About Needle in a Haystack
Needle In A Haystack is a first-person 3D game about exactly what it says. In front of you is a pile of 1.5 million straws of hay, and somewhere inside it are ten needles. Find them all as fast as you can. Walk into the pile and the world closes in: the hay surrounds you, the light dies, and the only thing guiding you is a hot-and-cold detector that ticks faster the closer you get. Every needle you find earns coins. Spend them with the merchant on cool powerups!
