Ranked from 13 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Theme Implementation
Abstract plants grow on a hex grid, and to move a plant to its next stage you have to transplant it — just like real nurseries do to develop root systems.

Special Object addition
The shovel is the core of the game — it's both the tool you spend to transplant plants and move tools, and the currency you earn from orders. When the shovels run out, the game is over. And if you find the secret plant, it's tied to shovels too.

This was really enjoyable! Very clean and beautiful graphics! I could only get to 10 or so orders in my best run lol.

Developer

Really good but the time requirements and blocked tiles made the game feel clunky at least for me

Developer

Thanks! Fair enough — I get why it might feel that way.

great idea,a bit complex tho later on

Developer

Thanks! That’s fair — it does get heavy later. Where did it start getting complex for you?

Developer
