Barnyard Jam
Read full descriptionHide full description
A sliding block puzzle with a farm waiting on the other side. The fruit you clear isn't a score. It's dinner. No matching, no lucky drops. Just a jammed barnyard and one right order to unjam it. HOW IT PLAYS Every crate slides in a straight line. They never lift, never jump, and each one leaves only through the gate that matches its color. The catch is everything parked in front of it. Move the wrong one first and you seal off your own exit. Read the jam, pick the order, get out before the timer runs down. • Hay bales and rocks that will not budge, so you route around them • Ice blocks to crack open before anything behind them moves • Fruit buried under a layer you have to uncover first • Levels marked Hard mean it • A countdown on every board. Run it out and it costs a life. Lives come back over time • Hammer to smash one block, magnet to pull every crate of one color off the board, freeze to stop the clock for 10 seconds WHAT YOU HARVEST GOES HOME • Rescue five animals as you play, one every few levels: a hen, a pig, a cow, a horse and a sheep • Name each one yourself the moment you save it, or keep Clotilde, Torito, Margarita, Rocinante and Nube • Feed them what you picked and watch the mood turn: Happy, OK, Hungry, Full • Keep everyone happy and you get HAPPY FARM! +50% harvest on the levels you play next • They fill baskets with eggs, milk, wool and more. Sell what piles up for coins • Plant a garden with your crops: daisies, sunflowers, mushrooms, corn, lettuce, flowering shrubs EVERY DAY • Three daily missions, and you can swap the ones you don't feel like: win 3 levels, harvest 40 fruits, serve 2 meals, uncover 5 hidden fruits, finish with 20 seconds left • Clear all three and a power-up is yours • A feeding streak that plays fair: miss a day and you drop one step, never back to zero • Quiet reminders when a basket fills up, or when the animals set some harvest aside for you Around 125 levels of progression, plus 5 special rescue levels where somebody is waiting on the far side of the board. Soft colors, hand-made 3D, animals with names. Nothing here is in a hurry except the clock. Plays in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Slide a few crates. Clotilde is hungry.
