Needle in a haystack is a proverb about a search that looks hopeless, and these browser games take it literally: you dig through a giant pile of hay or straw until you uncover one tiny needle. Most of them build a loop around the dig. You sell what you collect, buy better tools and a bigger backpack, and chase your fastest time. These are separate browser games, each with its own rules and controls. They run on Nub Games without a download. Most use WASD or the arrow keys and the mouse; on a phone, an on-screen joystick.
