Scarecrow Hollow

Week 14

By Kyle (design & direction) · Released 2026-08-07

Scarecrow Hollow is a tower defense game about a farm under siege. You post patch-coat scarecrows beside the road, upgrade their gear through five tiers, and hold 100 fields against masked critters. Crow squads skip the roads entirely, so somebody has to mind the sky. The deep fields were tuned by hand and they get mean.

How to play

• Tap a straw pad, then pick a scarecrow from the tray.
• Stop the critters before they reach the barn. Each one through costs a crop.
• Tap a posted scarecrow to upgrade it, up to five tiers, or sell it back for 70 percent.
• Kites are the only dedicated answer to crows. Storm rods, bells, and bees also reach the sky.
• Call waves early for bonus gold. Flip the 2x lever when you feel safe.

Desktop: Click a pad, then a card to post a scarecrow. Click a posted one to upgrade or sell. N calls the next wave, F toggles 2x speed, X sells. Arrows and Enter play the whole game on keyboard. · Mobile: Tap a pad, then a card. Tap a posted scarecrow to upgrade or sell. The tray and wave buttons sit along the bottom edge.

Why we built this

An early build was too soft. One upgraded scarecrow could hold the opening fields alone, so we rebuilt the raiders to come in crowds. The crows fly in squads now, and a single kite cannot cover one. The late fields get mean, and we meant them to.
