A tiny windowsill, one curious plant, and you. Open the window for sun, run the sink for water, and grow a little friendship together. PlantFriend is a quiet, cozy game about taking care of a small plant on your desk. No timers. No high scores to chase. No enemies. Just you, your friend, and a soft afternoon. What you can do: * Care for three needs: light, water, and warmth. Drag your plant anywhere on the desk to find the right balance. * Open the window for fresh sun (and breeze, and sometimes rain). * Run the sink when your friend gets thirsty. * Flip the lamp on cloudy days for a little artificial sunshine. * Switch on the fan to cool the room down. * Watch out for the radiator. It clanks to life on its own and warms the left side of the room. * Live through the weather. Sun drifts to clouds, clouds drift to rain. Each one changes what your plant gets through the window. * Leave the window open during a rainstorm and you'll get free water, plus a wet floor. * Earn your plant's friendship. The longer you take good care of it, the bigger the number gets. That is the whole game. * Listen. Each interaction has its own ambient sound, and a soft piano drifts in and out in the background. Plays nicely under your own music. Designed for landscape iPhone, played a few minutes at a time. Your plant remembers you between visits. Take care of your friend. They are rooting for you.
