GAME PLAY

  • Adding leaves increases the health of the trees, but…
  • Plants on the ground below will die if in too much shadow!
  • The farther you extend branches, the more health is added by new leaves.
  • Mushrooms like shadows, and a fully grown mushroom resets the light for nearby plants.
  • A variety of playful wildlife to unlock and interact with throughout the game.
