Poppy Field

The whistle has blown. It's time to go Over the Top.

No Man's Land stands between your trench and the enemy line. The mud is thick, the enemy is entrenched, and every single step is a guaranteed death sentence. It's time to stop charging blindly and start learning from the slaughter.

Poppy Field is a brutal top-down precision crawler where the only map you have is drawn by your previous deaths.

 The Game Loop

• The Advance: Push upward through a grueling, muddy trench system. Use Shift to jump in and out of trenches, diving into the mud to hide from incoming bullets.
• The Demise: You will die. Hidden landmines, sweeping machine guns, roaming tanks are waiting in the mud to take you out.
• The Memory: Death is not the end—it's intelligence. Upon respawning, the traps that killed you are permanently revealed on the map.
• The Breakthrough: Navigate the exact same gauntlet. Dodge the newly revealed threats, find the next hidden danger, and inch your way further to the top.

Can you memorize the meatgrinder and make it out alive?
