a midnight refill lands while everyone is asleep. One purchase removes the count for good. Made by someone who likes marmots. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Fat Marmot Week, OnlyMarms, the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, or any real marmot.
