A downloadable game for Windows

Please note that the WINDOWS VERSION is preferred. Download below. If you still want to try the HTML5 version, the link is also available there.

The story

Legend speaks of a crow that found a mighty straw becoming all powerful and leaving other crows envious... The brave crow soared the skies, using the straw to defend himself from those who desired that magical object, venturing far into the scorching desert...

The game

Control the crow and its multi-use straw to survive as long as possible and fly as far as possible.

  • You have a straw that has three modes (multi-use):
    • Blowgun mode - lets you shoot shells at enemies (except mosquitoes - these are too small for the shells)
    • Suction mode - lets you pickup, eat and drink stuff from the ground
    • Melee mode - lets you swat at enemies up close (including mosquitoes) and destroy incoming bullets (and other stuff if you're not careful!!!)
  • Keep your health up. The desert is scorching hot (turn up the heat) and at high body temperatures you'll lose health.
  • Avoid crashing into platforms!
  • Recover hp by eating worms.
  • Lower your body temperature by sipping water.
  • Pickup additional ammo seeds.

Controls

You can use either keyboard and mouse or gamepad to control the game (menus with mouse), although keyboard and mouse might be better for aiming. There's a How to Play feature in the main menu that explains them better, but here they are as well:
