Moon Garden

Moon Garden is an incremental game with a cosy tone. The player’s goal is to grow a tree tall enough to escape and make their way home. Progress comes from managing a garden and improving the systems that support it.

The player arranges flowers within garden pods, with the placement of plants forming part of the strategy. Seeds are bought from a vending machine that works like a pachinko machine. Stardust is spent on permanent upgrades to the garden. The tree can be turned into mulch so that it grows back stronger, which provides a way to restart and build on earlier progress.

The player can also build small robots that assist with work in the garden. Alongside planting and upgrading, the game asks the player to optimise its machinery as they work towards growing the tree to the required height.
