Hold to pour, slide to aim. Your seed pot pours out a stream of tiny helpers. Pick the right gate and lane, and one helper becomes a hundred in seconds. Every helper that reaches a grumpy monster opens its mitten arms and gives it a hug. The monster cheers up, a flower grows and color comes back to the land. 1,000 levels Choose your gates, hold your lane and cheer up the bosses. Every boss has a signature move, from a royal belly flop to a big sneeze, and a mark on the ground shows where it will land. Helpers that get bumped tumble back, sit dizzy for a moment and run right back in. Cute animal friends Collect cute animals, each one fused with a garden thing, like Lumi, a hedgehog with a lantern.
