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.

About

Rainrelay

A little rain. A garden in bloom. Step inside Rainrelay, a cozy puzzle game set in a clay-style greenhouse. Place a few umbrellas, choose where the rain should go, and find a path to every plant. EVERY UMBRELLA COUNTS Each garden gives you a limited set of umbrellas. Point ordinary umbrellas left or right, use split umbrellas to feed two branches, and leave useful sockets empty so the rain can fall straight through. Some flowerpots pass water to the plants below. Think through the route, then tap Rain to see your idea come to life. 30 GARDENS TO EXPLORE Start with a single turn and grow into puzzles with several tiers, shared streams, and winding paths. Water every plant to finish a garden. Reach both bells in the same successful run to earn all three stars. Retry, undo, and step-by-step hints let you explore at your own pace, without timers or lives. A GREENHOUSE OF YOUR OWN Earn seeds through play and use them to build your collection: 9 umbrella styles, 10 flowers, and 8 decorations. Arrange flowers and furniture, admire your folded umbrellas on the rack, and watch your owned umbrella fabrics bring variety to the puzzle boards. MAKE TIME FOR A LITTLE CALM Swipe around your spacious greenhouse and zoom in on a favorite corner. The light follows your device's local time, while in-game wind and snow bring movement to the view outside. Play the puzzles and enjoy your greenhouse offline. From Garden 04, you can choose an optional rewarded ad for extra seeds when an ad is available; continuing, retrying, and hints remain available without watching one. The collection uses seeds earned in the game. Available in English and Vietnamese, with layouts for iPhone and iPad, sound controls, and a reduced-motion setting. No account is needed to play.
