About the Game

Build Food Combos & Maximize Energy

All the food stored in your pouches is your ultimate ace in the hole!

Each turn, food is spat out randomly. Strategize your eating order to trigger powerful effects and massive absorption buffs!

High energy efficiency is the secret to gathering a hoard of food and rare items.

Pro Tip: Unabsorbed energy will produce Choco(?), which offers 100% absorption. Take advantage of this wisely to turn the tide!

Explore Ever-Changing Maps

Tile-flipping: You never know what location will be in the next tile!

Wait... you can predict it based on the terrain? Why didn't you say so earlier!

Adapt your strategy to the locations you uncover. Beyond standard Exploration, Stash, and Market locations, mysterious special locations await your discovery!

Complete the OKR ... or go back to the cage!

To survive together, every rodent must contribute! Submit food to the barn to meet your seasonal hoarding OKR (Target).

Level up your hoarding rank to unlock more exotic food and elite survival skills!

Warning: Winter is unforgiving. Debts are not allowed, and food requirements skyrocket. Plan ahead or back to the cage!
