How it plays

A real level from the game, recorded in the game itself.

  1. Hold to pour

    Your Seed Pot pours out a stream of pips. Slide to aim.

  2. Pick your gates

    ×3 or +20? Good gates grow your crowd. A wave of glums is coming.

  3. Hug the gloom

    Every hug cheers up a glum. Bloom the keep to win.

The Grove village: the Seed Hall tree house, the bakery, the beehive, the nursery and the watering-can well, with Pim and friends.
Drag the slider to compare the grey Grove with the restored one.
