Meadowturn

A pasture puzzle for iPhone

Meadowturn

Move the herd, grow the grass. Paddocks sit in a ring around a red barn. Each move is one day: stay, or open a gate to the next paddock. Graze too hard and the grass takes days to return; wait too long and it goes to straw.

For people who like a slow puzzle

Meadowturn is for adults who would rather think three days ahead than race a timer. There are no lives, no energy and no streaks to keep: one field, one herd, and grass that grows on a curve. Undo as often as you like; the meadow waits.

What is in the barn

  • Stay, or open a gate

    Drag the herd into the next paddock or keep it where it is, then press Day. The herd eats where it stands; every other paddock grows overnight.

  • Grass on a curve

    Grass in the middle grows fastest. Grazed bare, it creeps back; left tall for three nights, it turns coarse. "In three days" shows where your plan leads.

  • Hens follow behind

    From the third ring a hen coop joins you. It only helps where the herd left two to four days ago, so you plan a trail, not a spot.

  • Sixty meadows, six rings

    Shut gates, rain and dry spells, sheep and goats, thistles, frost, ducks and two rings joined by a bridge. Every meadow was checked by a solver.

  • City Season

    Type any town. Its real forecast for the next two weeks decides how the grass grows in that day's meadow. Your location is never asked for.

  • Ears and an album

    Finish a season for one to three ears of grain. Each finished meadow is kept as a picture of the field as you left it.
