Groundhog Heist

Groundhog Heist is a top-down stealth game starring Snoot, a groundhog trying to steal vegetables across three farms. Each farm presents a puzzle of routes, cover and timing, with danger escalating from the Outer Ridge through the Farmland to the Homestead.

Avoid the farmer, his guard dog and a patrolling tractor as you sneak between crops and plan your escape. The farmer investigates disturbances and repairs sabotage, while the dog tracks by smell and sound. On the third farm, finding the real grand pumpkin means sorting through locked greenhouses, decoys and hidden keys.

Gameplay and features

• Three farms to infiltrate: Sneak through the Outer Ridge, Farmland and Homestead, each with its own layout, sight lines and increasing risk.
• Dig to evade pursuit: Carve tunnels in six directions to travel underground, cross the map and escape the farmer or his dog.
• Sabotage sprinklers: Tamper with sprinklers to create distractions, flood paths or disrupt a chase.
• Watch for multiple pursuers: The farmer patrols, investigates and chases, while his dog follows smell and sound. A tractor also moves along its own patrol route.
• Search for valuable crops: Ordinary vegetable beds are joined by hidden carrots, peppers and potatoes that may be worth the extra risk.
• Solve the grand pumpkin heist: On the third farm, search for keys and identify the real pumpkin among greenhouse and field decoys; some keys are fakes.
