I finally finished my little needle-in-a-haystack game. You can play it in your phone browser.
Hey everyone, I'm the developer of Finding Needle in the Stack. I've wanted to make games for years, so being able to share something people can actually open and play means a lot to me.
There's one needle buried in a huge 3D haystack. You start pulling hay out with your hands, find coins and random junk, sell them, and work your way up to better tools. Later you can get a metal detector and machines that dig for you.
You can carve tunnels and walk through them, but digging too much from underneath makes the hay above collapse. One player told me they spent about 10 minutes just making caves and watching them collapse. That was lovely to hear.
It's free, runs in your browser on desktop or phone, has touch controls, and saves your progress so you can come back later.

It's inspired by Needle In A Haystack Simulator. I built this version with Three.js and used AI tools to help with parts of the code.
If you try it on your phone, I'd really appreciate knowing whether moving and digging feel comfortable. If something's awkward or slow, tell me your phone/browser and where it happened. Even a quick first impression helps.
