The demo was just the warm up. The full release is bigger, sillier and packed with stuff to find.

There are now 47 needle types to collect, from the Needlefish to the Baguette needle to the legendary Toothpick of Destiny. The hay is full of ridiculous items too, but I won't spoil anything.

Automation has been completely rebuilt, so you can run a whole hay factory with robot arms, drones, robot vacuums and conveyors. On top of that there's a full campaign, four haystack sizes, new game modes, and online co-op for up to 6 players.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo and sent feedback. Grab some friends and go find that needle.
