BDM Bet

BDM Bet is a quiet garden puzzle where the fruit is only the tool. What you are really working on is the soil underneath.

Swap two neighbouring fruit to line up three or more, exactly as you would expect. What happens next is not what you expect. Nothing falls from above. Cleared fruit grows back in the same square a moment later, so the shape of the bed never changes and a corner never becomes unreachable. Instead, every match raises the soil beneath it. Bare earth turns green, and green turns into a flower.

A bed is finished when every single square carries a flower. That turns the usual habit on its head. A big cascade in a patch you have already bloomed is worth almost nothing, while a plain match of three in the last dry corner is worth everything. You stop hunting for the biggest match and start hunting for the right one.

Twenty four beds each have their own outline. Some are full rectangles, some are diamonds, crosses, rings or hollow squares, and the odd shapes are the ones that make you think, because a narrow arm of two columns gives you very few ways to make a line at all.

Two garden tools help when a bed goes stubborn. The watering can raises a single square by one stage without spending a move. The shears cut one fruit so a jammed area gets fresh growth. Both are limited, so they are worth saving for a corner that has refused you three times.

Every finished bed presses a new flower into the album, and each flower is drawn differently. Ribbons record your first bloom, your longest cascade and the beds you finish with moves to spare. A local fair board keeps your best bloom score next to the village regulars.
