Growing Debt
Tend to your plants. Grow your profits. Pay off your debt.
You’ve been hired by a rather… questionable sorcerer to manage his shop.
Plant seeds, water them, and harvest them for gold... simple enough.
But some plants aren’t what they seem.
The Voidheart spreads corruption to everything around it, twisting your crops and pushing them toward death. Handle it carefully… and whatever you do...
don’t let it die.
Use strange modifiers to bend the rules:
- Cleanse corruption with Salt
- Defy death with Phoenix Ash
- Gamble everything with Dragon Scale Dust
- Manipulate time with Frost Essence
- Restore perfection with Liquid Moonlight
Balance risk and reward, keep your plants alive, and survive long enough to satisfy the sorcerer.
Or don’t.
He’s very understanding.
…about adding to your debt.
HOW TO PLAY:
Start by selecting a plant on the right menu, you have 6 choices:
- Shimmerbell
- Razorspine
- Dewcap
- Flamewhisper
- Driftern
- Voidheart
Then click a pot to plant it, you must have enough gold in your balance. Once you have planted your first seeds, use the water tool too hydrate your plants. By hovering on your plant you can see its current hydration level. Do not let it reach 0 as it will hurt the plant.
Slowly your plants will begin to grow. Keep them hydrated, and they will become harvestable. Click on them to harvest them.
You may use modifiers, these items change the characteristic and behaviors of the plant... Use them to increase the value of your plants... you can get pretty insane rewards with the right combinations... go on and find them :D.
Modifiers:
- Salt: Removes Corruption
- Dragon Scale Dust: 50% of the time it will double the reward, but has 50% chance of permanently killing the plant.
- Phoenix Ash: Revives a dead plant (other than dead by dragon scale dust)
- Liquid Moonlight: Restores a plant to its best form, plus resets health to 200%
- Frost essence: Freezes a plant, then makes it regrow.Multiplies the reward by the stage it was at the moment it got frozen.
