Barley Hitch

BARLEY HITCH is a one-finger farm arcade about a very tall scarecrow named Stilt and three round bales of hay. The wind keeps blowing them across the field toward the creek, and Stilt has one rope and two long arms to bring them back to the barn. Press and hold any of the three lanes and Stilt hauls that bale toward the barn door. Lift your finger and the wind takes over again. You can only hold one bale at a time, so the whole game is about choosing which bale to rescue next and sliding your finger to it in time. Stilt's grip is the twist. The grip meter on the side rail melts while you hold and refills while you rest. Hold too long and the rope slips: for one second you cannot haul anything. Short, smart pulls beat one long tug. A field lasts five gusts. Every gust that ends with bales still standing pays points for each of them, and the calm fifth gust adds a field bonus. Keep at least one bale out of the creek until the last gust ends and the field is saved, then move on to the next field, where the wind starts stronger. Haul a bale all the way into the barn for extra points, and stack several in a row to build a streak, but every stacked bale comes back to the middle of its lane, so greed has a price. Lose all three bales and the run is over.
