Short description

Lay the belts, start the windmill and watch Hank’s farm stand fill up. Calm logic puzzles with no timers and no energy.

Long description

Hank the hedgehog runs a little farm stand, and his neighbors keep ordering more than one hedgehog can make by hand. So you build him a factory.

Lay conveyor belts across the barn floor, set up the windmill, the jam pot and the cheese press, and press Run. Wheat becomes flour. Berries and sugar become jam. Jam and hay become a gift basket, packed and on the counter just as Tom the rabbit walks up.

Every order is a small puzzle: get the right goods to the right machine, in the right order. Press Run and watch your factory work, then fix it, tidy it and run it again. Any working line passes; a short, tidy one earns all three stars.
