Clove Stick

Clove Stick is a cozy drying-yard arcade game about one delicate craft: spreading fresh clove buds into a perfectly even layer.

Drag the bamboo rake along the mat grain to push thick piles into bare spots. Rake across the grain and you crush the buds into costly debris. Thick heaps trap heat and fill the stuffiness meter, thin patches waste the mat, so keep every cell inside the golden band.

When the FLIP bell rings, tap fast to toss the layer and cool the batch. When the storm bell rings, drag the waxed cover cloth onto the mat before the afternoon shower hits, then carry it home again.

Clear twelve drying days with bigger harvests, odder mat shapes and wilder weather. Earn coins and stars, then spend them in the market on six real upgrades: a wide rake, soft bristles, a quick cloth, a shade fan, a lucky sieve and a golden mat.
