How to play
- Hawks are carrying off the chickens. You fly the farm's little red biplane. Pop the hawks out of the sky, catch each chicken as it falls, and set it back down in the yard. The strip across the top of the picture is a map of the whole farm, and the farm wraps around, so you can fly one way forever.
- Fly with the left and right arrows or A and D, and climb and dive with the up and down arrows or W and S. Hold Space to fire puff shots; four can be in the air at once. On a phone, use the pad and buttons under the picture, and hold more than one at a time.
- A hawk drifts to a chicken, swoops, grabs it, and flaps up toward the clouds. Pop the hawk and the chicken falls, flapping. Touch it to catch it for 500 points, then fly low over the ground and it hops off for another 500. A chicken that drops from near the ground lands fine for 250. One that falls from way up lands hard and runs off to hide in the wheat until the next wave.
- A hawk that reaches the clouds with a chicken comes back as a stormhawk, which flies straight at you and is much faster. If the coop empties, every hawk turns into a stormhawk until the coop is restocked, which happens every fifth wave.
- Hawks and stormhawks are worth 150 points. Crows (250) glide across and drop burrs that hang in the air for a few seconds. Beehives (1,000) burst into bees (150 each) that chase you. If a wave drags on past a minute and a half, the barn owl (200) comes hunting — and keeps coming back every 20 seconds while the wave lasts. Touching any bird, bee, or burr costs a plane.
- Press X for a pepper puff: every bird and bee in view sneezes itself out of the game, and a hawk carrying a chicken drops it, so be ready to catch. Press C for a cloud hop: you duck into a cloud and pop out somewhere else on the farm, at the same height. It needs three seconds to recharge.
- A wave ends when every hawk is gone, and pays 100 points for each chicken left, times the wave number (up to five). You start with three planes and three pepper puffs, and every 10,000 points earns one more of each. Press P or Esc to pause and M to mute. Enter starts.
