[Into the Mist: Uncharted Deep Exploration] Beneath the veil of fog, fortune and peril intertwine. In Tiny Odyssey, you will navigate a non-linear dungeon-crawling journey where every decision uncovers a new layer of the unknown. Explore at your own risk, but remember: the mist rewards the brave. [Strategic Auto-Battler: Deployment-First Tactics] We’ve streamlined the burden of real-time micro-management to place the spotlight where it belongs: on strategic construction. Success is defined before the battle begins. As the tactician, your mastery over formation, synergy, and skill-chaining will dictate the flow of every encounter. [Roguelike Logic: Balancing Chaos and Calculation] Break free from repetitive level design. With randomized skill drops and procedurally generated monster encounters, no two runs are ever the same. You must master the art of "Dynamic Building"—adapting your strategy on the fly to find the optimal path through the ever-shifting darkness. [Charming Aesthetics: Reimagining the Dungeon Vibe] Featuring a cozy, hand-drawn art style, we’ve redefined the traditionally oppressive atmosphere of the dungeon. Don't let the visuals fool you—beneath this healing exterior lies a hardcore masterpiece designed for strategy purists, offering deep numerical feedback and rewarding tactical depth.
Needle Quest

One lost needle. A haystack full of secrets. Where would you start? Step onto a colourful little farm and search a giant haystack from a first-person view. Pick up your first handful, sell it at the Hay Market and turn small discoveries into better tools. Every straw you remove opens another little pocket. Dig a hollow, carve a tunnel and uncover what is hiding inside. BUILD YOUR TOOLKIT Start with your bare hand, then work through a glove, mini rake, scoop, pitchfork and shovel to a powerful vacuum. Improve your carrying capacity, gathering speed and hay value as you go. Each tool digs in its own shape. FOLLOW THE COLOUR Green, purple, red and orange rare straws give you crystals for tools. Look for blue tech crystals and hidden treasures to develop your engineering kit. Use a collecting bomb to clear a patch or follow scanner echoes towards a find. Your drone carries its own hay to market and earns coins while you keep exploring. FILL YOUR COLLECTION Find seven distinctive campaign needles as the haystacks grow from 50,000 to 3 million straws. Finish the campaign to unlock Free Play, choose a haystack size and search for secret needles. Discover curious farm treasures and collect all four Sewing Kit pieces for a bonus. DAILY WORD HUNT Find hidden 3D letters and collect the word of the day across several haystacks. Complete the word to earn bonus tech crystals. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Simple touch controls, portrait and landscape layouts, and progress saved on your device let you return to your search. The core game works offline. Optional rewarded advertisements need a connection and availability may vary. Every handful brings you closer. What will you uncover next?
