A dark night garden, drifting flower buds, and a single tap in your hand. Tap anywhere and a flower blooms; every bud it touches blooms too. Find the right moment and the right spot to set the whole garden alight in one move. • 100 handcrafted levels — every one provably balanced • Distinct flower species: seed-scattering dandelions, pulling bellflowers, moonflowers that only bloom in the dark • Obstacles: chain-cutting stones, chain-carrying bees, drifting winds • Still gardens: pure planning puzzles — no luck, just thought • Every bloom is a note: the longer your chain, the higher your melody • Anthem and Melody gardens: play public-domain tunes flower by flower • Endless Garden: a run that never ends — beat your own record • Daily garden: everyone plays the same layout — who chains longest? • Leaderboards and badges: compete worldwide, complete your collection • Flower encyclopedia: replay the bloom of every species you discover • Accessibility: a "Reduce Motion" mode, species told apart by shape Ads are gentle and optional. Losing never hurts — restarting is instant. One more tap, one more chain...

Draw the wind. Guide a balloon through a continuous sky—city, clouds, storm, sunset, night, and the edge of space. Wind is a limited resource. Obstacles are fair. Near misses reward precision. Wish Fragments unlock looks, never power.
