What is Burrowbark?

Lost animals are waiting all over the valley, and Hazel and Digby are on their way. Hazel is an eager beagle with a red scarf and a nose for hidden paths. Digby is a mole with round glasses and a miner's helmet who goes under every hedge.

Burrowbark is a turn based logic puzzle about teamwork. Swap between the two heroes with a tap, push crates, pull levers, dig, sniff and bring every duckling, piglet and bear cub back to the rescue van. Nothing moves until you do, so take all the time you need.

How to play

  1. Swipe to walk, or tap a square and your hero walks there. Tap the other hero to switch.
  2. Hazel pushes crates and logs, pulls levers and sniffs out the stepping stones hidden in the bog. Digby digs under hedges but cannot push or pull.
  3. Open gates with pressure plates, keys and levers, bridge rivers with a log, ride one way belts and time your steps around the fox.
  4. Carry every animal back to the van. Match the fewest moves for 3 stars. Undo and restart are always free.

Chapters

Chapters of 20 levels through eight places, from Sunny Meadow and Riverside to Pebble Quarry and Windy Hills. The first chapter is made by hand and teaches one idea at a time, then new levels keep coming, each one checked by a solver before you play it.

Why you'll love it

Meet the cast

HazelDigbyThe fox

Hazel

An eager beagle with a red scarf. She pushes crates and logs, pulls levers and sniffs out hidden stepping stones. She cheers, barks and never gives up on a lost friend.

Digby

A mole with round glasses and a miner's helmet with a lamp. He digs right under hedges, but his paws are for digging, not pushing. He squeaks when things go well.

The fox

A sneaky fox that takes a step every time you do, turns round when blocked and even presses plates. Not a villain, just a puzzle with a tail: time your moves.

The music

Cosy acoustic countryside folk: a gentle waltz on the menu with fingerpicked banjo, ukulele, a sweet fiddle and tin whistle, and a calm, curious folk groove with banjo and soft percussion while you think.

Questions and answers

Is Burrowbark free?

Yes, it is free on Google Play. There are two optional one-time purchases: one turns off the ads between levels, and Premium removes every ad and makes the hint, the daily skip and Improve score free each day, up to a daily limit. No lives, energy or coins for sale.

How do the ads work?

Ads never show during a level. A hint after level 5, the daily skip and Improve score come with a short ad you choose to watch. Now and then an ad may come between levels, never in your first days.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Every level, the storm night and the puzzle of the day work without a connection. Only ads and anonymous game statistics use the internet.

Which languages is it in?

English, Portuguese and Spanish, with German, French and Italian arriving in the next update.

Which devices can I play on?

Android phones, through Google Play.

Who is it for?

It is made for players aged 13 and over who like cosy logic puzzles. The official age rating is shown on Google Play.

Can every level be solved?

Yes. A solver checks every level before you play it, so there is always a way, and it knows the fewest moves, which is how the stars are counted.

What data does the game collect?

No account and no sign in. The game sends anonymous game events (levels, moves, hints, never a name or text) and its own error messages, tied to a random install ID. The ad network uses the advertising ID and an approximate location from your connection for ads. We never see your name, email, contacts or photos.
