Run Fat Marmot Run

Five runs a day, and they land at seven in the evening — when you are actually awake.

A yellow-bellied marmot has one summer to get fat enough to sleep through winter. The flowers are underground. So are you.

Swipe to run him through a burrow of hand-drawn 24-bit masonry, eating every blue flower you can reach. Clear the burrow and a fresh one is dug, deeper and faster.

Overhead, birds of prey. They do not follow the tunnels — they fly above the whole board on long banking curves, pick their moment, and stoop. Each one hunts differently: one comes straight down your neck, one aims at where you are about to be, one flanks, and one loses interest. You get a warning before every dive. What you do with it is your business.

Eat a gold bloom and the sky turns against them. Briefly.

• Three lives, endless burrows
• Loose earth in every burrow: lean on it and he digs through. Slow, and sometimes exactly what you need
• Two leaderboards: your best score, and the longest you have ever lasted
• Every burrow generated fresh — no two runs are the same layout
• Twelve marmots on the roster, each with something to brag about
• No ads, ever

Five free runs a day. They refill at 7pm wherever you are, because a midnight refill lands while everyone is asleep. One purchase removes the count for good.
