Planty Planterson is a cozy plant-care game about one sunflower and the small daily habits that keep it thriving. Water it. Give it sun. Bring it inside when the weather turns. Clear the aphids, weeds and slugs before they take a toll. Every bit of care earns XP, and your plant grows through eight stages, from a hopeful Sproutling to a towering Sun Sage. WATCH THE SKY A rolling forecast drives every day: sun, rain, wind, snow and the occasional heatwave. Sunlight feeds your plant, but heat and cold both take a toll. Read the forecast, move your plant indoors or back out, and time your watering around it. KEEP THE PESTS OFF Aphids, weeds, slugs and gnats all turn up uninvited. Reach for the right tool: pruners, spray bottle, work gloves. Deal with them before your plant pays for it. TWO MINI-GAMES • Sunbeam Catch: drag a leaf to gather falling suns for 45 seconds, dodging storm clouds. Some of them chase you. • Pollination Path: trace a bee through every flower in 60 seconds without crossing a leaf. Both pay Sun Coins and XP, and both have harder tiers to unlock and medals to chase. MAKE IT YOURS Spend Sun Coins on petals, flower centers, pots and wall art, and mix them into a plant that looks like nobody else's. DESIGNED TO BE KIND • The simulation pauses when you close the app, so your plant never withers while you are away • No ads, ever • Reminders are optional and off by default • Full-size layouts on both iPhone and iPad Sun Coins are earned by playing. Coin packs and protective shields are available as optional purchases if you would rather skip ahead.
