A downloadable game for Windows

You were living a peaceful life, as the Alchemists Familiar. It ended when the foolish Alchemist disappeared in an explosion, which caused a Void Hole to open in the garden. Now you, a small familiar, have to figure out a way to stop the spread of the Void by means of Gardening and Alchemy.

Features

  • Five different plants - each growing in a different pattern and giving different resources! Twoi of them are only spawne when ofshoots of other plants overlap
  • A noisy Void Hole - try to survive as long as possible, slowing down the spread of the Void with Plants and Potions
  • It's Spreading! - proximity to the Void makes plants grow rapidly. Make sure to plan where you place them - otherwise their ofshoots might destroy other plants
  • Two Potions and two Golems you can craft to help you maintain the garden

How to Play

Check your inventory for seeds, Plant them, buy more seeds from the shop if you can. Then proceed to the next day.

Each day you can:

  • gather resources form your plants
  • sell things and buy more seeds
  • chop down some of the ofshoots if you are worried about them overgrowin other plants
  • craft and use potions/place golems

Void Hole spreads faster with each day, but it can be slowed down by feeding it plants and special potions.
