Controlá al hornero por la pampa con un joystick, recolectá barro y paja repartidos por el campo, y llevalos hasta la rama para construir su nido en cuatro etapas. Pero cuidado: el chimango, su depredador natural, te persigue. Si te toca, perdés una vida. El objetivo es completar el nido lo más rápido posible y competir por el mejor tiempo en el ranking global. CARACTERÍSTICAS: - Movimiento libre en un mapa abierto - Mecánica de recolección y construcción - Un depredador que te persigue: el chimango - Sistema de vidas y cronómetro - Ranking global de mejores tiempos - Datos reales sobre el hornero - Gráficos en pixel art Un homenaje al hornero, símbolo del trabajo y la constancia.
