Botanica: Garden Chain Puzzle

Botanica is a tranquil, floral-themed puzzle game based on classic chain reaction mechanics, designed as a serene gardening experience.
The Goal
Cultivate your garden grid and score as many points as possible within a strict limit of exactly 25 moves. Every tap requires careful planning to maximize your harvest.
How to Play
Plant Seeds: Start with an empty garden grid. Tap a tile on your turn to plant a seed.
Grow Flowers: Continue planting seeds on the same tile to watch them grow into a flower.
Bloom & Burst: Once a tile reaches its maximum capacity, the flower blooms and bursts, automatically scattering its seeds into all adjacent neighboring tiles.
Create Cascades: Strategy lies in setting up chain reactions. If a scattered seed lands on a neighboring tile that is already close to blooming, it triggers that flower to burst as well, causing cascading blooms across the board.
Strategic Scoring
While single blooms yield small points, triggering long chain reactions—known as a "Spring Awakening"—multiplies your score exponentially. Plan your moves to set off the largest cascades possible.
A Relaxing Experience
Botanica is designed to offer a calming, tactile atmosphere:
Aesthetics: A minimalist, elegant design featuring a soft pastel color palette of warm whites, earthy greens, and floral pinks.
Audio: Relaxing soundscapes featuring soothing chimes and soft water-drop sound effects that react to your inputs.
Visuals: Gentle swaying animations that bring your garden to life as you play.
