About the Game

Four employees, one RV, and one absurd night-shift mission: sneak into the wheat fields and carve the perfect "alien message" to make the whole world believe the aliens have landed.

Mowers cut wheat — and shred monsters too. Just hit the gas, and the problem solves itself.

  • Handheld Mower — Carve precise circles, and slice any monster that gets in your face clean in half

  • Arc Suction Gun — Drop a beacon, walk a circle around it, and let the arc line carve a perfect ring. Or use it to grab monsters and fling them away — or latch onto a teammate and drag them off

  • Plasma Gun — Blast searing plasma to burn scorched crop-circle lines into the field, and roast any monster that gets too close

  • Mower Rig — A wheat-shredding beast. Hop on solo and plow your front-mounted blades straight through the crops (and any monster in the way) to carve the boldest circles

  • Bombs, Matches, Seeds, Megaphone — All sorts of "solutions" you can buy at the shop (and brand-new ways to make trouble)

The monsters here aren't out to scare you — they're out to annoy you:

  • Little Pumpkin Fiends — Swarm at you with cleavers, then tumble like bowling pins when your vehicle sends them flying

  • Scarecrow — Can't move while you're looking at it; turn away for a second and it's right in your face

  • Broken Toy Gardener — Doesn't attack you. It just quietly regrows every patch of wheat you worked so hard to cut

  • Grey Aliens, Cultists, Giant Ant Swarms, Chainsaw Maniacs — Each map has its own special troublemaker

How to deal with them? Shout "Monster on the left!" and just run them over.

But it's not just monsters out there. Under the night sky, the field is littered with things that… really shouldn't be on a farm.

  • Glowing Potion Bottle — What happens if you drink it? Nobody knows — so just drink it first and ask questions later

  • Blinking Chest — Full of good stuff… as long as it feels like sharing

  • Mystery Vending Machine — Pop in a coin and roll the dice: treasure or prank, it's all down to luck

  • Brass Cannon — Load yourself (or a teammate) inside and launch across half the field

  • Carousel Music Box — Give it a spin, and strange things start to happen

Grab what you find and use it — the weird stuff in the field is often exactly what turns the game around.

Features:

  • Online co-op physics game for up to 4 players

  • Tons of crop circles waiting to be completed

  • A wild arsenal of mowing gear, from plasma guns to mower rigs to wreck the field with

  • Mysterious otherworldly objects scattered across the field — every one a surprise (or a scare)

  • Team up with friends to turn something simple into total chaos

  • A satisfying mowing feel paired with the co-op joy of working precisely while screaming at each other

Grab your friends, hop on voice chat, and head into the wheat. The more perfect the plan, the funnier the meltdown.

But seriously… there might actually be something out there in the field.
