Grow your unique garden by rolling the dice and placing down tiles within the fences!
Experiment with the tiles to find bonuses! But be wary.. you only have a set number of turns!
╰(◡‿◡✿╰) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONTROLS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (◠△◠✿)
Select the dice with LMB and place in the garden. If you want to deselect a chosen dice, use the RMB.
Some dice can only be used when certain tiles are made. For example: Flower seeds can only be placed on grass tiles and fish can only be placed on water tiles.
Dice:
Water = Place on a dirt tile (creates a water tile and damp dirt tiles)
Grass seed = Place on a damp dirt tile (creates a grass tile)
Flower seed = Place on a grass tile (creates a flower tile, these take 2 turns to grow)
Fish = Place on a water tile (creates a fish tile)

Best I've been able to get so far, still trying though. Simple & fun game, really great.
Edit: Best is 600 so far.
I decided to try make a fun/aesthetic garden but when my points weren't adding up, I added some 4 tile blocks. Got a good score from it! I could see this extended to include more mixes like Doodle God or something.. Nice work!
Oh, one thing I would like added: a way to stop pressing NEXT unless you used all usable tiles. I kept absent-mindedly clicking NEXT before placing all tiles.
Fantastic relaxing garden game!! this has soooo much potential but is super cute and fun just as is. Really great job guys!!!
Thanks Draco, we love that you shared your garden! <3
Very cool little game! My one complain is that it pretty much felt like luck rather than strategy on if you did well or not, because of the randomness of the dice rolling mechanic I found myself usually getting stuff that wouldn't really contribute to my score at all, maybe weighting the dice to what the player needs would help that a little bit. One bug that noticed is that if you have a die selected and you try to select a different one it will use up the first one, not sure if it was intentional but it's a bit annoying.
Overall, this game is very nice with it's niche pixel art sprites and music, just needs some refining in terms of the gameplay.
Hey, thanks so much for trying our little jam game!
Agreed there was alot of luck involved because of the random dice roll, we were hoping this would add to the fun as everyone would end up with a different garden, but can also see the flip side of it adding difficulty! We had planned to lower the possibility of tiles that were more limiting, such as the fish and flowers.
We are aware of the bug that causes you to lose a dice! Unfortunately we were unable to fix this in time. You can however, de-select a chosen die with the RMB :>
Very cute, will post review later <3
First score for me
Thanks Wituz! A lovely flower arrangement you have there!
My best so far!
This was a fun, peaceful game. I enjoyed the music and loved the surprise trees and frogs!
Fun game. Well done. Another game I could see playing on my phone.
Thanks Enjaku! We were hoping the surprises would bring smiles! c:
